Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying photosensitive photographic films from cartridges according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is e.g. B. is known from DE-PS 41 26 579, where a single insertion option for film cartridges is provided with films to be wound into the developing device.
  • a single insertion option for film cartridges is provided with films to be wound into the developing device.
  • DE-OS 43 11 483 which has a magazine for such film cartridges with a corresponding introduction aid which discloses films in the developing device.
  • this device is extremely complex, since there is a fixed predetermined number of supply stations which are successively transferred to a processing station. If film cartridges cannot now be inserted continuously into the supply stations, gaps occur which mean lost processing time or complicated arrangements are required to avoid them. Furthermore, this device determines the order of the films from the time of insertion into the storage cassette for several films; preferential treatment of urgent films is not possible.
  • EP 242 817 A1 shows a magazine for receiving a number of leader cards, to each of which two film beginnings protruding from cartridges are attached.
  • the leader cards can be fed one after the other to a film developing device which pulls the films hanging on the leader cards out of the cartridges and through the treatment baths.
  • a film developing device which pulls the films hanging on the leader cards out of the cartridges and through the treatment baths.
  • one pair of films is processed one after the other until the magazine is empty. Only then can it be opened and refilled, so that seamless operation is only possible to a limited extent. It is also not possible with this magazine to insert a film that must be processed quickly into the magazine if the processing of the films in it has already started.
  • the invention has for its object to design a film conveyor of the type described above so that the operator has enough time to insert the next film without development capacity remains unused and thus a very high cost is required.
  • Fig. 1, 1 denotes a light-tight housing on the inlet side of a continuous film developing device which, for example according to the teaching of DE-OS 41 26 579, is combined directly with a device for copying photographic films onto copy paper and a downstream developing device to form a structural unit can be.
  • the invention can be used in the same way if it is a self-employed or a single person Film processor 7 is.
  • This itself is not shown in detail; it can have a conventional structure with racks for rollers and side guides.
  • the side guides can be processed with only one film width, e.g. B. the format 135, be incorporated directly into the side panels of the rack boards.
  • a particularly favorable embodiment for processing different film widths is made possible, however, if the leading edges of the films to be developed are attached to so-called leader cards, the side guides in the film processor being adapted to the width of the leader cards.
  • the described invention can be used in the same way for both embodiments of development devices.
  • Fig. 1 The embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is equipped for the use of leader cards 10 on the leading edge of the films.
  • the housing 1 has a shape on the insertion side for the film cartridges, which enables the accommodation of two unwinding chambers 2 and 3. There is an opening below the horizontal section at the upper end of the housing 1, which opening can be closed by a cover 1b. Below this is the unwinding chamber 3, which has a cartridge receptacle 3a for film cartridges 9 along a vertically downward path, the passage opening of a separating knife 3b and a conveying device 3c being arranged below the pull-out mouth of the cartridge; the latter consists of a driven roller and a counter pressure roller.
  • the drive roller can e.g. B. connected to a stepper motor which is controlled by a control device to be described.
  • the separating knife 3b can e.g. B. for the film tension on the cartridge holder 3a can be controlled by a sensor so that it triggers the cutting process when tightening the film at the end of the film.
  • a sensor for the film end 5 is arranged, which is designed as an infrared light barrier.
  • a control device 8 - e.g. B. a microprocessor - receives the signals from the film sensors 4 and 5. Furthermore, it receives pulses from the stepper motors in the conveyors 2c and 3c, so that the transport routes covered by the conveyors in the control device 8 are known after certain events.
  • the control device 8 now alternately activates six different elements together in groups according to FIG. 2: starting from the movement state according to FIG. 1 in the unwinding chamber 2, the flap 2d for the unwinding opening is open, the flap 1a at the access opening to the unwinding chamber 2 locked and the transport device 2c activated.
  • the magnets or control devices 2c, 2d and 1a are switched over. This closes the flap 2d, stops the conveyor 2c, and releases the lock for the flap 1a. Exactly the opposite, that is, alternately, the locking of the flap 1b, the conveyor 3c and the outlet-side flap 3d of the unwinding chamber 3 are activated when the corresponding units of the unwinding chamber 2 are de-energized.
  • the conveyor 3c de-energized and the flap 3d closed.
  • the operator can open the flap 1b and insert a cartridge 9 with a leader card 10 attached to the beginning of the film by inserting this card into the transport rollers of the conveyor 3c into the unwinding chamber and close the flap 1b.
  • the contact 8a is de-energized and the contact 8b is energized. This unlocks the flap 1a, stops the transport 2c and closes the flap 2d. At the same time, the flap 1b is locked, the transport 3c is activated and the flap 3d is opened.
  • the leader card 10 standing in the unwinding chamber 3 is thereby guided past the film sensor 5 down through the transport rollers until it reaches the same path in the area of the soft-like merging 6 as the preceding film from the unwinding chamber 2.
  • the controller 8 can ensure that the just minimal distance between the end of the preceding film and the next leader card 10 is observed.
  • the flap 1a is unlocked by the switching operations and the operator is prompted by the green light display to remove the empty cartridge 9 and to insert a new cartridge with a leader card, so that after the end of the film to be removed from the unwinding chamber 3, the switching operation in in the opposite direction and consequently the next film can be updated immediately.
