Abstract
A camera having a transport device for stepwise transport of a film in each case by the length of a respective picture, wherein the transport device includes a film take-up shaft which is driven by way of a winding reel on which a pull element, preferably a cord, is wound, on which film take-up shaft the film can be wound from a film supply spool, in particular from an inserted film cartridge, wherein the free end of the pull element (2) projects into the open through an opening in the housing (17) of the camera and the film (14) is transported stepwise by the length of a picture by pulling on the pull element (2), wherein the winding reel (8) is adapted for automatically winding on the pull element (2) after transport of the film (14) by the length of a picture.
Claims16
A camera having a transport device for stepwise transport of a film in each case by the length of a respective picture, wherein the transport device includes a film take-up shaft which is driven by way of a winding reel on which a pull element is wound, on which film take-up shaft the film can be wound from a film supply spool, wherein the free end of the pull element projects into the open through an opening in a housing of the camera and the film is transported stepwise by the length of a picture by pulling on the pull element, the winding reel being adapted for automatically winding on the pull element after transport of the film by the length of a picture.
A method of transporting a film in a camera wherein by pulling on a pull element a winding reel is rotated and at the same time a return spring thereof is stressed, the film is moved by the length of a picture and wound onto the film take-up shaft drivingly connected to the winding reel, and, when the pull element is released, the spring-loaded winding reel returns to the starting position, the pull element being wound onto the winding reel again.
