  • Patent number: 7828442
    Abstract: A film-feeding mechanism is provided having at least one conveying claw for intermittently transporting a motion picture film that is provided with perforations which extend parallel to the lateral edges thereof. Said film-feeding mechanism further includes at least one locking claw whose tips engage into a perforation in order to ensure picture steadiness, and a film-guiding device that aligns the motion picture film. Lateral film-guiding elements of the film-guiding device are disposed so as to be at least partly movable relative to the lateral edges of the motion picture film.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7751024
    Abstract: A motion picture camera is provided having a film magazine inside of which a film supply reel, from which a motion picture film to be exposed having a supporting layer and a light-sensitive emulsion layer is unwound and moved over a film conveying path past a picture window for picture exposure and a film winding reel are placed, onto which the exposed motion picture film is wound. A device, which serves to remove foreign bodies located on one or both surfaces of the motion picture film, is placed in the film conveying path between the film supply reel inside the film magazine and the picture window.

  • Patent number: 7367676
    Abstract: A film mechanism for a motion-picture camera is provided. The film feed mechanism has a transport grip having a transport grip clip and at least one transport grip tip which engages in a sprocket hole of a motion-picture film that is transported at a predefinable film transport speed by the kinematics of the transport grip. The transport grip tip displaces the motion-picture film in an intermittent manner and runs through a closed trajectory whose reversing points determine the length of travel during the film transport. The kinematics of the transport grip can be dynamically and/or statically modified in accordance with the film transport speed by a modification to the relative positions of the transport grip and grip drive connected in an articulated manner to the transport grip in such a way that a constantly correct length of travel during a film transport step of the transport grip is guaranteed.

  • Publication number: 20050206845
    Abstract: The invention relates to a film feed mechanism in a motion-picture camera. Said mechanism comprises a transport grip (2), the latter having a transport grip clip (20) and at least one transport grip tip (21), which engages in the sprocket hole (10) of a motion-picture film (1) that is to be transported at a predefinable film transport speed by means of the kinematics of the transport grip (2), displaces the motion-picture film (1) in an intermittent manner and runs through a closed trajectory (B), whose reversing points (P1) and (P2) determine the length of travel (L) during the film transport.

  • Patent number: 6844912
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical system for the rotation of images taken by a film camera about an optical axis, having a controller device for the rotation of images with an adjusting motor and a position sensor for recording the rotation angle of the image-rotating optical system. In addition, the possibility of displacing the optical system in at least one axial direction is provided.

  • Publication number: 20030137582
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical system (3) for the rotation of images taken by a film camera (2) about the optical axis, comprising a controller device for the rotation of images with an adjusting motor (8) and a position sensor (9), for recording the rotation angle of the image-rotating optical system (3). In addition to the rotation or tipping of the image about two axes, the possibility of displacing the optical system (3) in at least one axial direction is provided.

  • Patent number: 6266124
    Abstract: A device for focusing a film picture in a movie film camera with a camera housing which has a lens carrier 5 for holding a camera lens, with a camera end which forms a lens plane, and a film window where a film is moved along in an image plane by means of a film transport device. A device for changing the distance between the lens plane and the image plane is provided.
