Description
y 1930. E. T. TURNEY 84 FILM PACK AND HOLDER Filed Dec. 11, 1928 Svwentoz Patented May 13, 1930 EUGENE T. TURNEY, OF HOLMES, NEW YORK FILM PACK AND HOLDER Application filed December 11, 1928.
The invention aims to provide a pack and holder which is better adapted to stand rough usage and to maintain its original light-tight condition than the common style of pack and holder.
The accompanying drawings illustrate an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the camera with the pack holder in halfway position;
Fig. 2 is aperspective showing the inner face of the pack holder and the insertion of a pack;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the end of the pack.
The camera 1, of any suitable design, is used with a film pack holder 2 removably hinged at its left edge and adapted to cover an opening 3 at the rear end of the camera. It has on its free edge a pin 4 adapted to be engaged and pressed forward by a hand lever 5 to shut the holder the hand lever catching at its lower end under a latch 6. On the forward face of the holder is a strip of felt 'T. The rear of the holder is closed by a metal plate 8. The holder consists chiefly of this metal plate and a wooden frame having sides 1 and ends 10 which form a recess to receive a lilm pack 11. This pack consists of a paper package of a certain number of films con1- bined with black paper in strips which can be successively manipulated to bring the film against the open face 12 of the pack. The pack is introduced into the holder, pushing the tabs 13 which form the ends of the film strips through a slot 9 at the back of an end portion 10 of the holder. lVhen the pack is pushed entirely into the recess of the holder, it rests therein with the open face 12 forward and the tabs projecting outof the end as in Figs. 1 and 3.
The present improvement is directed to the construction of the holder and particularly the slot therein; being applicable to various other designs of camera holder and pack than those illustrated. The back 8 of the holder is Serial No. 325,263.
a smooth light plate of aluminum or other metal not easily corrodible. At the free end it has a lip l-l overlying the end member 10 of the frame. Facing the lip 14 is a plate 15 of similar metal mounted on the part 10. Bem tween the parts 14% and 15 is the slot through which the strip is pulled. The part 1% is bent outward and inward to form a re- The part is bent to form a hump or ridge l6 entering the recess 14. Thus there is formed a slot which is bent in the direction of withdrawal of the strips. The cross section of Fig. 3 is continued throughout the length of the slot.
he bend in the slot is sufiicient to prevent the passage of li ht even where the strips are withdrawn carelessly and, as sometimes happens, are creased or badly torn off. This sharp edge of the metal plate 14 provides a convenient cutter along which the strips may be accurately torn. The metal faces of the slot provide smooth surfaces for the passage of the paper. They also maintain their shape in use much better than the velvet and similarly facet. slots of some holders.
The invention may be applied to various other types of film carriers or holders, in which t rm 1: include packs themselves that are designed to permit manipulation of the films in a. manner similar to that described in connection with the holder illustrated.
Various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention as defined in the following claims.
I claim 1. A film holder for cameras having a slot for the projecting ends of the film strips, one wall of said slot being formed with a recess and the other wall with a hump registering with said recess so that the slot is bent first in one direction and then in the reverse direction so as to prevent the passage of light.
2. A film holder for cameras having a slot for the projecting ends of the film strips, said til slot being formed between opposite faces of metal Which bear on the faces of the strips and form smooth guides therefor and which are bent in the direction of Withdrawal so as to prevent by their shape the passage 01 light.
3. A film holder for cameras having an end piece, a back plate having a lip overlying the back of said end piece With a space through which the ends of the film strips project, said space being bent in the direction of With= drawal of the strips so as to prevent by its shape the passage of light.
In Witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
EUGENE TURNEY.
