In a microfilm reader-printer working according to the rotational principle one of the fixed deflecting mirrors (11, 12) by which the image is to be projected on an exposure area (13) is made and arranged in a flexible manner. A deflecting device (14) formed by a magnet coil (15) and a pusher rod (16) is continually bending one of the deflecting mirrors (11, 12) during the exposure of the base material in such a way that an image is produced that is free from distortions.

Optical scanning device as well as a microfilm reader-printer with such

A lens sleeve designed to float in a lens holder. A focussing device with a servomotor and an eccentric fixed directly at the lens sleeve, with said eccentric gripping below a collar of a lens guided in the lens sleeve.

Lens support

A transport mechanism for film cards having two rocker levers supported on a pivoting lever that can swivel around a shaft, with the rocker levers being capable of pivoting around a rocker lever shaft. The two rocker levers, in turn, support two opposite discs, one of which is driven by a motor. A gripping motion of the discs is brought about by provision of guide grooves located on the rocker levers, with each groove accommodating a stationary pin. Through provision of an intermediate carrier, the upper disc is fixed to the upper rocker lever in a manner that it can pivot around a horizontal axis which is at right angles to the rocker lever shaft. Therefore the upper disc can be tilted in the respective direction of transport.

Transport mechanism

A microfilm reader with a lens holder moved independently of a lighting unit at right angles in relation to the beam path by means of a drive unit. This renders it possible to correctly position any of a plurality of lenses arranged side by side in the lens holder in relation to the frame to be projected. Given that the lighting unit and the lens holder are capable of moving independently of each other, it is furthermore possible to shift the lighting unit into a position above the respective frame to be projected to obtain an image that is optimally illuminated.

Method of projecting film frames and microfilm reader for carrying out

In a device for transporting flat objects from one station to another the stations are opposite each other, in the same plane, at an obtuse angle. The one station can be a film card holder, the other station a film card magazine. Since the two stations are not in line, a gap is provided between them. At the narrowest side of the gap a transport mechanism is located for transporting the objects.

Device for transferring flat objects between two stations

A transfer device to transport a film card from a film platform of a microfilm reading machine to a cassette and in the reverse direction has a transport device which has two mutually opposite rotary disks which are approachable towards each other like the jaws of tongs. This transport device is capable of moving towards the film card, so that the film card passes between the disks. One of the disks is driven so that the film card is transported as soon as it passes between the disks. Due to the arrangement of a pair of disks, the transport device is extremely flat so that it can withdraw a film card from a cassette without the need for it to be slid into the induction region of the transport device by means of, for example, a ram.
