Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a film supply magazine for feeding film after exposure to a developing device.

[Background technology]

la The exposed film is stored in a cartridge, and must be pulled out from the cartridge and sent to the developing device.

For this reason, conventionally, one end of the film protrudes from the tip of the cartridge, a leader is attached to this tip, the leader is sent into the developing device, the leader pulls the film into the developing device, and the developing device performs development while being guided. is used.

In addition, by storing a large number of cartridge-containing films with this leader attached in a magazine, making the leader protrude from the magazine at a fixed corner, and connecting this magazine to the developing device, the leader guides the films one by one to the developing device. An automatic feeding device has also been proposed (patent application 1986-
No. 90382). According to this, it becomes possible to automatically supply films by simply storing a large number of films in a magazine and setting them in a developing device.

For this reason, the leader sent out from the magazine engages with a driving protrusion within the developing device and is drawn into the developing device.

However, when a magazine containing a large number of cartridges is horizontally attached to the developing device, the installation space for the entire developing device becomes large, so the magazine may be connected to the developing device in an inclined state. In this case,
Since it is used interchangeably with manual insertion to feed the leader horizontally, it is necessary for the leader sent out from the magazine to change its feeding direction and be bent before being drawn in horizontally. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a special device to reliably pull the leader inserted obliquely into the developing device horizontally.

In consideration of the above-mentioned facts, the present invention has been developed so that even when the leader is inserted diagonally into the developing device, the film can be fed into the developing device as reliably as when the leader is inserted horizontally. The objective is to obtain a supply magazine.

[Summary and operation of the invention]

The present invention provides a film supply magazine for accommodating a film having a thin leader attached to its tip and for supplying the film to a developing device by guiding the film to a developing device, the support being capable of supporting the leader in a bent state. It is characterized by having a surface.

Therefore, in the present invention, when the leader is obliquely inserted into the developing device and comes into contact with the driving part in the developing device, the leader is supported in a bent state by the support surface, so that the leader does not move inside the developing device.
+A part of the drive FJ1 direction will be in the state, and it will be smoothly drawn out to the drive part.

The support surface that can support the leader in a bent state may be a support surface that forcibly bends the leader when the leader is accommodated in the magazine, or when compressive force is applied in the longitudinal direction of the leader. The supporting surface may be such that the leader is bent only when the leader is bent. In this case, the first leader bends and separates from the next leader in the thickness direction, so even if the edges of the engagement openings formed in the leaders are deformed so that they fit into each other, the next leader may be inadvertently bent. No tensile force is applied to the leader.

Such a support surface can be formed by forming four parts on a mounting surface provided within the magazine body for mounting the reader. Therefore, although the reader placement surface has a simple structure, it can also have the role of reliably guiding the reader.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the reader 10 used in this embodiment is attached to the tip of the film 14 protruding from the cartridge 12. The base end of the film 14 is locked to the core 12A in the cartridge 12. The leader 10 is made of a thin sheet material such as synthetic resin, and has a plurality of openings 16 formed along its longitudinal direction.

The film 14 and the leader lO are bonded using adhesive tape 2.
0 is used. Further, on the other end of the leader 10, a narrow strip of identification cotton 22 is applied as an identification mark over the entire width direction.

FIG. 4 shows a magazine 24 in which the reader 10 and film 14 are accommodated. This magazine 24 is box-shaped, and has a hinge 24A at the upper end of the magazine body 25.
When the cover 26, which can be opened and closed via the film opening 26, is closed, the interior becomes light-shielded except for the film supply port 24B.

Inside the magazine body 25, there is a pair of vertical walls 2 at the center in the width direction.
8.30 is formed along the longitudinal direction. The top surfaces of these vertical walls 28, 30 are reader placement surfaces, and spaces between them and the magazine main body side walls 25A, 25B are storage spaces for the cartridges 12, respectively.

The vertical wall 28.30 is the film supply port 2 of the magazine body 25.
A fourth portion 32 whose height is temporarily reduced is formed near 4B and constitutes a support surface of the leader 10. That is, since the leader 10 is made of a flexible thin material such as synthetic resin and maintains a flat state in a free state, a recess 32 is formed even when it is placed on a vertical wall 28, 30. However, it remains flat. However, when compressive force is applied in the longitudinal direction, it is elastically bent and bent along the concave portion 32, and the vicinity of the tip can be directed diagonally upward compared to the free state.

A gear (sprocket wheel) 34 is pivotally supported between the vertical walls 28 and 30 as shown in FIG. It matches.

