  • Patent number: 5110201
    Abstract: Film transport device with a film transport sprocket driven by a drive motor whose teeth engage the holes in a motion picture film with play and transport the latter stepwise one frame at a time and final-position it at a film gate. The film transport steps are subdivided into a transport phase (t.sub.T) and a position-adjusting phase (t.sub.R) in which the film is final-positioned accurately. The transport phase (t.sub.T) is divided into a very short acceleration phase (t.sub.1, t.sub.2) in which a high torque setting (M.sub.S1) is set with a steep acceleration rise (t.sub.1), and a long continuous drive and braking phase (t.sub.3, t.sub.4), whose time constant is a multiple of the acceleration phase (t.sub.1, t.sub.2). This ensures minimum transport noise and film-protective transport.

  • Patent number: 5106185
    Abstract: Control and regulating device for film transport in a film projector, with winding plates (62, 72) located on both sides of a film gate (8) and drivable by a single motor (61, 71), and with supply and takeup devices (3, 4) likewise disposed between the winding plates (62, 72) and film gate (8), the devices being drivable by at least one drive motor (51) to produce film loops on both side of the film gate (8) and with a transport device (2) between the supply and takeup devices (3 and 4). The drive motors (21; 51; 61, 71) for the winding plates (62 and 72), supply and takeup devices (3 and 4), and film transport device (2) are connected with sensors (25; 55; 65, 75) to detect the rpm and/or rotational direction, so that when a presettable rpm is exceeded or when one of the drive motors (21; 51; 61, 71) rotates in a rotational direction counter to the rotational direction predetermined by a higher-order operating control, all drive motors (21; 51; 61, 71) are braked simultaneously.
