Abstract
A negative film setter has film holders for having set therein films to be fed. Each of the film holders has both a detecting sensor for detecting whether a film is set therein and a lamp which is lit when a film is set in a film holder and which is not lit when a film is not set therein. Therefore, a user can determine at a glance whether or not films are set in the film holders, thus allowing the user to skillfully set a plurality of films at film setting sections. Accordingly, due to detection by the detecting sensor, the negative film setter can recognize in which film holder a film is set, and films can be fed in a sequential order.
Claims20
A film feeding device comprising:
- a plurality of film holders for feeding films which are set therein,
- wherein each of the plurality of film holders includes a film presence and absence detecting section for detecting whether or not the film is set, and a film-presence indicating section for indicating whether or not the film is set upon receipt of a signal from the film presence and absence detecting section.
A film feeding device including a plurality of film holders for feeding films which are set therein, the film feeding device comprising:
- a holding mechanism for holding the plurality of film holders so that a position at which a film is fed can be fixed;
- a determination section for determining, in which film holder a film to be processed last is set;
- and
- a display section for displaying a film holder in which no film is set in the closest vicinity of a film holder that was determined by the determination section to have set therein the film to be processed last.
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a film feeding device including a plurality of film holders for feeding films which are set therein, each of the plurality of the film holders including a film presence and absence detecting section for detecting whether or not a film is set, and a film-presence indicating section for indicating whether or not the film is set upon receipt of a signal from the film presence and absence detecting section;
- and
- an image reading section for reading the image reading apparatus reads an image fed from the film feeding device.
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a film feeding device including a plurality of film holders for feeding films which are set therein, the film feeding device including a holding mechanism for holding the plurality of film holders so that a position at which a film is fed can be fixed, a determination section for determining, in which film holder a film to be processed last is set, and a display section for displaying a film holder in which no film is set in the closest vicinity of a film holder that was determined by the determination section to have set therein the film to be processed last;
- and
- an image reading section for reading an image of a film fed from the film feeding device.