In addition, the other part of the inner circumference of this endless conveyor belt 36 has a vertical wall 28.
．． 30 and the magazine rear wall 25C
8 is engaged. This gear 38 is a rotating shaft 40
Both ends of the rotating shaft 40 are pivotally supported by the magazine body 25 via brackets 42 and 44.

Therefore, the endless conveyor belt 36 is in a parallel state between the gears 34 and 38, and the engagement protrusions 36B protruding from the outer periphery at regular intervals protrude from the top surfaces of the side walls 25A and 25B, and the vertical wall 2
8.30 is adapted to engage the opening 16 of the plate 10.

A plurality of retaining protrusions 36B protruding toward the outer periphery of the endless conveyor belt 36 are inserted into the opening 16 formed in the leader 10 to drive the leader IO.

An L-shaped engagement protrusion 46 projects upward from the vertical wall 28, 30, into which the film attachment end of the leader 10 can be inserted. In terms of these engagement protrusions 46,
The reader 10 is attached and positioned.

Therefore, the ends of the plurality of leaders 10 are connected to the engaging protrusions 4, respectively.
6 and when the opening 16 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 36 [3], the reader IO is placed on the vertical wall 28, 30 at regular intervals, and the identification line 22 at the tip is exposed at regular intervals.
A worker can accurately detect the state in which the reader 10 is attached.

The toma 26 has a pair of ribs 26A, 26 at the center in the width direction.
B are formed parallel to each other along the longitudinal direction. These ribs 2 (IA, 2613) are arranged so as to face the upper ends of the vertical walls 28 and 30, respectively, in a state in which the toma 26 is closed to the magazine body 25, and the vicinity of the tip of the retaining protrusion 36B is accommodated therein. For this reason, when the lid 26 is closed to the magazine body 25, the leader 10 is arranged so that it will not accidentally come off the retaining protrusion 36B.

These ribs 26A, 26B may be provided with protrusions that enter into the recesses 32 of the standing walls 28.3O, so that the leader 10 can be bent with the lids 26 closed.

The gear 34 disposed within the vertical wall 28.30 is journaled via a sleeve 52 to a pin 54, as shown in FIG. 7, and this pin 54 is journalled to the vertical wall 28.30.

A pinion 58 is pivotally supported on the outer periphery of the sleeve 52 via a one-way clutch 56. The one-way clutch 56 is configured to transmit only the clockwise rotation of the pinion 58 in FIG. 6.7 as the clockwise rotation of the sleeve 52 and gear 34. A rack 62 is engaged with this pinion 58 and is guided so as to be linearly movable between the vertical walls 28,30. This rack 62 is connected at one end to a rod 64, and the rod 64 is guided so as to be linearly movable by passing through a guide block 66 attached to the magazine body 25. The tip of the rod 64 is exposed from the film supply port 24B of the magazine body 25, and when pushed into the magazine body 25, the rack 62 rotates the pinion 58 clockwise in FIG. 6.7, causing the gear 34 to rotate. Muend 1 through? The feed heald 36 is moved by the necessary feeding length of the leader 10. As a result, the leading end of the leader 10 is sent to the developing device 68.

Since the rod 64 is biased by the biasing force of the compression coil spring 70 in the direction of protruding toward the film supply port 2413 of the magazine body 25, when the pressing force on the rod 64 is released, the rack 62 returns to its original position. However, one-way clutch 5
6, the gear 34 will not rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 6.7.

On the other hand, the rotation shaft 40 of the gear 38 around which the other part of the endless conveyor belt 36 is wound and supported is rotated by a constant angle by moderation means.

That is, the rotating shaft 40 between the gear 38 and the bracket 44
A block 72 is fixed to the. This block 72
Recesses 72A are formed at three locations on the outer periphery of the recess 72A, into which the RZ-rough 4 is inserted. This roller 74 is pivotally supported by the magazine body 25 via a bracket 76 and is attached to the tip of the arm 78.
A tension coil spring 80 is interposed between the vertical wall 30 and the vertical wall 30. Therefore, when the endless conveyance heald 36 is rotated by the required feed length of the leader 10, the roller 74 enters into the recess 72A and rotates the endless conveyance belt 36. It is designed to stop.

In order to ensure this stopped state, a stopper pin 82 corresponds to the gear 34 as shown in the seventh section. That is, this stopper pin 82 protrudes from the rack 62 and enters between the tips of the gear teeth 34. However, this stopper pin 82 causes the rack 62 to move leftward in FIG.
When the gear 34 receives a rotational force through the rack 62 and the one-way clutch 56, it moves together with the rack 62 and projects out of the rotation locus of the gear 34, allowing the gear 34 to rotate.

