  • Cassette system having quick connect feature
    Patent number: 4674702
    Abstract: Film (13) in a film cassette (15) is connected to a take-up reel (19) in a film transport mechanism (11) by means of mating connectors (20,30) attached to leaders (27,29) on the cassette film (13) and on the take-up reel (19). The connectors (20,30) are retained in contoured slots (41,51) on the cassette (15) and on the film transport mechanism (19) so that when the cassette (15) is loaded onto the transport mechanism (19), the connectors (20,30) will be in alignment. By arranging the connectors (20,30) for connection and disconnection in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the film (13), an efficient connection can be effected and the connection remains stable during the operation of the film transport mechanism (11).
