Abstract
The character imprinting device employs an LED for emitting a light through a mask having characters of various colors thereon for imprinting on a film. In one embodiment, a focusing unit is provided for focusing the light emitted through a lens through a data display plate for imprinting of characters onto a film. In still another embodiment, use is made of a rotatable data display plate which can be manually actuated via a gear on the outside of the camera. A carrier is also provided for housing a data display plate between two interengaged transparent covers.
Claims5
A character imprinting device for a camera comprising;
- a light emitting means for emitting light in response to an actuation signal;
- a carrier connected to a rear cover of a camera and mounting said light emitting means thereon;
- a film presser for guiding a photographic film in a path to be exposed to a light emitted from said light emitting means;
- a mask support member connected to said film presser for receiving a light emitted from said light emitting means;
- a shading means located between said carrier and said mask support member for shading a space between said carrier and said mask support member for outside light;
- and
- a stationary character imprinting mask removably mounted on said support member between said film presser and said support member to receive the light emitted from said light emitting means, said mask being of plate shape and having one or a plurality of colored characters printed thereon for imaging onto said film in response to actuation of said light emitting means.
A character imprinting device for a camera comprising:
- a lens for focusing an image;
- an exposure unit for adjusting the exposure quantity and time of a light entering through said lens for passage to a film;
- a data display plate at least as large as an area of film to be developed having one or a plurality of characters thereon for selective exposure to the film;
- and
- a carrier receiving said data display plate therein, said carrier including a front cover of transparent material and a rear cover of transparent material secured to said front cover with said data display plate sandwiched therebetween.