Therefore, the gear 34 is rotated by the required angle.
When the gear 2 returns, it is inserted again into the rotation locus of the gear 34, that is, between the tips of the teeth, and the rotation of the gear 34 is stopped.

As a result, when multiple sheets of gluer 0 come into close contact with each other and the leader 10 at the tip receives a tensile force and is sent to the developing device, the next leader IO receives this tensile force due to frictional force and is transported endlessly. Even if a force is generated that causes the belt 36 to rotate inadvertently, the endless conveyor belt 36 will not move because its rotation is reliably prevented.

Incidentally, the magazine bodies 25, m26 have small diameter portions 25E, 26B in the vicinity of their tip portions via step portions 25D, 26A, and form the developing portion rl! , 68. In addition, a pair of protrusions 25F and 25G each having a planar semicircular shape protrude from the inner walls of the side walls 258 and 25B of the magazine body 25, and a space between these protrusions and the vertical walls 28 and 30 serves as a guide space for the cartridge 12. It has become.

Between the pair of protrusions 25F, a moat stone 84 is attached to keep the M2C closed to the magazine body 25. Further, an adsorption member 86 is attached to the M2C in correspondence with the magnet 84.

The magazine body 25 has side walls 25Δ, 25 near its tip.
Guide protrusions 88.90 are formed at the upper end of the inner circumference of B, and the protruding ribs 26 of the shell 26 are inserted into these guide protrusions 88.90.
C is accommodated so that the inside of the magazine body 25 is in a light-shielded state.

As shown in FIG. 1, a supply section 1106 is disposed in the developing device 68 via a main body 102 and a pin +04.

The supply neck 106 is configured to cover a supply section 110 for delivering the film 14 sent out from the magazine 24 to the developing section 108 of the developing device 68.

The supply part m106 has a cylindrical part 112 as a magazine connection part.
protrudes obliquely upward and accommodates the small diameter portions 25E and 26B of the magazine body 25. Therefore, when the small diameter portions 25E and 2.6B are inserted into the cylindrical portion 112, the lid 26 will not open.

The supply section 110 is provided with a locking means 114 to prevent the magazine 24 from being pulled out or the supply section neck 106 from being opened inadvertently when a developing operation is started with the magazine 24 inserted. ing.

In other words, the pin 116 connects the cylindrical portion 112 to the arm! The middle part of 18 is pivotally supported. This arm 118 has a tip hook portion 1
18A corresponds to the opening 25If formed near the tip of the magazine main body 25, and constitutes a magazine extraction prevention means, which is biased away from the opening 25[I by its own weight.

However, the end of this arm 118 opposite to the hook portion 118A corresponds to an arm 120, and the hook portion 118A engages with the opening 25H upon receiving a driving force from the arm 120. This arm 120 is fixed to one end of an arm 122, and the middle part of the arm 122 is connected to the pin 1.
It is pivoted to the main body lO2 at 24. A hook portion 122A is formed near the end of the arm 122 to which the arm 120 is attached, and corresponds to the hook 106A that is projected inside the supply portion 1106 by the biasing force of the compression coil spring 125, forming a lid opening prevention means. are doing.

Further, the end of the arm 122 opposite to the hook portion 122A is pivotally supported by a plunger 128 of a solenoid 126. The solenoid 126 receives driving force from a control circuit 130 of the developing device 68. This control circuit 13
0 energizes the solenoid 126 when development is started, rotates the arm 122 against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 125, engages the hook portion 122A with the hook 106A, and connects the arm 118 via the arm 120. Rotate the
The hook portion 118A is adapted to engage with the opening 25H. Therefore, during the developing operation, the supply section lid lO6 will not be opened inadvertently, and the magazine 24 will not be inadvertently pulled out from the cylindrical portion 112.

Adjacent to these locking means 114 are drive means 142 for actuating the rods 64 of the magazine 24. As shown in FIG. 9, this driving means 142 includes a driving rod 144 which is guided by a cylinder 143 and is slidable in the axial direction, and whose tip end corresponds to the tip end of the rod 64. A roller 146 corresponds to the other end.

This roller 146 is pivotally supported by the tip of a crank arm 148, and the base end of the crank arm 152 is fixed to a rotary shaft 150 which is pivotally supported to the main body 102. It is fixed. The crank arm 152 has a roller 154 pivotally supported at its tip, and is in contact with the outer periphery of an eccentric cam 156. A fixed shaft 158 of eccentric cam 156 is attached to the output shaft of motor 160.

