1. Apparatus for masking the edge regions of an area comprising:
- at least one continuous belt having a width corresponding to the width of the area;
a pair of rotatable rollers positioned at opposite sides of the area respectively for supporting said belt adjacent the area;
said belt having spaced opaque sections of predetermined length and transparent sections connecting said opaque sections;
said rollers being movable to move portions of said opaque sections into alignment with opposite edge regions of the area to mask the opposite edge regions.

Abstract
A masking system for masking the viewing area of a radiograph light box comprises a pair of spaced, endless belts disposed in substantially perpendicular relationship. Each of the belts has spaced opaque regions and spaced transparent regions connecting the opaque regions. The belts are supported on rollers and are movable to selectively position portions of the opaque regions into alignment with the edge regions of the image support.

3. Apparatus for masking a plate for supporting an image recorded on a medium comprising:
-
a pair of spaced endless belts disposed adjacent said plate in substantially perpendicular relationship, each of said belts having spaced opaque regions and spaced transparent regions connecting said opaque regions; roller means for supporting said belts and for positioning said belts to selectively align said transparent regions with said plate and for positioning said belts to align portions of said opaque regions with the peripheral regions of the plate to thereby mask the plate.

4. A light box for illuminating negatives or transparencies differing in size, said box comprising:
-
a housing a diffuser plate mounted on said housing; a light source for illuminating said housing; a pair of endless belts positioned in said housing between said diffuser plate and said light source in substantially perpendicular relationship;
each of said belts having spaced opaque regions and spaced transparent regions connecting said opaque regions;roller means for supporting said belts; means for rotating said roller means to move said opaque portions into alignment with the edge regions of said diffuser plate to reduce the illuminated area of the diffuser plate. - View Dependent Claims (5)
