Patent number: 4941620Abstract: Apparatus for convoluting exposed and copied photographic films on the cores of takeup reels has an advancing mechanism which transports successive films along a given path so that the leaders of successive films can be engaged by the gripper of a pivotable arm serving to transfer the leader of the film in the path toward the peripheral surface of the core of an empty takeup reel. The reel has no flanges or is provided with a single flange carrying or adjacent a fixedly mounted or movable protuberance which defines with the peripheral surface of the core a gap for the leader of the film. Once the leader has entered the gap and the takeup reel is set in rotary motion, the film is wound onto the protuberance and is thus affixed to the core. The length of the protuberance is less than the axial length of the core but exceeds one-fourth of such axial length.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1989Date of Patent: July 17, 1990Assignee: Agfa-Gevaert AktiengesellschaftInventors: Herbert Wilsch, Leonhard Huber, Helmut Treiber, Peter Lermann, Erich Nagel

Patent number: 4919354Abstract: A photographic copying machine wherein the images of successive frames on a long roll of spliced-together exposed and developed customer films are copied while successive films are advanced stepwise from a supply reel on a first driven mandrel toward and is convoluted on a takeup reel on a second driven mandrel. The copying machine employs a third mandrel which can support a fresh roll in the plane of the roll on the first mandrel, and a fourth mandrel which can support an empty takeup reel in the plane of the rotating takeup reel. The leader of the fresh roll is located adjacent the film path ahead of the copying station and is automatically advanced into the range of an automatic attaching mechanism when the trailing end of the expiring roll has advanced beyond the copying station. The attaching mechanism secures the leader of the fresh roll to the core of the empty takeup reel, and the machine is then ready to make copies of frames forming part of the fresh roll.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1988Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: Agfa-Gevaert AktiengesellschaftInventors: Leonhard Huber, Erich Nagel, Bernd Payrhammer, Peter Lermann, Helmut Treiber, Herbert Wilsch

Patent number: 4368960Abstract: A camera has a film transport device for gradually advancing a one-edge perforated light sensitive film over a picture gate with a support face, and a device for illuminating a mark on the film and including an opening which is formed in the support face at a side of a not perforated edge of the film and forms first edges on the support face and a second edge which faces toward a picture gate and lies deeper than the first edges.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1981Date of Patent: January 18, 1983Assignee: Agfa-Gevaert AGInventors: Herbert Wilsch, Johann Zanner

Patent number: 4171895Abstract: A photographic apparatus wherein the objective is movable by a focusing mechanism in response to manual rotation of a ring from a starting position. A spring biases the ring to the starting position through the medium of a follower which carries a blocking lever for the focusing mechanism. The blocking lever is moved from the path of a reciprocable spring-biased toothed rack of the focusing mechanism prior to unlocking of the rack by a lever which is disengaged from the rack during that stage of movement of the ring from its starting position which follows retraction of the blocking lever from the path of the rack. The focusing mechanism has a certain amount of inertia so that it does not change the position of the objective during movement of the photographic apparatus between different positions in which the objective is or may be trained upon objects located at different distances from the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1977Date of Patent: October 23, 1979Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert, A.G.Inventors: Peter Lermann, Dieter Engelsmann, Herbert Wilsch

Patent number: 4103993Abstract: A motion picture camera with variable focal length lens wherein the zooming collar and the distance selecting or focusing collar on the lens barrel are rotatable to neutral positions by an actuating member which is movable at right angles to or in parallelism with the optical axis of the lens. In such neutral positions of the collars, the focal length of the lens is satisfactory for the making of exposures in daylight or artificial light, and the distance setting corresponds to a distance of 4 to 6 meters to thus guarantee an acceptable depth of field for exposures of subjects located anywhere between closeup and infinity. The actuating member can further close a master switch to allow for starting of the camera motor in immediate response to depression of the release trigger.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1976Date of Patent: August 1, 1978Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert, AGInventors: Friedrich Winkler, Anton Theer, Peter Lermann, Volkmar Stenzenberger, Peter Griessner, Dieter Sandl, Hermann Muller, Herbert Wilsch

Patent number: 4034247Abstract: The motor is comprised of two stators arranged coaxially. Each stator is formed of a first pole teeth plate and a second pole teeth plate interdigitated with each other. The first plates are arranged back-to-back and angularly offset relative to each other by half the pole pitch of either stator. The first pole teeth plates are identical. Each first plate has a first engaging portion cooperating with a second engaging portion of a stator housing fixedly connected to the second plate of the same stator to fix the relative angular positions of the components. On each first plate, the first engaging portion and the neighboring tooth of the same plate define an angle which is bisected by a line relative to which there are symmetrically disposed on the same plate at least two third engaging portions. In the assembled motor, the third engaging portions of one first plate congruently overly the third engaging portions of the other first plate.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1975Date of Patent: July 5, 1977Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert, AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eduard Wagensonner, Herbert Wilsch

Patent number: 3968878Abstract: A round tray for photographic transparencies has a bottom wall, a ring-shaped inner wall and radially extending partitions which are rigid with the two walls and define an annulus of compartments for transparencies. At least a portion of each partition resembles a wedge or sector whose width increases radially outwardly so that the parts of compartments between such portions have a constant width to thus prevent excessive changes in orientation of inserted transparencies. The transparencies may be yieldably held in the respective compartments by discrete leaf springs which are secured to a cover overlying the bottom wall and separably attached to the inner wall, or by bifurcated elastic parts of the partitions.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1974Date of Patent: July 13, 1976Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert, A.G.Inventors: Alfred Winkler, Albert Eggering, Volkmar Stenzenberger, Herbert Wilsch
