Definitions

  • the purpose of this invention is to avoid this waste. in cutting the raw film.
  • the automatic film cutter is a device to be adapted on printing machines, the purpose of which is to avoid waste of raw film by cutting same automatically, immediately after the last picture has been printed.
  • the feed wheel B" is driven by a driving arrangement not shown, which not being a part of our invention, will not be described.
  • C- represents the negative film which is provided near its end with a mutilation.
  • the film-C see Fig. 1, is provided not'far fromits end with an in dentation c in the side thereof.
  • This indentation a should be so located towards the end of the negative film that when the positive film is cut, as will be hereinafter described, the ends of the two films will be practically coincident, after-the printing operation.
  • This cam G will rock the lever K, lifting the rod K" and with it the collar is.
  • This collar will engage the block m and will lift the arm M, releasing the hook M from engagement with the short arm n of the pivoted cutting blade N. This will release the cutting. blade, and under the action of the' spring 0 it will swing quickly to the shearing position, thus severing the positive films as it is stretched between the toothed wheels B and B
  • the two films will now be drawn together through the printing apparatus and a new negative film may be threaded into the machine, and the raw or unused remnant of the old positive film may be threaded and fed to the machine as before.
  • a cinema film printing apparatus the combination with means for feeding the positive and negative films, of means for cutting the positive film, comprising'a shears having a fixed blade and a spring operated swinging blade, means for normally holding said swinging blade in the open position, means for passing the positive film between the blades of'said shears, an electric circuit and means controlled thereby for releasing said swinging blade, and a circuit closer providediwith a roller adapted to engage a -a clutchniember, a stub notch in the side of the negative film for automatically closing said electric circuit, and thereby releasing said swinging blade. 12.
  • means for cutting the positive film comprising a spring operated shears, a latch normally holding said shears in the open position, means for passing the positive film between the blades of said shears, an electric circuit, a solenoid, a driving shaft carrying shaft carrying a cam and a. second clutch member, a lever engaging said cam, means controlled by said lever for lifting said latch, means controlled by said solenoid for connecting saidclutch members, and a circuit closer controlled by the negative film for automatically closing said electric circuit and energizing said solenoid.
