Patent number: 5579132Abstract: An image of an object is fixed on a color negative film, the object image on the film is converted into an analog signal for each pixel by use of a scanner, and the analog signal is output to a demodulation processing section. The demodulation processing section demodulates color information of the object from the analog signal and outputs the same to an image processing section. The image processing section subjects the color information to an aesthetic color correction process, if necessary, and displays an image having substantially the same color as that of the object on a color CRT. Further, an output circuit receives the color information from the image processing section, subjects the same to a preset process so as to create a color dye signal indicating the densities of color materials and outputs the color dye signal to a color printer. The color printer creates an image on a medium based on the color dye signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1993Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Takahashi, Noboru Sasaki

Patent number: 5149239Abstract: A can end double-seaming machine has a housing in which a shaft is rotatably supported. The shaft with a seaming cam lever mounted is pressed downwardly by a presser against the bias of a spring until the lower surface of the seaming cam lever is held against the upper surface of the housing. Then, an annular spacer is fitted over the lower end portion of the shaft underneath, with the tubular support held against a neck of the shaft. A seaming roll lever is then mounted on the lower end portion of the shaft. The presser is deactivated to release the shaft, which is lifted together with the seaming cam lever, the annular spacer, and the seaming roll lever under the bias of the spring until the marginal portion of the annular spacer abuts against the lower surface of the housing. The tubular support enters the housing by a distance corresponding to a predetermined clearance. The seaming cam lever and the housing are now spaced from each other by the predetermined clearance.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1991Date of Patent: September 22, 1992Assignee: Hokkai Can Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Honma, Izumi Matsushita, Yoshiteru Kojika, Noboru Sasaki

Patent number: 5139382Abstract: A can end double-seaming machine has a seaming head vertically movably mounted on a base and supporting a seaming chuck and a seaming roll. The seaming head is guided for its vertical movement by support posts on the base. Rotors are rotatably threaded on the support posts and rotatable by a motor for lifting and lowering the seaming head. A controller controls the motor to elevate the seaming head upwardly of a predetermined seaming position, then lower the seaming head downwardly of the seaming position, and thereafter elevate the seaming head to the seaming position, thereby positioning the seaming head in the seaming position. Since the seaming head is lowered downwardly of the seaming position and then lifted back to the seaming position, the seaming head is reliably and accurately be brought into the seaming position without a positional error which would otherwise be caused by the backlash between the rotors and the support posts.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1991Date of Patent: August 18, 1992Assignee: Hokkai Can Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toru Honma, Izumi Matsushita, Yoshiteru Kojika, Noboru Sasaki
