  • Patent number: 4166684
    Abstract: A removable film holder is provided for a photographic camera for taking three dimensional photographs in an arrangement wherein a lenticular screen is moved relative to photosensitive material during exposure. A pressure plate is mounted on a housing. Means is provided for moving the pressure plate inwardly and outwardly of the housing in directions substantially normal to the plane of the pressure plate. Means is provided for applying a uniform pressure to the pressure plate in such outward direction with respect to the housing. The pressure plate has a side for engagement with a stop affixed to the housing. Means is provided for urging the pressure plate in a direction substantially parallel with the pressure plate against the stop.

  • Patent number: 4125849
    Abstract: A photographic camera for three dimension photography. A housing has an opening to the interior for light rays. Photosensitive material is located in communication with the interior of the housing at a location during exposure time. Optics in the housing project light rays, which are received through the opening from a scene to be photographed, along an optical path to the location for the photosensitive material. The path has a first position therealong. The optics comprise a lenticular screen extending across the path at a a second position farther along the path from the first position and have, on one side, a plurality of elongated lenticular elements which face in the direction from which the light rays are being projected and have an opposite side facing in position for contact with the surface of the located photosensitive material.

  • Patent number: 4109261
    Abstract: A photographic camera for taking three dimensional photographs. A housing has an opening to the interior thereof for light rays. Means is provided for immovably locating the photosensitive material in communication with the interior of the housing at a location during the time for exposure. Optical means in the housing projects the light rays, which are received through the opening from a scene to be photographed, along an optical path to the location for the photosensitive material. The path has a first position therealong extending transversely to the direction of the path from a first side to a second side of the path.

  • Patent number: 4109262
    Abstract: A photographic camera for three dimensional photography. A housing has an opening to the interior for light rays. The photosensitive material is immovably located in communication with the interior of the housing at a location during exposure time. An optical system in the housing projects light rays, which are received through the opening from a scene to be photographed, along an optical path to the location, and the path has a first position therealong. The optical system comprises a lenticular screen extending across the path at a second position farther along the path from the first position and has, on one side, a plurality of elongated lenticular elements which face in the direction from which the light rays are being projected and have an opposite side facing in position for contact with the surface of the located photosensitive material. Light rays are blocked at the first position.

  • Patent number: 4107712
    Abstract: A photographic camera for three dimensional photography. The photosensitive material is positioned at a fixed location during the exposure cycle of the camera. Optics projects the light from a scene to be photographed along an optical path onto the located photosensitive material. A lenticular screen is positioned in the optical path and adjacent the location for photosensitive material. The path of light from the scene is blocked and an optical aperture is passed across the optical path for sequentially exposing the photosensitive material through the lenticular screen to the light rays from the scene. A lenticular screen is moved a predetermined distance along a path transverse to the path of the light simultaneously with the movement of the optical aperture. The arrangement for moving the lenticular screen comprises means for guiding the screen along said predetermined path and a pivoted member, a connection between the pivoted member, at a position displaced from the pivot thereof, and the screen.
