Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data recording device suitable for application to a camera that records necessary data along with an image on a lume image.

Cameras are generally used to record information, but sometimes it becomes necessary to record not only the information but also data associated with the information to be recorded. For example, academic photographs, civil engineering, and Jianqin field photographs. Medical photographs of X-rays, microscopes, endoscopes, etc., large numbers of photographs of the same or similar objects, etc., are too many to list, but from the perspective of photography as a record, this is only natural. Furthermore, to neutralize the demands that have developed further, a camera that has the function of imprinting data related to the person, such as date of birth, height, weight, etc., on the photosensitive film surface when taking pictures with Eirin. be.

In response to such requirements, various methods have been proposed and are being implemented. For example, imprinting data on X-ray photographs is one example, and even smaller cameras can imprint the set date on the film along with Eirin, and have built-in clock dials and digital hour hand displays. It is used to record the shooting date and time along with the image, such as when imprinting the image.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to:
A data recording device is provided which is configured so that the data can be easily set to 1 [5] and the data correction operation can be easily incorporated into the limited space of the camera, especially the small lid camera. It is about providing.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to one illustrated embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example in which a data recording device 4 is provided integrally with a camera device 24, and in order to facilitate understanding of the data recording device according to the present invention shown in FIG. 3, this example will be explained first. I will explain about it. This camera device 24 includes a photographing lens 10° finder peephole 12. Shutter speed setting dial 14. Film advance lever 16° Shutter release button 18. Film rewind knob 20. A synchronization contact 22 and the like are provided. The data recording device 4 is integrated with the camera so as to form the back cover of the camera device 24.

Further, the data recording device 4 is connected to the sink a contact point 22 through a signal line 38, which is connected to the camera device 24.
When the shutter release is performed on the side, the data recording device 4
This is provided to obtain a control signal for bringing the data imprinting device built into the machine into an imprinting operation state.

Here, the data recording device built into the data recording device 4 will be explained.

This data imprinting device is constructed as shown in the perspective view of FIG.
is a sprocket hole for film feeding provided in the roll film 86, 90 is the roll film 86,
To hold the camera in focus, the film pressure bonding plate 92 is provided on the back cover of the camera, and 92 is composed of an integrated control circuit for data imprinting, as well as a numeric display consisting of 7 segment elements of figure 8-shaped light emitting diodes. 2 on the top surface of the element 94.
Six data imprinting control structures are arranged; 96' is an imprinting window provided in the film crimper 1190 in order to imprint data from the back side of the film 80; 98 is a number on the data imprinting control structure 92; 1 display element 94
In order to print it in two parts, one for 2 digits and one for 14 digits,
#i'yt, plate 100, which blocks light between the two, is an image that is projected from the back side of the film 86 onto the light-sensitive material surface through the reflection prism 102 corresponding to 12 digits of the number display element 94 and the projection window 96. The reference numeral 104 designates an imprinting lens for the 14 digits of the numerical display element 94, which is similarly applied to the surface of the film 80 from the back side of the film 80 through the reflecting prism 102 and the imprinting window section 96. It is. With such a configuration, the film 86
The human image to be photographed above is exposed from the direction of the arrow 114 through the photographing lens 10 of the camera device 24, and the data to be photographed together with the human image are recorded at the same time as the human image is photographed. The segments of the display element 94 are recorded in the data recording device 4 of FIG.
By emitting light for a time selected by the exposure time setting dial 84, the obtained data is guided in the direction of the arrow 116 through the recording lenses 100, 104 and the reflective prism 102, and is directed to the back side of the film 86. A film 86 is formed together with the human image by exposing it to light.
imprinted on top.

Further, to explain the configuration of the data recording device 4, 4.0 is a display panel for monitoring data imprinted on the film surface by the data imprinting device, and has 8-shaped, 7-segment cold cathode characters. 26-character display depending on the display tube or light-emitting diode character display element, etc., 7 of the shooting serial number
Digit number display section, 6-digit number display section for date of birth, 9 digital switches for setting semi-fixed data that do not require changing the 4-digit name code, dial 58 for data setting. It consists of (Incidentally, the data set by the digital switch 56 is displayed on the display panel 40 and is also imprinted on the film surface by the data imprinting device at the time of Eirin exposure.)
Numeral keys 64 are used to set data, and after selecting the function key 66 for setting the shooting serial number, press the key 6.
By selecting 4 in sequence, the counting start number of the shooting serial number is set and displayed on the shooting serial number display section on the display panel 40! After selecting the function key 68 for setting the date of birth, by sequentially selecting the keys 64, the date of birth data is set and displayed on the date of birth display section on the display panel 40, After selecting the function key 70 for setting the person's name code, by sequentially selecting the keys 64, the person's name code is set and displayed on the person's name code display section on the display panel 40. After selecting the key 72, by sequentially selecting the keys 64, height data is set and displayed on the height display section on the display panel 40. Note that each of the function keys 66, 68, 70, and 72 also has a function as a clear key, and before inputting and setting each data by selecting the key 64, it is necessary to select the required function key. The previously input data will be cleared and new input will be possible. In addition,
Reference numeral 74 denotes a blank key, which is pressed when inputting and setting each data by selecting the key 64 to leave a space between numbers. Further, 76 is a clear key which clears all data other than the data set by the digital switch 56.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a data recording device to which the present invention is applied. In this embodiment, the first
By adopting a module structure in which the control section and data imprinting section shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are integrated on one or two substrates, it is possible to significantly downsize the data recording device.

As is clear from the above configuration, according to the present invention, the data operation section, control section, and imprint section are integrally modularized, so that the data recording device can be mounted on a limited space such as the back cover of a camera. Can be easily integrated into your space. Furthermore, according to the present invention, a module including a digital display section for imprinting and a monitor display section for displaying the same display as that displayed by the display section is housed in the camera, and the monitor display can be observed from outside the camera. Since it is opaque and the imprint display is imprinted directly onto the photographic film surface, it is easy to check and modify the imprinted data, and also know in what form the data will be imprinted. be able to.
