A camera incorporates a photo film support plate, which supports a back of photo film. The photo film has a magnetic recording area. An opening is formed in the photo film support plate. A magnetic head projects forwards from inside the opening, for recording information to and/or reading information from the magnetic recording area. A head base plate is mounted on a rear face of the photo film support plate to cover the opening, for supporting the magnetic head. Adhesive agent is applied to the periphery of the head base plate, and hardened for securing the head base plate to the photo film support plate. A pair of recesses are formed in a rear face of the head base plate in a vicinity of the periphery. The adhesive agent is disposed to extend from a front face of the head base plate to a surface of the recesses, which enlarge a contact area between the adhesive agent and the head base plate.

Photo film support device and magnetic head securing method for the same

A projector of a reflection type has a transparent stage plate on which a transparent original sheet is set. A lamp illuminates the original sheet through the stage plate. A Fresnel mirror is laid on an upside of the original sheet, and reflects light from the original sheet in a convergent manner. The light from the Fresnel mirror is reflected away from the stage plate. The light is again reflected, and incident upon a projecting lens, which projects an image of the original sheet to a screen. A housing contains the Fresnel mirror in movable fashion. An inserting slot is formed in the housing, into which the original sheet is inserted during supply of the original sheet. Photo sensors operate to detect a front edge of the original sheet inserted through the inserting slot. It is also detected that the original sheet is set on the stage plate. An ejector switch is operated for ejection of the original sheet. A solenoid shifts the Fresnel mirror up away from a set position in response to a signal from the photo sensors or the ejector switch. The Fresnel mirror is shifted down to the set position in response to a sheet setting signal, to lie on the original sheet. A sheet feeder roller moves the original sheet from the inserting slot to the stage plate during the supply, and moves the original sheet out of the housing during the ejection of the original sheet.

Projector of reflection type

A reflection prevention film coats a backside of a stage glass by a vacuum evaporation and coating, etc. A light from a metal halide lamp is not reflected on the back of the stage glass by the reflection preventing film, and is transmitted through the stage glass and is reflected on a surface of the stage glass and a transparent manuscript. The light reflected on the surface of the stage glass and the transparent manuscript enters a projection lens unit and appears as a spot light on a screen, but because the light is not reflected on the backside of the stage glass, so that the amount of the light, which causes the spot light, can be reduced. As a result, the spot light on the screen is inconspicuous.
