Abstract

An apparatus for marking the back of a photographic proof with data corresponding to data on the corresponding negatives in a system where the negatives are on a film strip having at each negative an edge notch and the proofs are on a print strip having spaced cutouts comprises a film drive for advancing same from the upstream to the downstream drive roll past a read location. A sensor detects the film-advance speed and generates an output corresponding thereto. A print drive advances this strip past a write location. Another sensor detects the paper-advance speed and generates an output corresponding thereto. A controller is connected to at least one of the drives and to the sensors for synchronizing displacement of the strips past the respective locations such that each proof is at the write location generally when the respective negative is at the read location. Another detector generates an output each time a notch is in a predetermined position at the read location. Another read head at the read location triggered through the controller by the notch detector each time the exposure data of the respective negative is in the read location reads this data. Another detector generates an output each time a cutout is in a predetermined position at the write location. A write head at the write location triggered through the controller by the cutout detector each time the print is aligned with the write head marks the back of the print strip with the exposure data read by the read head on the respective negative.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif destiné au marquage, au dos d'une épreuve photographique, de données portées en partie sur le négatif correspondant, ces données étant par exemple consti­tuées par le numéro de la vue et éventuellement par l'ajout de la date en clair.The present invention relates to a device intended for marking, on the back of a photographic print, data carried in part on the corresponding negative, this data being for example constituted by the number of the view and possibly by the addition of the date in clear.

Lorsqu'un usager désire tirer de nouveaux exemplaires d'une ou plusieurs photos dont il détient un tirage, il lui est souvent difficile et inhabituel de lire les négatifs pour déterminer avec précision celui qui correspond à un tirage déterminé.When a user wishes to print new copies of one or more photos of which he has a print, it is often difficult and unusual for him to read the negatives to determine precisely which one corresponds to a specific print.

L'invention vise à résoudre cette difficulté, par un dispositif de marquage automatique du numéro du négatif au dos du tirage papier, et dont le fonctionnement utilise la présence de l'encoche effectueé au bord du négatif de chaque vue tirable après développement du négatif. Il s'agit d'une encoche en demi-lune placée au milieu de la vue sur le bord opposé à celui où est inscrit le numéro de cette vue. A noter que toutes les vues ne sont pas tirées, et sur le papier, il existe aussi des perforations dites de coupes qui marquent chacune la séparation entre deux épreuves successives. Les négatifs constituent un film, et les épreu­ves photographiques constituent une bande de tirage-papier qui porte des perforations, dites de tri, marquant le début et la fin d'un ordre Client. Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte :
    - une unité logique centrale de traitement et de commande;
    - un dispositif apte à faire défiler ce film en le faisant passer d'une bobine amont sur une bobine aval ;
    - un dispositif apte à faire défiler cette bande-papier en la faisant passer d'une bobine amont sur une bobine aval, au moins un de ces deux dispositifs recevant de l'unité logique des ordres de synchroni­sation de sa vitesse de défilement avec la vitesse de défilement de l'autre dispositif ;
    - un premier détecteur qui fournit à l'unité logique un signal de détection d'une encoche sur le négatif ;
    - un deuxième détecteur qui fournit à l'unité logique un signal de détection d'une perforation sur la bande de tirage papier ;
    - un premier moyen de fourniture à l'unité logique d'une infor­mation représentative de la vitesse de défilement du film ;
    - un deuxième moyen de fourniture à l'unité logique d'une infor­ mation représentative de la vitesse de défilement de la bande de tirage-­papier ;
    - un dispositif de prise de vues apte à photographier, en réponse à une détection d'encoche, au moins une partie des données portées sur ce négatif, et à transmettre cette photographie sous forme numérisée à l'unité logique ; et
    - une tête d'écriture, pilotée par cette unité logique, et apte à transcrire ces données photographiées au dos du tirage-papier qui corres­pond à ce négatif.The invention aims to resolve this difficulty, by an automatic marking device for the number of the negative on the back of the paper print, and the operation of which uses the presence of the notch made at the edge of the negative of each drawable view after development of the negative. It is a half-moon notch placed in the middle of the view on the edge opposite to that on which the number of this view is written. Note that not all views are drawn, and on paper, there are also perforations called cuts which each mark the separation between two successive prints. The negatives constitute a film, and the photographic prints constitute a strip of print-paper which carries perforations, called sorting, marking the beginning and the end of a Customer order. The device according to the invention comprises:
- a central logical processing and control unit;
- A device capable of scrolling this film by passing it from an upstream reel to a downstream reel;
a device able to scroll this strip of paper by passing it from an upstream reel to a downstream reel, at least one of these two devices receiving orders from the logic unit to synchronize its running speed with the speed scrolling from the other device;
- a first detector which supplies the logic unit with a signal for detecting a notch on the negative;
- a second detector which supplies the logic unit with a signal for detecting a perforation on the paper print strip;
a first means of supplying the logic unit with information representative of the speed of travel of the film;
- a second means of supplying the logical unit with information mation representative of the running speed of the paper-printing strip;
a device for taking pictures able to photograph, in response to a notch detection, at least part of the data carried on this negative, and to transmit this photograph in digitized form to the logic unit; and
- a writing head, controlled by this logical unit, and able to transcribe this data photographed on the back of the paper print which corresponds to this negative.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise, et ses avantages et autres caractéristiques ressortiront, au cours de la description suivante d'un exemple non limitatif de réalisation, en référence à la figure unique et schématique annexée.In any case, the invention will be well understood, and its advantages and other characteristics will emerge during the following description of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, with reference to the single and schematic figure appended.

