Abstract:
A film guide for a movie camera having an image window which is arranged in a recording beam path of the movie camera, a gripper platform which is supported on the image window, between whose mutually facing film planes a film channel is formed through which a movie film is moved by a film transport mechanism, and a spacing window which is connected to the gripper platform. The spacing window is supported on the image window in such a manner that the film channel narrows to form a film gap between the mutually facing film planes of the image window and the spacing window.
Abstract:
A universal projector mount that can be fitted to mount projectors of a variety of different makes and models. The invention includes multiple adjustable arms coupled with an interface plate that is, in turn, attached to a standard projector mount on the fixed structure from which the projector is supported. The arms are adjustable radially and longitudinally to virtually any position so as to accommodate various fastener or fastener receiving locations on different makes and models of projectors.
Abstract:
A film passage is formed at a rear side of an exposure aperture which is disposed between a cartridge chamber 11 and a film take-up chamber 12. The film passage comprises a passage channel 15 integrally formed with a camera main body and a film support plate covering a rear side of the passage channel. By covering the passage channel with the film support plate, an inside of the slit-like film passage is maintained in light-tight state before attaching the rear cover to the main body. A film take-up chamber cover is attached to the film take-up chamber to constitute a part of a wall thereof. By covering a rear side of the film take-up chamber with the film take-up chamber cover, the inside of the film take-up chamber is maintained in light-tight state before attaching the rear cover to the main body.
Abstract:
An apparatus for intermittently feeding a movie film on a frame by frame basis to a film processing unit for processing thereat by inserting projections into openings formed on both sides of the movie film at predetermined pitches and driving the same by use of a driving device. The film processing apparatus may include a guiding device for guiding the film along a path which passes nearby the film processing unit so as to enable the film processing unit to capture an image from the film and to perform processing of the same. The film processing apparatus may further include a device for exerting pressure on the film by moving the guiding device so that a portion of the film which passes nearby the film processing unit is held in tension, and a restraining device for restraining the guiding means from moving.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a camera of a type for writing or reading out information on or from a magnetic track provided to a film using a magnetic head. This invention provides a camera of the type which has a regulating member which contacts an end face, in the widthwise direction, of a film to regulate the position, in the widthwise direction, of the film, and in which a surface portion, near the regulating member, of a surface formed between inner and outer rails of a camera main body is formed at a higher level than that of the remaining surface, thereby minimizing deformation of the film on the surface between the inner and outer rails when the end face of the film is regulated by the regulating member.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for flattening photographic film at the time of picture-taking involves applying a force-field to a photographic film made responsive to said force field to attract it against a reference surface. The force field may be electric, magnetic, AC, DC, or a combination of these.
Abstract:
A photographic camera having an exposure frame at the rear end of a lens barrel. A camera body is molded integrally with the lens barrel. Flanks are formed by a pair of vertical surfaces lying in planes parallel to the optical axis on inner surfaces of the frame receiving surface at locations that define four corners of an exposure aperture so as to extend radially outward from the inner surface of the lens barrel adjacent the rear end thereof. An aperture frame is detachably mounted on the camera body from behind the camera to define the exposure aperture. The flanks formed adjacent the rear end of the lens barrel or the frame receiving surface are effective to prevent individual frames of film from being subjected to undesirable vignetting. The aperture frame is mounted on the camera body from behind. A pair of masking plates is provided for panoramic photography. The rear side of the camera body is provided along vertically opposite edges of the barrel's rear end with these masking plates, and the aperture frame is mounted on the rear side of the camera body behind these masking plates.
Abstract:
A film feeding amount detection apparatus of a camera includes a roller device which rotates in a driven manner with respect to the movement of a film, a reflecting device which shares the use of the rotation shaft with the roller device and which is formed into a polygonal pillar shape such that a plurality of reflecting surfaces are formed on the outer periphery of the rotation shaft, and a light projection and receiving device, which is disposed at a position facing the reflecting surfaces formed on the reflecting device, for projecting light to the reflecting surface portion and receiving light reflected back therefrom.
Abstract:
A continuous taking camera, having eight consecutive exposure apertures, creates a picture frame having a size defined by alignment of two frames of 35 mm full size. Scenes for eight sub-frames are taken using the two full-size frames. Behind the exposure apertures, there are horizontally aligned two pressure plates each having a size corresponding to one frame of full size. When a photographic film is in the exposure station, the pressure plates hold the film flat. In a preferred embodiment, a spring plate biases the pressure plates to press the film. The pressure plates are retained on a rear door of the camera against the bias of the spring plate, so that the pressure plates are prevented from being dismounted from the rear door.
Abstract:
Film boxes for attachment to and use with a camera are keyed and secured by thumb screws to a shutter housing of the camera to permit detachment and accurte reattachment. Light restrictive devices negate transmission of light into each film box upon removal of same. A longitudinally displaceable film reel drive permits rapid disengagement and reengagment of the film boxes without careful alignment and a belt drive prevents, through slippage, film tearing forces.
