Abstract: Device (15) to frame photographic films (18) which is suitable to divide the photographic films (18) into single photographs (19) and to insert and position the photographs (19) between two half-frames (12) forming frames (12) to hold photographs (19) and is fitted to framing machines (10), which comprise storage containers (11) to feed empty frames (12), conveyors (13-14) to convey empty frames (12) and storage bins (21) to receive the finished slide consisting of a frame (12) holding a photograph (18), the empty frames (12) arriving at the device (15) in a direction at a right angle to the direction of feed of the photographic films (18) in the device (15), which comprises in reciprocal cooperation:at least two drawing units (22) to draw the photographic film (18), each unit consisting of a powered roller (23) equipped with drawing needles (24) and an opposed roller (25) provided with a groove (26), the opposed roller (25) being movable vertically in relation to the powered roller (23),a first knife (30) wi

Abstract: Method to frame photographic films (21) which are fed to a framing station (17) in which the films (21) are divided into single photographs (22) which are inserted into empty frames (12), which arrive at the framing station (17) on a second conveyor (20) that passes in a direction at a right angle to the direction of feed of the photographic films (21), the empty frames (12) being fed to the framing station (17) as they are withdrawn from storage containers (13), the frames containing the photographs (23) being required to include written imprinted messages (19-119) before being suitably stored in final bins, the written messages (19-119) being imprinted on the empty frames (12) while the latter (12) pass along a first conveyor (15) that connects the storage containers (13) to the second conveyor (20), the first conveyor (15) passing in a direction at a right angle to the direction of feed of the second conveyor ( 20).
