Abstract
A reproduction camera having a movable table which at two adjacent corners is guided in two vertical guides on the frame of the camera and moved by an endless cord which is passed over cord pulleys arranged above and below said guides, the endless cord being further passed over a winding drum and connected to the said movable table in such manner that the two connecting points are moved in the same direction when the cord is moved, whereby a very exact translatory movement of the table is obtained by a very simple mechanism which is easy to manufacture and to operate.

A reproduction camera comprising:
- a frame,
- a fixed table carried by said frame and having a supporting plate for a light-sensitive sheet,
- two vertical guide members on said frame at adjacent corners of said frame,
- first and second counterweights,
- two pairs of cord pulleys associated with one of said guide members, one of said pair being mounted above and the other of said pair being mounted below said one of said guide members, a third pair of cord pulleys and a single pulley associated with the other of said guide members, said third pair being mounted below the other of said guide members and said single pulley being mounted above said other guide member, and
- a winding drum mounted on said frame for rotation,
- means attached to said drum member for manual rotation thereof,
- an endless cord wound several times on said drum,
- a movable table,
- said cord extending from said drum to and engaging one of said pulleys mounted above said one guide member, and then vertically downwardly past said one guide member and fixedly attached to said movable table, and then to and engaging one of said pulleys mounted below said one guide member and then horizontally to and engaging one of said pulleys below said other guide member, and then vertically past said other guide member and attached to one of said counterweights, and then vertically to and engaging said single pulley, and then vertically past said other guide member and fixedly attached to said movable table and then to and engaging the other pulley below said other guide member and then horizontally to and engaging the other pulley below said one guide member and then vertically past said one guide member and attached to the other of said counterweights and then to and engaging the other pulley above said one guide member and then to said drum, so that rotation of said drum in one direction raises said counterweights and lowers said movable table and rotation of said drum in the opposite direction lowers said counterweights and raises said movable table.
