description

The invention relates to a camera with a film developing part (processor camera), in which the photographing, the actual Developing that combines fixing, washing and drying in a single system.

It is preferably used in a processor camera in which a film in a processor part is independent of one Photograph part is continuously processed.

In conventional processor cameras, a long roll film is used and the exposure of one part of the film and the further processing of another part of the exposed film take place at the same time. In the receiving part, the roll film is gradually advanced and sometimes stopped for a long time. On the other hand, the exposed film must be transported in the processor part at a constant speed in order to obtain uniformly developed images.

In a conventional processor camera there is between the receiving part and the processor part formed a memory loop to account for the difference in the film advance speed balance between the receiving part and the processor part. Nevertheless, the film must also be cut off with this arrangement if the movie is paused long enough to completely use up the loop. Otherwise would the development of the exposed film is uneven. This is disadvantageous because the film will be cut off in the middle must, even if one would like to photograph a series of information on the length of a film.

If a combined developing and fixing bath is used in the processor part, the film advance speed can in the processor part can be varied, provided the film is not completely stopped. So in a

Processor camera described in Japanese Patent Publication 47 (1972) -19072, the film transport speed in the processor part is slowed down when the size of the film loop becomes smaller than a predetermined one Size to compensate for a long standstill of the film in the receiving part. But even with such an arrangement the stopping time of the film advance in the receiving part cannot be very long because the film in the processor part is not can be shut down completely.

The invention aims to provide an improved processor camera to create in the long idle times of the film in the receiving part are allowed without affecting the quality of the achieved Images is affected.

Furthermore, the invention aims to provide a process camera camera, in which a series of information can be recorded on the length of a film without having to cut through the film.

To achieve this, an exposed part of a roll film is stored in a storage chamber in the processor camera according to the invention, which is provided between the receiving part and the processor part and is not transported to the processor part until all of the information that is recorded on a length of film wants, is completely photographed. When the recording of a series of information is finished, the film is cut off at a point near the rear end of its exposed part. Then the separated exposed film part, which is stored in the storage chamber, is transported to the processor part at a constant speed »

Thus, in the processor camera of the present invention, photography can be interrupted for a long time without deteriorating the quality of the images produced.

In addition, in the processor camera according to the invention, a

Information series can be recorded on a film length, even if during the recording of this information group photography is interrupted for a long time. It is usually not necessary to search for the developed film afterwards. Finally, the developed images can be conveniently observed one after the other in a reader because the images exposed to a length of film are developed under the same conditions.

A preferred inventive idea lies in a processor camera in which a roll film in a recording part is pictorially is exposed and the exposed part of the film is further processed in a processor part. Between the receiving part and the processor part is provided with a storage chamber to store the exposed film piece until it is in the processor part is brought. Until all of the information that is to be recorded on a length of film is photographed the film is stored in the storage chamber. When the recording of a series of information is finished, the film is cut by a cutter at a point closest to the tail end of the exposed part is cut through, and then the separated exposed part is cut at a uniform speed transported into the processor part. The storage chamber is equipped with a pinch roller for advancing the film in the processor part. A sensor for sensing the leading end of the one arriving from the storage chamber and film transported by the pinch roller is provided which stops the pinch roller when it hits the leading one End perceives. The capstan is activated to advance the film when the cutter cuts the film.

Further features, details and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment based on the attached drawing. The single figure therein shows a processor camera according to the invention.

As in the single pig. shown, has an inventive Processor camera has a recording part 1 for recording various types of information on a Hollfilm F, furthermore a storage part 2 for storing an exposed part of the roll film F and a processor part 4 for further processing of the exposed part of the film F. A film cutter 3 is between the receiving part 1 and the storage part 2 arranged.

In the receiving part 1 is wound around a supply reel FS Film F unwound from the spool with the aid of a capstan roller 6 and through with an original (not shown) a lens 8 and a mirror 7 exposed.

An exposed part of the film F is attached to the receiving part 1 next to the outlet 1a de3 by means of two drive rollers 9 » are transported to the storage part 2.

The storage part 2 comprises a storage chimney 13 with a opening 13a. In the transport direction after the opening 13a two driving rollers 10 arranged. Furthermore, a sensor 11 is between the drive rollers 10 and the processor part 4 the leading end attached, the leading end End of the 3 film F perceives. The drive rollers 10 are driven by a drive 12.

The exposed part of the film F is transported from the drive rollers 9 to the storage part 2 and through the drive rollers advanced until the leading end of the film reaches the sensor 11. When the sensor 11 is the leading end of the film F senses, the pinch rollers 10 are stopped and the leading end of the film F is consequently no longer transported. Accordingly, when the film F is further advanced to the storage part 2 while further recordings are made the central part of the film F is driven from the opening 13 & into the storage chamber 13 and forms

therein a loop 14 and is stored there until the drive rollers 10 are set in motion again. The storage chamber is dimensioned so that it takes a fairly long film, e.g. about 3 to 5 meters.

When the exposure of a series of information to be recorded on a length of film is finished, the film cutter 3 operates and cuts the film F at a point next to the rear end of the exposed film part by. Upon actuation of the film cutter 3, the drive 12 drives the drive rollers 10 to the separated to transport exposed film part to processor part 4. The exposed part of the film can move at a constant speed are moved by the processor part 4, regardless of the transport speed in the receiving part 1, because he is from Remainder of the film F is separated. The drive rollers 10 are stopped when the leading or cut The end of the remainder of the roll film F reaches the sensor 11.

The film processed further in the processor part 4 is received in a trough 5.