This motor 160 is controlled by the control circuit 130, and when rotating, the eccentric cam 156 rotates the crank arm 152 around the axis of the rotating shaft 150, thereby causing the drive rod 144 to rotate through the crank arm 148 and the roller 14G.
, the rod 6 is pushed up by the drive rod 144.
4 is pushed into the magazine 24, the leader lO is pushed out from the magazine 24, and the tip end is connected to the driving endless belt 162.
It is designed to engage with the

This driving endless bell) 162 is wound around a pair of gears 164 and 166 in the supply section 110, and a protrusion 162 protruding from the inner circumference similarly to the endless conveyor belt 36 in the magazine 24 meshes with the gears 164 and 166. ing. In addition, a protrusion 162B formed on the outer periphery of the endless drive belt 162
is the opening 16 of the leader 10 that is fed out from the magazine 24.
The leader 10 is sent out to the developing section 108 by engaging with the developer. For this reason, the driving endless belt 162 is a leader that is sent out from the magazine 24! It is arranged at a position corresponding to the tip of 0.

As shown in FIG. 2, feeding rubber rollers 170 and 172 are attached to the central shaft 168 of the gear 166, and are used to feed the film 14 connected to the leader 10. This feed rubber roller 170, 172 has a supply section [1
A pressure roller 174 attached to the film 106 is brought into contact with the film 14, thereby ensuring that the film 14 is sent to the developing section 108. These feeding rubber rollers 170.
A film sensor 176 is provided between 172 and the developing section 108.
is installed to detect the trailing edge of the film and send the signal to the control circuit 130.

A guide plate 178 is arranged in the upper part of the gear 164 to ensure that the leader 10 engages with the protrusion 162B of the endless drive bell l-162 and to ensure that the film 14 is fed to the rubber rollers 170, 172. ing.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, cartridge support plates 180 are arranged on both sides of the gear 164, respectively. When the leader 10 is sent to the developing section 108 by the endless driving belt 162, these cartridge supporting plates 180 are attached to the leader! It supports the cartridge 12 connected to O through the film 14, and allows only the film 14 to be drawn out from inside the cartridge 12 to the developing section 10B.

Further, these cartridge support plates 180 are movable in one direction in contact with the developing section 108 by guide means (not shown), and are normally pressed in a direction away from the developing section 108 by the biasing force of an elastic body. However, when all of the film 14 in the cartridge 12 is pulled out, the tension acting on the film 14 is received through the winding core 12A, allowing access to the developing section +08. This approaching state is detected by a limit switch (not shown), and the signal is sent to the control circuit 1.
It is now sent to 30.

When this film end state is detected, the control circuit 13
A cutter 186 driven by 0 is disposed between the cartridge support plate 180 and the developing section 108. This cutter 18G has an upper blade 188 and a lower blade 190 that are attached to the film 14.
The lower blade 190 is raised by a drive means such as a solenoid (not shown), and cuts the film 14 by sandwiching it between the lower blade 190 and the upper blade 188.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A plurality of leaders 10 connected to the film 14 with adhesive tape 20 are prepared in advance, and these are attached to the magazine 2 at regular intervals.
Install it inside 4. In this case, the reader 10 only has to bring its film connecting ends into contact with the engagement protrusion 46 sequentially from the frontmost part, and as a result, the identification lines 22 are arranged at regular intervals, so that two sheets of the reader 10 can be arranged one on top of the other. , if they are installed at different intervals, this can be quickly detected and corrected. If the distance between the engagement protrusion 46 and the top surface of the vertical wall 28.30 is set to a size that allows only one reader 10 to fit therein, it is possible to reliably prevent two readers IO from stacking up.

With the M26 closed to the magazine body 25, the magazine 24 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 112 with its small diameter portions 25E and 26B.

Here, when a development start button (not shown) is operated, the development work begins. When the developing operation is started, the control circuit 130
operates the solenoid 126, so the hook portion 122A,
118A are hooks 106A of the supply unit lid 106, respectively;
It engages with the opening 25■ of the magazine body 25 and closes the supply section lid 1.
06 and extraction of the magazine 24 are prevented.

Therefore, the magazine 24 will not be inadvertently pulled out during the developing operation, or the supply section cover 106 will not be opened and the film being developed will not be exposed to light.

Meanwhile, the control circuit 130 drives the motor 160, causing the eccentric cam 156 to rotate. For this reason, the crank arm 152.
148 rotates and drive rod 144 forces rod 64 into magazine 24 . This rotational force is transmitted to the rack 62, and the pin 54 fixed to the rack 62 protrudes from between the tooth tips of the pinion 58, causing the pinion 58 to rotate.

By this rotation of the pinion 5, the BC feeding heald 36 rotates, and the leader 10 is pushed out from the tip of the magazine 24 by the retaining protrusion 36B.

