DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the structure of a slide magazine for storing a large number of slide films in a horizontal position.

FIGS. 1(A) and 1(B) are a plan view and a side view of the slide magazine of the present invention, in which a U-shape of the same shape is formed between a hexagonal top plate 1 and a bottom plate 2 arranged in parallel. Bent guides 3 are attached to face each side of the rectangular shape, and the top plate 1 and bottom plate 2 are fixed by these eight guides 3. In each space of the guide 3, a rectangular parallelepiped frame lO is provided so that it can be lowered, penetrating the top plate l and the bottom plate 2, and the frame lO is partitioned into multiple stages by horizontal partition plates 11. A storage chamber 12 is formed between adjacent partition plates, and one slide film (mount film) 13 is stored horizontally on each partition plate 11. Further, a stopper 4 is connected to a spring (not shown) at the bottom of the frame 10 to prevent the frame 10 from freely descending, and a handle 5 is provided to make it convenient to carry the slide magazine. It is attached to the upper part of the upper plate 1.

By the way, with this invented slide magazine.

The take-out position for taking out the slide film 13 from the slide magazine and transporting it to a printer, etc. is shown at A as shown in Fig. 4.
The take-out mechanism 20 takes out the stored slide films 13 one by one from the bottom from the frame body 10 located at the A position, and moves the taken-out slide films +3A sequentially in the P direction to the printer. It is designed to be transported to After all the slide films 13 stored in the frame lO at the A position are taken out by the take-out mechanism 20, the slide magazine is rotated 456 times in the N direction by a separate drive mechanism, so that it is at the 1A position. The frame body moves to position B, and the frame body located at position C becomes the take-out position A. In this state y6, the frame body 10 at position B is pushed up in the L direction by a push-up mechanism to be described later,
It is set to return to its original position. That is, the slide films 13 stored in all the frames of the slide magazine are taken out one by one by the slide magazine frame 10 being moved downward from the lowest storage chamber by the take-out mechanism 20 at position A. After all the slide films in the frame are taken out (in this state, the frame IO has been lowered to the lower limit position), the slide magazine is rotated by 45 degrees in the N direction by the rotating mechanism. The frame at position A, which has become empty due to the movement, reaches the 8th position 1δ, and at this position B, is pushed up to the original upper limit position by the push-up mechanism.

To explain the operation of taking out a slide film from this slide magazine with reference to the state diagrams shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the slide magazine is attached to a predetermined position of a printer, etc. When the slide magazine is mounted in a predetermined position, a microswitch 6 as a mounting detector shown in FIG. 5 is activated. As a result, the solenoid 7 disposed in contact with the plunger 4 of the installed slide magazine is actuated, and the plunger 7 is extended, so that the stopper 4 is moved from below the frame 10. When removed, the frame 10 falls downward due to its own weight. As a result of this fall, the rack I5 engraved on the back side of the frame 10, as shown in FIG. 6, just engages with the pinion 30 fixedly disposed below it. This pinion 30 is connected to a solenoid 31 and this solenoid 31
One end is attached to the plunger, and it is rotated by a pawl 32 that rotates about a shaft 33 as a fulcrum.

Also, behind the frame 10, there is a frame lO at position A in FIG.
A take-out mechanism 20 is provided for pushing out the slide films 13 in the storage chamber outward one by one. This take-out mechanism 20 includes a rotary lenoid 21 and a take-out body 2 that is moved in the P direction by the operation of the rotary lenoid 21.
2, the distal end of the ejecting body 22 is fed out into the storage chamber of the frame lO through the ejection hole 3A provided in the guide 3, and the rear end of the slide film I3 stored in the storage chamber is Hit me. As a result, the slide film 13 placed on the partition plate ll in the storage chamber 12 is
direction, and is transported to a printer or the like by a transport mechanism (not shown).

When the slide film 13 in the lowermost storage chamber 12 is taken out by the operation of the take-out mechanism 20, the solenoid 31 is actuated by a control device, etc., and the mechanism is released when the pinion (not shown) rotates. When the pinion 30 is rotated by a predetermined angle by the rotation of the pinion 32, the rack 15 engaged therewith is paid out downward. As a result, the frame 10 falls downward by one storage chamber and stops. Thereafter, by operating the take-out mechanism 20 in the same manner as described above, the slide film X3 stored in the storage chamber at that position is taken out. Do the same below.
The 1L film 10 is sequentially dropped downward one storage chamber at a time, and all the slide films 13 in the storage chambers are taken out. in this way,
When all the slide films in the storage chamber are taken out by the take-out mechanism 20, the frame 10 is in the lowest position as shown in FIG. In this case, since the protrusion 14 provided on a part of the side surface 1 of the frame body 10 is stopped on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2,
The frame body 10 will not fall to the lower blade any more than in the state shown in FIG. Furthermore, since a pinion rotation prevention mechanism (not shown) is provided, the frame 10 will not fall due to its own weight when the engine 31 does not operate.

When all the slide films in the frame body 10 have been taken out at position A in this way, the pulse motor 34 is operated by the control device, and the gear 35 attached to the drive shaft of the pulse motor 34 and the Gear 36 to match
, the end of the actuating rod 37 pushes the push plate 38 attached to the bottom plate 2, and the entire slide magazine is
The frame lO, which was at the A position, reaches the B position by being rotated by 45° in the direction. In this way, when all the slide films have been taken out and the empty frame reaches position B, the control device activates the push-up mechanism as shown in FIG. 7 to raise the frame 10 and return it to its original state. to be restored.

That is, the push-up mechanism has a motor 40 that is rotated by a control device, and a gear 41 that is rotated in the M direction by the rotation of this motor 40, and a sprocket 42 is attached to the rotation axis of this gear 41. Fixed. Another sprocket 43 is provided above along the frame lO.

A chain 44 is wound between the wheels 42 and 43 as a transmission means. Further, a pusher 1 45 is attached to the right side of the chain 44 at a position where it comes into contact with the lower surface of the frame 1O that has fallen to the upper limit position, and the pusher 1 45 is attached to the lower side of the frame
0 can be placed on the push-up table 45. Therefore, when the empty frame lO is rotated to position B, it is in a state as shown in FIG. There is. From this state, the control device rotates the gear 41 in the M direction by rotationally driving the motor 40, and moves the chain 44 wound around the sprockets 42 and 43 in the M direction. As a result, the push-up table 45 attached to the chain 44 rises as the motor 40 rotates. When the frame 10 is pushed upward in this way at position B,
When the pump 4 is released from the solenoid 7 and positioned below the frame 10 by the action of the spring, the empty frame 10 is brought into the state shown in FIG. Furthermore, if a leaf spring or the like is provided in the slide film storage chamber 12 to press the slide film, it is possible to prevent the slide film from jumping out from the storage chamber 12 when carrying the magazine.

According to the slide magazine of the present invention as described in 1- below,
It is possible to store a large number of slide films at liquid level, and to take them out quickly and reliably.In addition, the compact structure makes it easy to transport. It also has the advantage of improving slide film retention.

In the embodiment described in -, the number of frames provided between the -L plate and the bottom plate is eight, but this number can be arbitrary, and the shapes of the top plate and the bottom plate can also be made arbitrary. In addition, although the lowering of the frame body is performed by the engagement action of a rack and pinion, it is possible to use a chain or belt as an engagement means.
The frame may be lowered using a motor or the like as a drive source. Furthermore, when a rack is used, the rack can be mounted at any position on the frame, and the slide film take-out mechanism can also be performed by a motor or the like instead of a rotary lens.
