Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention automatically supplies an instant film pack (hereinafter simply referred to as a film pack) to a photographing device, and automatically discharges the film pack when the use of the film pack is finished. Regarding the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when photographing a color still image on an image pickup device (for example, a CRT device) on a film,
The film pack needs to be loaded into the imaging device. When the film packs are loaded into the image pickup device, the film packs are manually inserted one by one into the film back of the image pickup device.

When taking the above-mentioned color still image,
This color still image is irradiated onto an instant film (hereinafter, simply referred to as a film) through a lens, whereby a color still image is captured. Then, in response to the trigger signal indicating the end of irradiation, the film feeding device is driven to discharge the filming-completed film from the film bag (for discharging the filming-completed film, for example,
Film is ejected after being pinched and pressed against a pair of rollers provided in the film back). As described above, by sandwiching and pressing the film having been photographed with the rollers, the developer in the film is activated, and a visible color image is obtained on the film.

If, for example, 10 films are stored in the film pack, the film in the film pack will become empty after the irradiation and discharge are repeated 10 times as described above. Then, the empty film pack is manually taken out from the film bag and discarded, and then a new film pack is loaded into the film bag.

[0005]

By the way, in general, in this type of film pack, the number of stored films per pack is very small, about 10 sheets. For this reason, in color printers that frequently use film, for example, printers for game machines, a video composite photograph is printed out by synthesizing a facial photograph of a game player and a game score. Personnel must be permanently stationed for exchange. In other words, it is generally difficult to keep personnel on-site to exchange film packs due to labor costs, etc., and as a result, it takes time from emptying a film pack to loading a new film pack. However, there is a problem in that the printer device cannot be used properly as needed. Considering that the film is used frequently, such a defect becomes a very serious defect.

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of automatically changing (supplying) and discharging a film pack.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the instant film pack is used for photographing by using an instant film pack containing a plurality of instant films, and a plurality of the instant film packs are stacked and stored. A stocker, a slide mechanism that slides the instant film pack in the uppermost layer of the plurality of instant film packs from the stocker as an instant film pack, and the supply instant from the standby position to the photographing state position from the standby instant film pack. A rotation discarding mechanism for rotating the film pack and rotating and discarding the supply instant film pack past the standby position to the discharge position when the supply instant film pack becomes empty. Stunt film pack automatic supply and discharge device is obtained.

[0008]

In the present invention, a plurality of instant film packs are stored in the stocker and the film pack in the uppermost layer is automatically supplied. Then, the supplied film pack is moved (rotated) to the photographing position and discarded when the pack becomes empty. Therefore, the film pack can be replaced (supplied) and discharged automatically.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described below with reference to examples.

An example of using a CRT device (hereinafter simply referred to as a CRT) as an image pickup device will be outlined with reference to FIG. In the illustrated apparatus, a lens 12 is arranged so as to face the screen of the CRT 11, and a film pack 13 is arranged behind the lens 12. The film pack 13 is arranged in a film back 14, and the film back 14 has a film pack holder 14a on which the film pack 13 is placed and a film pack holder for pressing the film pack 13 against the film pack holder 14a. 14
b, and a roller pair 14c for discharging the film.

When taking a still image of the CRT 11,
The still image on the CRT 11 is irradiated onto the lowermost film 13a in the film pack 13 from the irradiation opening formed on the film pack receiving base 14a via the lens 12.
After the irradiation is completed, the lowermost layer film is nipped and pressed by the roller pair 14c and discharged.

Here, the film drawing device provided in the film back will be further described with reference to FIG. 2 (note that the film drawing device shown in FIG. 2 is an example,
Various devices are already known as film drawing devices. That is, although the film drawing device itself is not directly related to the present invention, an example of the film drawing device will be described in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention). A control device (not shown) drives the motor 15 by a trigger signal indicating the end of irradiation. The gear train 1 is driven by the motor 15.

A film hooking portion 18a is formed at one end (right end in the figure) of the slider 18, and one end of the lowermost layer film 13a is hooked by this film hooking portion 18a, and the lowermost film is slid in accordance with the sliding of the slider 18. 13a is pulled out in the direction indicated by the solid arrow A.

On the other hand, a gear train 19 meshes with the gear train 16, and this gear train 19 meshes with a gear 14d attached to the rotary shaft of the roller pair 14c. Therefore, the rotation of the gear train 16 is transmitted to the roller pair 14c via the gear train 19 and the gear 14d. As a result, the lowermost layer film 13a pulled out in the direction of the solid arrow A as described above is pulled out while being nipped and pressed by the roller pair 14c. This results in a visible image on the film due to the developer in the film.

