Abstract: A film transport apparatus (3) for sheet film is provided on the rear side of a cassette loading/unloading unit and a processing unit (2) positioned next to the latter. Film transport apparatus (3) comprises a transport table which can be moved back and forth on a horizontal plane and which transports a sheet film ejected through output opening (1b) of said loading/unloading unit into an input opening (2b) of processing unit (2). Transport table (8) is guided in vertical direction in such a manner (14) that its end (17, 20) facing input and output openings (1b; 2b), respectively, can be raised and lowered into the transport plane of said input and output openings (1b; 2b). A guideway (14) controlling the vertical movement of said transport table can be adjusted selectively into different positions of inclination and/or height in order to be able to adapt the transport plane of transport table (8) to vertical height differences between output opening (1b) and input opening (2b).

Abstract: A sheet-film cassette (1) comprises a lower portion (2) and a lid (3) hinged to said lower portion by means of a hinge (4). Hinge (4) consists of a flexible material and has a ledge-shaped profile with a thinner portion of the material forming a pivot zone (4e). Holding elements (4a, 4b and 4f, 4h respectively) which extend on either side of said pivot zone (4i) across the total length of the hinge are arranged for mounting the lower portion (2, 2f) and the lid (3, 3c) respectively. In order that a uniform pressure be exerted on the film, additional support means (4d, 4f) are molded to hinge (4), said support means being brought into positive engagement when cassette (1) is closed and stabilizing the total area of the hinge. For this purpose a ledge (4f) associated with the lower portion (2) is molded to hinge (4), which ledge extends across the whole length of the hinge into the interior of the cassette.

Abstract: Container for a stack of sheets such as photographic film or paper, which is readily adaptable to a wide variety of formats by inserting plug-in elements into recesses in the bottom alone or in both the bottom and the cover of the container.

Abstract: A viewfinder of the inverted Galilean type, for use with a photographic camera having a pair of interchangeable objective lenses, comprising a viewfinder lens, an eyepiece having two reticles formed thereon, a fixed mirror frame and a movable mirror frame. The fixed mirror produces a projected virtual image of one reticle. Structure is provided for positioning the movable mirror to produce a projected virtual image of the second reticle in response to interchange of the objective lenses.
