Abstract
A counting device, in particular a picture counting device for a camera, comprises a counting mark carrier (401) which forms a first assembly and has a plurality of counting marks disposed in a ring shape and an indicating device (415) which forms a second assembly and interacts with counting marks of the counting mark carrier, one of the assemblies being displaceable relative to the other assembly by a control device (114) to set a respective counter position and the assembly (401) displaceable relative to the other assembly being rotatable and displaceable parallel to a plane of rotation of said displaceable assembly (401) by the control device (114). Preferably, the rotatable and displaceable assembly contains the counting mark carrier (401).
Claims26
An image counting device for a camera, comprising a first assembly including a counting mark carrier (401) having a plurality of counting marks disposed in an annular area of the counting mark carrier;
- a second assembly including indicating means (415) interacting with the counting marks of the counting mark carrier of the first assembly;
- and
- moving means (114) for moving one of the first and second assemblies relative to the other one of the assemblies in a predetermined plane, the one assembly which is movable by the moving means thus constituting a movable assembly;
- wherein by the moving means the movable assembly is rotatable in one sense and is shiftable alternately in different directions.
