Automatic rewinding device for film in camera
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automatic rewinding device for film in a camera comprising:
- (a) transporting means for moving film in response to the driving force of an electric motor;
(b) timer means having a released state and a reset state for producing a first signal a predetermined time after having been released from the reset state;
(c) changeover means for receiving said first signal to change over a film winding operation of said transporting means to a film rewinding operation;
(d) detecting means for detecting film movement during film winding by said transporting means and for producing a second signal for resetting said timer means in response to movement of the film;
(e) reset means for producing a third signal for resetting said timer means when one cycle of film winding operation for one frame is completed; and
(f) latch means for latching the first signal of said timer means, said latch means producing a fourth signal for actuating said timer means to be reset as the first signal is latched.

Abstract
When a detector detects that a motorized transport arrangement is winding film, or when a resetting arrangement detects that a full frame has been wound, a reset signal resets a timer. When the detector arrangement senses that the transport is not moving the film and the film has not been wound a full frame, a release signal actuates the timer which generates a switching signal. A switchover facility responds to the switching signal to cause the transport to stop winding and start rewinding.

5. An automatic rewinding device for a camera, comprising:
-
(a) transporting means for transporting film by the driving force of an electric motor; (b) changeover means for changing over a winding operation of said transporting means to a rewinding operation; (c) timer means having a reset state and a released state for actuating said changeover means a predetermined time after it is released from the reset state; (d) detection means for detecting the winding movement of the film and bringing said timer means into the reset state by movement of the film; (e) reset means for bringing the timer means into a reset state when each frame of said film is wound up; and (f) switch means changeable between a first state and a second state, said switch being held in the first state when said film is at a position where the film winding by the transporting means is impossible so as to nullify the operation of said timer. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