As a result, the leading end of the leader 10 comes into contact with the drive endless belt 162 within the supply section 110. In this case, the drive endless belt 162 is rotated at the same speed as the film transport speed in the developing section 108, so its rotation speed is relatively low, and compared to this, the feed speed of the leader 10 is relatively high. Therefore, the leader 10 is bent as shown in FIG. 1 under the compressive force. This bent leader 10 is tangential to the recess 32 of the vertical wall 28, 30, so that the leader 10
is bent along the traveling direction of the endless conveyor belt 162 in a state where it is susceptible to the rotational force by the driving endless heald 162, and the rotation of the driving endless belt 162 ensures that the protrusion 162B engages with the opening 16 of the leader lO. Then, the leader 10 is pulled out to the developing section 108.

Furthermore, since the bent leader lO separates from the next succeeding leader 10 in the thickness direction, even if the engagement opening 16 is deformed and enters the opening of the next leader, it will be separated and the next leader will be inadvertently is not subjected to tensile force.

The dimensional relationship is such that when the leader 10 engages with the drive endless heald 162, the engagement with the engagement protrusion 36B is released.

When the leader 10 is pulled out to the developing section 108, the film 14 and cartridge 12 connected thereto are also pulled out from the magazine 24 and reach the supply section 110. However, the cartridge 12 that has reached the supply section 110 comes into contact with the cartridge support plate 180, and its movement to the developing section 108 is stopped. Therefore, the film 14 pulled by the reader IO is taken out from the cartridge 12 and placed in the developing section 10.
8, and development work is performed.

When the entire amount of film 14 is pulled out from the cartridge 12, the film 14 connected to the end of the core 12A pulls the cartridge 12 to the developing section 10 through the core 12Δ, so that the cartridge support plate 180 is pulled out. Developing section 10
Move in 8 directions.

This activates the cutter 186 and cuts the end of the film 14. At the same time, the cartridge 12 whose tensile force has been released falls within the supply section 110 and is discharged.

The end of the cut film 14 is the film sensor 176
, the control circuit 130 again drives the motor 160 to raise the drive rod 144 and push the rod 64 upward. Therefore, the next gluer 10 is projected into the supply section 110 and the developing operation is performed in the same manner as the previous one.

Next, a plurality of cartridges 1 housed in the magazine 24
A case will be described in which, while 2 is being continuously developed, it becomes necessary to intervene and develop a separate urgently processed film first. In this case, the operator operates the interrupt development operation button.

In this case, unlike continuous development, when the end of the film being developed is detected by the film sensor 176 during the operation, the motor 160 is deactivated.

In this state, the plunger 128 is de-energized, allowing the magazine 24 to be extracted and the supply section lid 106 to be opened.

For this purpose, the operator opens the supply section 1106 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1 centering on the pin 104, and manually drives the leader 10 with the film set in the state shown in FIG.
2, and the cartridge 12 is connected to the cartridge support plate 1.
The supply section M106 is closed again while in contact with the supply section M106.

As a result, the plunger 128 is energized again, the opening of the supply section MIO6 and the extraction of the magazine 24 are prevented, and the developing operation is started. Thereafter, when the development of the manually supplied film 14 is completed, the film in the magazine 24, which had been interrupted until then, is again sent to the supply section 110.

Further, when the work is interrupted in this way to develop separate films, if there are a large number of such films, these urgently processed films are stored in a separate magazine, and this magazine is already connected to the tube section 112. By replacing the magazine 24 and supplying the magazine 24, the same interruption development work as in the case where the supply section 1i106i is opened is performed, and when the development work of these urgently processed films has been completed, the film that had been interrupted is stored again. The magazine 24 is attached to the cylindrical portion 11.
All you have to do is set it to 2.

When the developing operation of the film in the magazine 24 is interrupted in this way, the operation button for the interrupt developing operation is pressed and after the film being developed is fed out to the end of the developing device 68. In this case, the next leader in the magazine is not sent to the supply section 110 and an interrupt development operation is performed, so that the unprocessed film in the magazine 24 whose development has been interrupted is not exposed inadvertently.

When all the films in the magazine 24 have been developed, the solenoid 126 is de-energized and the locking means 114 is released, so the operator pulls out the magazine 24 and inserts the magazine 24 loaded with new films into the cylindrical section. 11
Just attach it to 2. Note that the supply neck 106 may be provided with a manually releasable latch mechanism to prevent accidental opening.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention is a film supply magazine for accommodating a film having a thin leader attached to the tip thereof, and for supplying the film to a developing device while being guided by the leader.
