Abstract:
A simple camera and film cartridge which enables the film to be developed within the camera, comprising a length of film within the cartridge with its ends joined to form a loop. The film loop can be advanced in one direction to take successive pictures and then can be moved in the reverse direction for developing. At the beginning of reverse movement, the film removes a cover that separates it from a sponge that is saturated with a monobath developer/fixer solution, so that continuous turning of the loop develops the film which can then be removed from the cartridge.
Abstract:
A toy for a spaceman doll to provide the effect of amplification of the stride and reach of the doll. The carrier comprises a pair of adjustable stilts with clamps for holding the boots of a spaceman doll. A frame which simulates a backpack for the doll, pivotally joins the stilts near their top to enable movement of the stilts apart and together to simulate giant doll strides. Long grasping tools on each side of the doll simulate apparatus for extending its reach.
Abstract:
Apparatus for playing chords on a guitar which enables a rapid change between chord positions, including the major, minor, and dominant seventh chords of two keys separated by five half-tones. The apparatus comprises a chording device with levers for changing between the major, minor and dominant seventh chords of one key. The chording device is shiftable laterally, and it includes cams which alter the positions at which the guitar strings are depressed when a lateral shift occurs to establish the corresponding chord in the other key.