As described above, the slider 18 is the link 17
Since the slider 18 is connected to the gear train 16 via the arrow, when the slider 18 moves to the solid arrow A and reaches a predetermined position (film pull-out position), it is moved in the opposite direction by the rotation of the motor 15. .

The pulley 34, the rotary shaft 31, and the spring plate 37, which are interlocked with the timing belt 35, rotate relative to the film back as the film back unit 20 rotates counterclockwise. Further, the spring plate 37 also rotates counterclockwise relative to the film back at a speed faster than the rotation speed of the film back. In the state shown in FIG. 5, the spring plate 37 presses the film back cover 36, and the rotation of the motor 25 is stopped by the detection means of a sensor (not shown).

Immediately before the state shown in FIG. 5, that is, when the film back portion 20 approaches the end point of rotation, the leading end portion 36b of the film back lid 36 hits the protruding piece 5b of the pressing member and the protruding piece 5b moves downward. Receive power. The retainer 5 rotates about the shaft 4 from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 5, and the retainer 5 has a function of pressing the film back by the tension spring 6 as shown in FIG.

In this state, the film after being imaged in the film pack stored in the film bag is discharged from, for example, the discharge port 36a provided on the lid at the front end of the film back, as shown in FIG.
It is discharged to the outside by the mechanism shown in.

When the film in the film pack is emptied, the motor 25 rotates in the direction opposite to the above-mentioned direction, whereby the film back portion 20 rotates in the clockwise direction.

Referring to FIG. 10, the rotated film back unit 20 passes through the standby state and is rotated to the discharge point for discharging the empty film pack, and the film back unit 20 is rotated to the discharge point. When moving, a sensor (not shown)
The rotation of the motor 25 is stopped and the state of this is maintained. Here, the rubber roller 44a rotates downward due to the rotation of the film back against the force of the tension spring 48 applied between the frame 46 and the substrate 41, and the discharge state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained.

In this state (discharging state), the spring plate 37 for pressing the film back lid of the film back section 20 is shown in FIG.
In the state shown in Figure 3, the film back lid 36 is also open.

Next, when the motor 50 rotates in the opposite direction and the rubber roller 44a rotates clockwise, the rubber roller 4a is rotated.
The empty film pack, which is in contact with 4a through the hole 38 of the film back 22, is unwound from the film back 22, falls onto the discharge plate 103, and is discharged to the discharge port.
At this time, the wire rope 55 is rotated by the rotation of the motor 50.
Also moves, the slider 58 and the carrier 63 return to the rear (to the right in FIG. 10), and the slider 58 and the carrier 63 return to the state shown in FIG. On the other hand, the empty film back portion 20 is rotated by the rotation of the motor 25 to the standby position and stopped. The rubber roller 44a also follows the rotation of the film back portion 20 by the force of the tension spring 48, and maintains the state shown in the drawing.

Now, the operation of the film stocker section will be described.

When the slider 58 first moves forward (to the left in the figure), as shown in FIG.
A push-out portion 58a provided in a part of the rotary unit 8 rotates the rotary blow-out lever 75 of the film stocker 61 counterclockwise by a predetermined angle. This rotation causes the timing pulleys 75 and 91 and the timing belt 92 to rotate, and the hooking piece 93 fixed to the timing belt 92 moves upward by a predetermined amount (one film pack). Here, the film pack mounting table 72 is provided by the above-mentioned ratchet function.
Is stopped and held at a predetermined position, and the uppermost film pack is stopped and held at a supply position.

When the slider 58 and the carrier 63 move to the right by the rotation of the motor 50, the supply film pack 62 has already stopped at the supply position, but the carrier 63 rotates the rotation shaft 64 relative to the slider 58. Since it rotates about the center, the lower end of the carrier 63 moves in a state where the lower end of the carrier 63 contacts and feeds the supply film, and the carrier 63 returns to the state shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, when the slider moves forward, the rotation skip lever of the film stocker is pushed and rotated. However, when the slider moves backward, the rotation skip lever is operated. You may

In this way, with the film pack in the film stocker emptied (especially, although illustration is omitted, an empty state is detected by a suitable means such as a sensor), the door 65 on the back side of the film stocker is opened to open the film. When the tightening rod 81 under the pack mounting table is loosened, the timing belt 92 is released.
The hooking piece 93 fixedly attached to the slide plate 32 slides down with respect to the timing belt 92 together with the tightening piece 94 and the film pack mounting table 72, and the tightening rod 81 is tightened when it moves to the lowest end. Preparation is completed by stacking a predetermined amount of a new film pack on the film pack mounting table 72 moved to the lowermost end and closing the door.
