The present invention relates to a cassette for storing cinema film rolls (7). The cassette (14) comprises a first portion (15) and a second portion (16) which are essentially plane-parallel and separated by a spacing which exceeds the thickness of a cinema film roll (7) and connected by a connecting part (17). The cassette (14) also has an opening (18). The invention is characterized in that the cassette (14) comprises bearing supports (25, 26) for weight-relief against a horizontal circular table (4, 5) when the film roll (7) is moved between the cassette (14) and the circular table (4, 5). The invention also relates to a method of transferring a cinema film roll (7) between a storage cassette (14) and an essentially horizontal circular table (4, 5). The cassette is positioned so that bearing supports (25, 26) of the cassette (14) bear against the circular table (4, 5) and so that a contact edge (27) of the cassette (14) is fitted against the peripheral edge (28) of the circular table (4, 5). In this position, the film is moved between the cassette and the circular table. The present invention also relates to a rack (40) and a relief trolley (46) intended for cassettes (14) as described above.
A cassette for storing cinema film rolls and for moving said cinema film rolls between a substantially horizontal circular table and said cassette, comprising a first side portion, a second side portion substantially parallel to said first side portion, a connecting portion connecting said first and second side portions, said connecting portion defining a distance between said first and second side portions which is greater than the thickness of said cinema film roll, said first and second side portions including a portion having a substantially circular shape corresponding to the shape of said cinema film rolls, and defining an opening for moving said cinema film rolls into said cassette, said second portion including a contact edge defining said opening, and a pair of bearing supports extending beyond said first portion and said contact edge of said second portion of said cassette for providing support and weight relief against said substantially horizontal circular table when said film roll is being moved from said substantially circular table to said cassette.
