Abstract:
A transport device for a microfilm passage camera has a document supply device, and a transport device for further transporting a document in a camera and/or a document discharge device. Each of the document supply device and document transport device have a plurality of rotary members, a plurality of rings arranged so that each of the rotary members abuts against a respective one of the rings, a plurality of transporting rollers arranged so that the rings are mounted in groups on the transporting rollers, a lower guiding sheet limiting from above a document passage and provided with a plurality of perforations through which the rings extend into the document passage. The transporting rollers are driveable with a speed corresponding to filming of a document in the filming station.
Abstract:
A continuous microfilming apparatus comprising a filming station, means for feeding documents to be microfilmed to the filming station, means for collecting the documents after they have been filmed, and means for transporting the documents from the filming station to the collecting means and turning the documents over substantially 180.degree. while transporting them, which transporting and turnover means includes a transporting reel defining a turnover path of substantially 180.degree. andd flexible guide means circumscribing the transporting reel substantially over 180.degree. and defining therewith a transporting channel for the documents.
Abstract:
An apparatus including separate mechanisms for photographing documents under automatic exposure control and recording image data, such as blip marks and frame numbers, at the same time. Even when the document has been completely photographed, the photographing mechanism is prohibited from transporting the film until the image data is completely recorded. The photographing mechanism photographs the document with automatically controlled proper exposure time in accordance with the density of the document. The data recording mechansim is independent of the photographing mechanism to record the image data properly under a constant condition, irrespective of variations in the exposure time in conformity with the document density. When the image data has not been recorded despite the completion of photographing operation, transport of the film is prevented to avoid failure in image data recording.
Abstract:
An image recording apparatus records originals of various sizes onto a recording medium. The image recording apparatus includes a detecting device for detecting the size of the original, and an information recording device for recording information representing the size of the original which is detected by the detecting device for each image recorded on the recording medium.
Abstract:
A microfilming camera for taking an microimage of a document on a film. The microfilming camera comprises a main mirror disposed beneath a transparent document support for the support thereon of a document to be microfilmed, which main mirror is used to deflect the optical path of a photo-taking system, a side mirror disposed on each side of the space delimited between the document support and the main mirror, and illuminating sources positioned exteriorly of the optical path and disposed in face-to-face relationship with the respective side mirrors.
Abstract:
A self-contained COM (Computer Output on Microfilm) microimage recorder provides completed microfiche records of computer generated images. A master film strip travels a path including exposure, developing and duplication stations. An optics assembly at the exposure station exposes a pattern of numerous images provided serially by a cathode ray tube onto an image area of the master film strip. The entire image area is developed by heat at the developing station. A duplicate film strip moves along a path merging with the master film path at the duplication station where an entire pattern of images is duplicated onto an image area of the duplicate film strip from a developed image area of the master film strip. Duplicate film image areas are cut from the end of the strip as individual microfiche records and exit from the recorder as completed records after being developed and cleared.
Abstract:
A camera box for a microfilm camera for processing a film carried by an aperture card comprises an elongated housing, a magazine for a series of the aperture cards in the housing, a film exposure station arranged in the housing to receive the aperture cards from the magazine in sequence, conveyors arranged in the housing for conveying a respective aperture card carrying an exposed film, the conveyors defining a travel path for the aperture cards in the housing, and a drying station in the travel path. The throughput speed of the cards through the camera box is improved by providing a first station for completely developing the exposed film of the respective aperture card and a second, like station for completely developing the exposed film of a subsequent one of the aperture cards, the first and second developing stations being arranged in the travel path between the exposure and drying stations, and the conveyors being arranged for alternately delivering the sequence of aperture cards carrying the exposed films from the exposure station to the first and second developing stations.
Abstract:
The microfilm camera is designated for filming punch cards. It is comprised of a camera box containing the exposing and processing facilities, said box being vertically adjustable with respect to the table for receiving the originals arranged beneath said box, and of punch card conveying elements and at least one lateral card-discharging slot and a punch card collected disposed following said slot.A punch card reversing facility is arranged upstream of the collector in order to deliver the punch cards to the collector not only in the correct sequence, but also with their inscribed surfaces facing down. Camera boxes with ejection of the punch cards at both sides are provided with a transverse conveyor conveying the punch cards alternately from the one and other side to a central collector, said punch cards arriving in said central collector with their sides reversed.
Abstract:
A microfilm camera, typically for 16 mm film, having plural coplanar friction-driven belts. The film is held to the belts by vacuum, so that the film and the belts move together.Vacuum film-loop chambers allow accurate low-inertia control of the film positioning for exposure.An intermittently rotatable shutter may be provided for appropriate exposure of the desired image upon the film.Programmable logic receives data from plural sensors and its controls drive means to correlate significant film movement and stationary periods with the functioning of opto-mechanical elements for exposing the film while it is stationary.