Sur cette figure, le film développé 1, qui contient l'ensemble des négatifs 2, défile continûment entre deux bobines, dont une bobine aval 3 entraînée en rotation par un moteur électrique 4, et une bobine amont 5 non entraînée, si ce n'est bien entendu par le film 1. Le film 1 est à l'origine totalement enroulé sur la bobine 5. Chaque vue tirable 2 de ce film porte, sur un de ses deux bords 6 et en son milieu, une encoche 7 en demi-lune. De même, le rouleau de papier 8, sur lequel les vues ont été tirées, défile continûment entre deux bobines, dont une bobine aval 9, entraînée en rotation par un moteur 10, et une bobine amont 11 sur laquelle le papier 8 est entièrement enroulé à l'origine. De manière connue, la bande de tirage - papier 8 porte des perforations 12 sur au moins un de ses deux bords, ces perforations marquant le début ou la fin d'une épreuve photographique, et le début et la fin d'un ordre Client.In this figure, the developed film 1, which contains all of the negatives 2, runs continuously between two coils, including a downstream coil 3 driven in rotation by an electric motor 4, and an upstream coil 5 not driven, if not is of course by the film 1. The film 1 is originally completely wound on the reel 5. Each pullable view 2 of this film carries, on one of its two edges 6 and in the middle, a notch 7 in half Moon. Likewise, the roll of paper 8, on which the views were drawn, continuously scrolls between two reels, including a downstream reel 9, driven in rotation by a motor 10, and an upstream reel 11 on which the paper 8 is entirely wound originally. In a known manner, the paper printing strip 8 carries perforations 12 on at least one of its two edges, these perforations marking the start or the end of a photographic print, and the start and end of a Customer order.

Une unité logique centrale 13 de traitement et de commande, constituée par un ordinateur équipé d'interfaces, reçoit et traite les données suivantes :
    - vitesse de défilement du film 1, reçue par une connexion 14 reliée à une roue codeuse 15 ;
    - vitesse de défilement de la bande de tirage papier 8 reçue par une connexion 17 reliée à une roue codeuse 16 ;
    - impulsion de détection du passage d'une encoche 7 du film 1, correspondant à un négatif déterminé 25 et reçue par une connexion 18 reliée à un capteur 19 ;
    - impulsion de détection d'une perforation 12 de la bande de tirage-papier 8, reçue par une connexion 23 reliée à un autre capteur 24 ;
    - des informations logiques ou analogiques de photographie des inscriptions portées sur le négatif, reçues par une connexion 20 reliée à la sortie d'une caméra de lecture 21 ; la caméra 21 est placée au dessus du film 1, de manière à lire, en coopération avec une source d'éclairage 22, les inscriptions portées sur le négatif du côté de celui qui est opposé au bord 6 portant les encoches demi-lune 7 ; le film n'est préférentiel­lement pas arrêté pendant la lecture de ces inscriptions.A central logic processing and control unit 13, constituted by a computer equipped with interfaces, receives and processes the following data:
- running speed of the film 1, received by a connection 14 connected to a coding wheel 15;
- running speed of the paper printing strip 8 received by a connection 17 connected to an encoder wheel 16;
- detection pulse of the passage of a notch 7 of the film 1, corresponding to a determined negative 25 and received by a connection 18 connected to a sensor 19;
- pulse for detecting a perforation 12 of the paper pulling strip 8, received by a connection 23 connected to another sensor 24;
- Logical or analog information for photographing the inscriptions carried on the negative, received by a connection 20 connected to the output of a reading camera 21; the camera 21 is placed above the film 1, so as to read, in cooperation with a light source 22, the inscriptions carried on the negative on the side of the one opposite the edge 6 carrying the half-moon notches 7; the film is preferably not stopped during the reading of these inscriptions.

Par ailleurs, l'unité logique 13 reçoît, par une connexion 32, une information logique représentative des indications concernant les vues encochées, mais non tirées (vues intirables).Furthermore, the logic unit 13 receives, via a connection 32, logic information representative of the indications concerning the notched views, but not drawn views (intirable views).

