Definitions

  • Such a control may, for example, be ensured by driving and/or braking the band in the proximity of the stop unsymmetrically with respect to the longitudinal direction.
  • a couple is exerted on the band in its plane with the result that the band tends to deviate laterally inthe manner set out above.
  • the stop can practically only be used where the path of the band is curved, for example where it passes over a cylindrical driving or guide roller.
  • the stop has an adequate, artificial rigidity only in situ, to prevent the band from curling at its edge. Where the'path of the band is straight it isnot advisable to use such a stop.
  • the object of the invention is to procure means which enable to arrange stops also along the straight parts of the band, which the band engages of its own accord during the transport without curling of the edge in that area.
  • the stop in the device according to the invention constitutes the bottom of a guttershaped member, the edge of the band passing between the side walls thereof.
  • the gutter walls in a lateral direction rigidly with respect to the stop, since a resilient arrangement, for example, entails the risk that the edge of the band is jammed during its travel and is consequently damaged in the space between the stop and the resilient side walls.
  • the rigid fastening may, for example, be obtained by making the gutter-shaped member in one piece. It is, however, preferable to construct the member from separate plates which are clamped together. This has the advantage that the stop can easily be given a definite curvature in a longitudinal direction of the film, which is desirable to avoid the diificulty that, in the case Hartford National Bank and Conn, as trustee 1946, Serial No.
  • the gutter walls may be so constructed as to embrace the band throughout its width. This is, however, not necessary if other means are available for this purpose, for example, when using the device according to the invention for cinematographic films at the picture gate, where the conventional resilient construction of the picture gate keeps the band sufficiently flat. In this case it sufiices that the film part is embraced which extends from the edge to the picture strip which yields the additional advantage that no trouble is experienced from the stop during exposure or reproduction. In the case of a 16 mm. small film it is, for example, suiiicient if a strip having a width of 1.5 mm. is gripped.
  • One of the gutter walls may, as an alternative, be longer than the other, for example when it forms part of the fixed wall of the picture gate. If the side of the other, shorter wall facing the film be rounded at its edge, the film can readily be introduced into the guide member.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show diagrammatically how a moving band can be guided to ensure that it engages, of its own accord and with one of its sides, a fixed stop during its travel.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the device according to the invention such as can be used for guiding a pictorial film, for example of regenerated cellulose, having a width of 16 mm. and a thickness of 40 microns.
  • a pictorial film for example of regenerated cellulose, having a width of 16 mm. and a thickness of 40 microns.
  • the reference numeral i desighates the unperforated film band which passes over a smooth roller
  • this roller is a loose guide roller which follows the movement of the film.
  • the stop is represented by a fiat plate and consequently does not pertain to the device according to the invention.
  • the film 5 is provided with a row of pictures 1.
  • the film engages a stop 8 which is rounded in the direction of length of the film and constitutes, according to the invention, the bottom of a gutter-shaped member, whose sidewalls are formed by plates 9 and 55 which, similarly to the stop 8, are preferably made from a wear-resisting material, e. g. spring steel.
  • a wear-resisting material e. g. spring steel.
  • the sidewalls are rigidly fastened to the stop 6 and are spaced apart by a distance slightly exceeding twice the thickness of the film so that any joints can readily pass the gutter.
  • the sidewalls When film parts without joints are passing the film will move through the gutter with some amount of play. This is, however, not objectionable because this play is small with respect to the part of the film width which is adjoined by the gutter walls and since by the rigid clamping together of the sidewalls and the stop there is no risk of the edge of the film being jammed between the sidewalls and the stop, as a result of the said play.
  • the sidewall 59 forms part of the picture gate i2 comprising the aperture it through which the projection light beam falls on the film. That side of the shorter gutter wall, which faces the film, is rounded at its end i l to facilitate the introduction of the film:
  • a device for guiding a thin band moving along in a fiat plane which comprises a driving means for said band, a fixed stop means adjacent one edge of the moving band, said stop means having a channel-shaped portion formed by side portions extending over the side of the band and a bottom surface rigidly secured to said side portions and adapted to be engaged by the aforesaid edge of the band, and brake means for applying a braking action to the band to produce a force urging the band against said bottom surface, said braking means being located between the center line of the film and the edge opposite to that adjacent to which the stop means are located, said brake means also being displaced from said stop means along the longitudinal axis of the band and on the side of the stop means remote from the driving means.
