Description
P ~IB60z47 me invention relates to an apparatus for ~evering developed photographic film strips into sections and immediately mounting same in slide frames consisting of a base portion and a cover portion, wherein the film films and frames are conveyed in parallel guide paths, two parallel outting elements are provided at a spacing corresponding to the length of the film section, and a tong-like gripper for inserting the film section in the spread-open frame is provided in the spaoe between ssid cutting elements to engage the severed film section at the trailin~ longitudinai edge thereof as viewed in the inserting direction.
An apparatu~ of this kind is known from DILPS 1 91~ 970. Such an apparatus has the advantage that a so-called double cut can be produced by two knives during the severing operation so that a unlform length of slide is achieved even if the images are at uneven intervals.
1~ The invention aims to simplify the const~uction of the known apparatus and improve its operation, particularly to accelerate the framing operation.
In an apparatus of the aforementioned k;nd~ this aim is fblfilled ~n that, starting from a storage magasine and between guide ~;
faces that hold down the side edges of the frame, a bar is provided which hQs a taper facing the magazine ~o that the cover of each frame riding onto the b æ is i~exed upwardly.
qhe spreading of the ¢over obtained thereby is, according to a development of the invention, increased duri~g further advance of the frame in the guide path in that a ramp i9 provided in the guide path for the frame in a staggered relationship to the taper of the bar in the oonveying direction to engage between the base portion and oo~er and lift the cover one step further.

' ~060Z~7 spread frame, it causes the cover to be lifted further.
If, for some reason, the gripper iæ not able to insert the severed film section fully into the frame, the invention provides for a tapered guide b æ downstream of the outting elements, with a rear aection, a~ viewed in the conv~ying direction, extending into the gap between the ~pread frame portion~.
E~amples of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawing wherein:-Fig. 1 is a plan view of the important p æ ts of the apparatus;
Fig. 2 is a pictorial view of a portion of the apparatus;
Fig. 3 is a oross-~eotion through ~ig. 1 taken at the position of the outting elements and the inserting station for the ~lide;
Fig. 4 is a diagra~matic plan view of a modified form of the i~vention, and Fig. 5 is a section on the line A-A in Fig. 4 in elevation.
5he construction of tne a~paratus in its various embodiments will be evident from the following description of the operation.
In framing machines where the ~ilm is fed parallel to the opening in the frame instead of at right-angles thereto, the con~eying motion of the film cannot be utilised for partially or entirely inserting the film in the frame. In this case, a tong-like gripper 1 has to engage the ~evered film section 2 in the region of the perforations 3 and insert it in the frame 5 in the direction of the srrow 4. Such arrangements where the film feed direction (arrow 6) and frame convey~ng direction (arrow 7) are parallel to one another are employed if a so-called double cut i8 to be oarried out with the two kni~es 8, 8~ to schieve a l-n~form length of ~evered slide even if the lmages on the film are unevenly spaced.
~y intermittent advancin~ motion of the frames out of the ms~azine 9 in the direction of the arrow 7, the frames pass through .

the stations I-V, the function of which is known from DT-AS
1,918,970. They are thereby moved along a guide track that is illustrated in Fig. 2 in perspective. Directly after leaving the storage magazine 9, the frame is lifted at the centre by the lead-ing taper 10 of a bar 11. This causes the frame to bend because its side edges are still being restrained by the guide faces 12, 12'. Accordingly, the cover 13 of the frame 5 is flexed upwardly.
Such flexure of the cover is intensified during further feeding of the frame along the guide track in that the ramp 14 engages between the base portion and cover of the frame and thereby lifts the cover one step 15 further. In this last-mentioned position, the frame 5 will then assume the position of Fig. 3. The gripper 1 holding the film 2 between its jaws 16, 17 can now insert the film section 2 through a recess 18 into the frame when moving in the direction of the arrow 19. The gripper 1 is coursely curved and the leading end thereof lifts the cover 13 still further upon insertion of a film section into the slide frame. Upon termination of this movement, a pawl 20 releases the clamping jaws 16, 17 again so that the film section 2 can be deposited within the frame. To prevent unintentional movement of the film section at this time, downward motion of a pull rod 21 in the direction of the illus-- trated arrow causes a pin 22 to press on the cover 13. This clamps the film within the frame and the gripper 1 can return to its starting position illustrated in broken lines in Fig. 3.
If the gripping jaws or arms 16, 17 of the gripper 1 are unable to penetrate into the frame to the extent illustrated in Fig. 3, it is possible to use this gripper 1 for only partially inserting the film in the frame. The apparatus is then modified to provide the additional means illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5.

'^ 106~247 sect$on 2 is now conveyed in the direction of the arrow 23. During such conveying, the severed film section 2 passe~ along a guide bar 24 which is oblique with respect to the conveying direction of the slide frame 5. The corner 25 of the severed film section 2 rides onto the oblique front edge 26 of ~he guide bar 24. During this conveying of the ~evered film section 2 along the guide bar 24, it is displaced into the slide frame 5 in the direction of the arrow 27. ~he angle of the oblique guide edge of the bar is chosen 80 that r the film section does not become twisted whilst it is being inserted in the 61ide frame.
In an advantageous embodiment of the apparatus, the guide bar 24 has, as shown ln Fig. 5, an inwardly notched shape. Thi6 has the advantage that the corner of the film section 2 will be restraiaed from moving upwardly or downwardly.
As will be evident from Figs. 4 and 5, a rear section of the --guide bar as viewed in the conveying direction extends into the space between the spread-apart or folded-open frame portions. ~pon ~lrther movement Or the ~evered film section 2 out of the severing station, the guide bar thus arrives between the base portion of the frame ~0 and the cover 1~. Fhrther feeding of the severed film section 2 out of the severing station therefore enables the guide bar to perform a double function. Cn the one hand it keeps the frame portions in the spread or folded-open condition and on the other hand it pushes the severed film section 2 up to its final position of use in the slide frame 5, i.e. into the position for projection.