Cette même unité logique 13 émet, en réponse à ces signaux d'entrée et en temps voulus, les ordres suivants :
    - ordre de lecture à la caméra 21, transmis à cette dernière par la connexion 20 précitée,
    - ordre d'écriture, au dos 26 du tirage-papier 8 qui correspond au négatif 25, de l'inscription lue par la caméra 21 ; cet ordre est donné, par une connexion 27, à une tête d'écriture 28,
    - par une connexion 30 des ordres de synchronisation de vitesse au moteur 4,
    - par une connexion 31 des ordres de synchronisation de vitesse au moteur 10.This same logic unit 13 emits, in response to these input signals and in due time, the following orders:
- reading order to the camera 21, transmitted to the latter by the aforementioned connection 20,
- order of writing, on the back 26 of the paper print 8 which corresponds to the negative 25, of the inscription read by the camera 21; this order is given, by a connection 27, to a writing head 28,
by a connection 30 of the speed synchronization orders to the motor 4,
- by a connection 31 of the speed synchronization orders to the motor 10.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif représenté est le suivant :The operation of the device shown is as follows:

Les arbres des bobines 3 et 9 sont entraînés à vitesses constantes par les moteurs 4 et 10, la vitesse angulaire moyenne de la bobine 9 étant par exemple dans ce cas supérieure à celle de la bobine 3. La syn­chronisation de ces deux vitesses est effectuée par l'unité logique 13 en réponse aux informations tachymétriques qu'il reçoit par les connexions 14 et 17.The shafts of the coils 3 and 9 are driven at constant speeds by the motors 4 and 10, the average angular speed of the coil 9 being for example in this case greater than that of the coil 3. The synchronization of these two speeds is carried out by the logic unit 13 in response to the tachometric information it receives via the connections 14 and 17.

Le passage au niveau du détecteur 19 de l'encoche 7 du négatif 25 déclenche la commade d'une prise de vue par la caméra 21. Les informations correspondantes sont emmagasinées dans l'unité logique 13 et stockées.The passage at the level of the detector 19 of the notch 7 of the negative 25 triggers the process of shooting by the camera 21. The corresponding information is stored in the logic unit 13 and stored.

Au passage devant une perforation 12 de la bande de papier 8, la cellule 24 fournit à l'unité logique 13 un signal l'informant du début du passage, sous la tête d'écriture 28, du tirage-papier correspondant à la vue 25. Cette information permet à l'unité logique 13 d'envoyer les informations à imprimer à la tête d'impression 28. Cette tête 28 reproduit en conséquence, au dos 26 de la photographie, le numéro de la vue qui a été lu par la caméra 21, en y ajoutant éventuellement la date. Si l'écriture n'est pas terminée lorsqu'apparaît le top indiquant la fin du défilement de la photo 26 sous la tête d'écriture 28, l'ensemble est arrêté et l'installation est mise en dérangement, avec émission éven­tuelle d'une alarme sonore et/ou lumineuse. Dans le cas où le top mar­quant le début du passage de la photo 26 sous la tête d'écriture 28 n'a pas encore été émis, l'unité logique attend ce top et donne l'ordre d'écri­ture correspondant qu'après réception de celui-ci.When passing in front of a perforation 12 of the paper strip 8, the cell 24 supplies the logic unit 13 with a signal informing it of the start the passage, under the writing head 28, of the paper print corresponding to view 25. This information allows the logic unit 13 to send the information to be printed to the print head 28. This head 28 reproduced in Consequently, on the back 26 of the photograph, the number of the view which has been read by the camera 21, possibly adding the date. If the writing is not finished when the top appears indicating the end of the scrolling of the photo 26 under the writing head 28, the assembly is stopped and the installation is put in trouble, with possible emission of an audible and / or light alarm. In the case where the top marking the start of the passage of the photo 26 under the writing head 28 has not yet been sent, the logic unit waits for this top and gives the corresponding writing order only after reception of it.

L'invention n'est bien entendu pas limitée à cet exemple non limitatif de réalisation. L'installation qui vient d'être décrite peut très bien être totalement intégrée à une machine de tirage automatique de photographies. Dans un tel cas, les mesures tachymètriques ne sont pas effectuées par roues codeuses mais sont extraites tout simplement de tachymètriques nécessairement présentes dans cette machine de tirage. Au lieu de prévoir un défilement continû des bandes (1,8), ou peut aussi prévoir qu'elles s'arrêtent, ensemble ou séparémenet, au moment de la prise de vue par la caméra 21, et/ou au moment de l'écri­ture par la tête d'impression 28. Dans ce cas, l'encoche n'est pas utiliseé, mais l'ensemble des informations de synchronisation est prélevé sur la machine de tirage automatique.The invention is of course not limited to this nonlimiting exemplary embodiment. The installation which has just been described can very well be fully integrated into an automatic photographic printing machine. In such a case, the tachometric measurements are not carried out by coding wheels but are simply extracted from tachometers necessarily present in this drawing machine. Instead of providing for a continuous scrolling of the bands (1,8), or may also provide that they stop, together or separately, at the time of shooting by the camera 21, and / or at the time of the writing by the print head 28. In this case, the notch is not used, but all of the synchronization information is taken from the automatic printing machine.
