Abstract
A camera frame assembly for use with photographic film. The camera frame assembly has a pair of path subenclosures. Each subenclosure has a platen subunit and an intermediate section subunit joined in fixed relation to the platen subunit. The path subenclosures are joined together with the platen subunits in alignment and the intermediate section subunits in alignment, such that the platen subunits form a platen for the photographic film and the intermediate section subunits form an intermediate section overlying the platen.
Claims22
A camera frame assembly, for use with photographic film, said camera frame assembly comprising:
- a pair of subenclosures, each said subenclosure having a platen subunit and an intermediate section subunit having an exposure opening overlying and closely adjoining said platen subunit, said subenclosures being fitted together with said platen subunits in contact;
- whereby said platen subunits form a platen for said photographic film and said subenclosures define a film path between said platen and said intermediate section subunits.
A camera frame assembly, for use with photographic film, said camera frame assembly comprising:
- a path enclosure including a pair of subenclosures, each said subenclosure being a unitary plastic casting, each said subenclosure having a platen subunit and an intermediate section subunit having an exposure opening overlying and closely adjoining said platen subunit, said subenclosures being fitted together with said platen subunits in contact;
- and
- a backbone assembled with said path enclosure;
- said backbone and said path enclosure together comprising a pair of film chambers disposed on opposite sides of said intermediate section subunits;
- said backbone and said path enclosure each including at least part of one of said film chambers.
A camera frame assembly, for use with photographic film, said camera frame assembly comprising:
- a path enclosure including a pair of subenclosures, each said subenclosure having a platen subunit and an intermediate section subunit having an exposure opening overlying and closely adjoining said platen subunit, said platen subunits being fitted together to form a platen, said subenclosures defining a film path between said platen and said intermediate section subunits.
A camera frame assembly, for use with photographic film, said camera frame assembly comprising:
- a path enclosure having a longitudinal suture, said path enclosure including a pair of subenclosures, each said subenclosure having a platen subunit and an intermediate section subunit having an exposure opening overlying and closely adjoining said platen subunit, said platen subunits being fitted together at said suture to form a platen for said film.
