When a photo film package is inserted into a film holder body, a clip abuts against a slide lever to move the slide lever, whereby stopper pieces are projected into a passing area. When the photo film package is inserted into the final position, the clip is engaged with engageable pawls. At the time of photographing, a light shielding envelope is pulled out to expose a film F. During the operation of pulling out the light shielding envelope, a stopper tape abuts against the stopper pieces, a slide plate is slidably moved through the pulling force of the light shielding envelope, a control plate interlocking this movement is moved, and push vanes of the control plate push guide vanes, whereby the engageable pawls are retracted from the positions of being engaged with the clips. When the slide plate is moved, a push plate is raised to push a film unit toward a top lid. When the photographing is completed, the light shielding envelope is moved in a direction of inserting, the slide plate is returned to the initial position and the push plate is returned to the initial position. Then, the film unit is housed in the light shielding envelope, and thereafter, the light shielding envelope together with the film unit are taken out of the film holder body.

Film holder

A sheet film pack has a pack housing for receiving a plurality of sheet film units, a lid for closing an opening of the pack housing, a film recovery mouth for recovering exposed sheet films, and a cap for closing the film recovery mouth and holding the lid in the close position. A film pack holder holds the sheet film pack in a sliding tray which is slidable in a holder housing. A cover having an exposure aperture is hinged to the holder housing and pivotally opened for loading the sheet film pack. When the cover is closed, the cap is released from the lid and the pack housing, and the cap is held in the holder housing. By sliding the lid out of and then back into the holder housing, the topmost sheet film unit is positioned in the exposure aperture and pressed by the lid into proper position. After photographing, by sliding lid out of and then back into the holder housing, the sliding tray is moved relative to the holder housing together with the lid, so that the exposed sheet film unit is fed into the bottom side of the pack housing through the film recovery mouth. A latch mechanism for preventing wrong motion of the lid and the sliding tray is incorporated in the film pack holder or in the pack housing. A counter disc is mounted in the sheet film pack, which can be coupled to a counter advancing mechanism mounted in the film pack holder, so as to advance the counter disc by one unit response to one reciprocating movement of the sliding tray.

Sheet film pack and film pack holder

A test apparatus for measuring concentration of test solution, in which a thin sheet having a plurality of through holes and diffusion-limiting membranes to cover corresponding through hole, is movably installed, and one or two openings for deposition and a concentration measuring section are disposed in a thin sheet moving direction.

Test apparatus for measuring concentration of test substance in liquid

A disk-shaped thin plate or a long-sized thin plate having a roll appearance housed in a casing in which openings for penetration of test substance are formed and on which diffusion-limiting membranes are adhered to cover each openings. Also a driving mechanism for moving the thin plate is provided with the casing. The casing thus houses the thin plate and is provided with the driving mechanism and is positioned in a test apparatus body having a concentration measuring electrode therein. Multiple measurments of concentration of a test substance are carried out by moving the thin plate by the driving mechanism to position the diffusion-limiting membrane having the test solution deposited thereon to the position available to contact with the concentration measuring electrode, while keeping the casing placed in the test apparatus body. As a result, a plurality of measurements of concentration of the test substance is carried out easily.

Apparatus for measuring concentration of test substance in liquid

A camera having a superimposing device for superimposing data such as date of photograph taking on a film surface, includes a mechanism for projecting such data in a viewfinder. The superimposing device includes a first optical path for projecting a light image of the object onto an eye-piece of the viewfinder, a second optical path for projecting a light image of the data onto the eye-piece at one predetermined portion thereof and means for forming background for the data projected in the eye-piece.

Superimposing device for use in a data-recording camera

A superimposing device includes a first optical path for projecting an image of an object to be photographed on a film surface, a second optical path for projecting data on the film surface at one portion thereof, and a blocking member for blocking the first optical path for forming a shaded portion at the one portion of the film during the exposure of the object image on the film, so that the data are clearly and definitely imprinted on the one portion.

A camera which permits film units to be initially stored as a plurality of first sheets and an equal number of second sheets. In taking a photograph, a first sheet is exposed and then transferred into correctly aligned contact with a corresponding second sheet, which may constitute a subsequently sealable folder or envelope for containment of the first sheet, or a cover which is bondable to the first sheet. This transfer of a first sheet is effected entirely independently in the camera, or by a camera mechanism acting on a draw mechanism attached firmly but not fixedly to the first sheet, in this latter case the draw mechanism being detached from the first sheet immediately subsequent to transfer thereof into association with the second sheet. The semifilm unit constituted by the assembled first sheet and second sheet is then removed to the exterior of the camera to form a complete film unit in which, the first sheet and second sheet are bonded together, and, if the semi-film unit is an auto-process type film unit, simultaneous processing thereof is effected during this removal.
