At least the upper surface of the platen 7a facing the movie film 6 is formed in a ray-absorbing or non-reflecting way.

Abstract: A motion picture camera and cassette system is provided having at least one motion picture camera and several film cassettes containing an exposed and/or unexposed motion picture film. The film cassettes contain a storage device which stores at least the length of the exposed and/or unexposed motion picture film. The motion picture cameras have a device for exchanging data with the storage device of the film cassettes and sensing the exposed length of motion picture film. Changes in the exposed film length are transmitted by the data exchange device of the film camera to the storage device of the film cassettes.

Abstract: A lighting device comprises a discharge lamp (7) which is connected to a ballast and starting device (1) either directly or via an electric cable (4). Alternatively said discharge lamp (7) can be mechanically and electrically coupled to an external starting device (5) and electrically connected to the ballast and starting device (1) via a connecting cable (4).

Abstract: For changing a lamp in a lamphead, in particular a stage, studio, film and/or television lamphead, a cover component of the lamphead is opened by swivelling the cover component about a swivel axis. The swivel axis runs along a straight line which cuts the cover component in two points positioned at a distance apart from one another. In the case of a circular cover component, the two points are a secant of the cover component. The swivel axis preferably thereby runs near to the middle or even centrally or diametrically through the middle of the cover component. Preferably the straight line defining the swivel axis is vertical. The cover component does not have to be swivelled far to the side, upwards or downwards, but instead is swivelled partially into the case, whereby particularly in the case of limited space availability this leads to simplified handling of the lamphead, e.g. when the lamp is changed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a foil-bag producing and packing apparatus comprising at least two feed means for feeding foil material, a connecting means for connecting the foil material fed, the connecting portions—in a direction transverse to the feed direction—extending over the foil width, a cutting means for cutting the connected foil bags along the connecting portions, and a storing device which directly after the cutting process stores the foil bags substantially in the direction of movement of the cutting edge and stacks the same in a receiving means. Moreover, the invention comprises a corresponding method for producing and packing foil bags.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying foil material, the apparatus comprising a motor-driven supply roll, a withdrawal means and a consumption sensor provided between the supply roll and the withdrawal means for controlling the drive of the supply roll in response to the consumption of foil material, and at least one stationary deflection roller, at least one sensor roller and a sensor means, the sensor roller being supported and arranged such that it changes the distance from the stationary deflection roller in response to the difference between supply capacity and withdrawal capacity of the foil material, and the sensor means senses said change in distance and accelerates the supply roll when the distance is smaller than a first predetermined distance, and slows down the supply roll when a second predetermined distance is exceeded. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding method for supplying foil material.
