Latest Patents
Stanley Burke, Jr. holds a patent for a film exposure status indicator for a film cartridge. This invention, identified as a film exposure status indicator, is designed to indicate whether a filmstrip on a spool within the cartridge has been at least partially rewound. The indicator utilizes the rewinding motion of the spool to signify at least partial exposure of the filmstrip. In its preferred embodiment, the status indicator is a self-contained module that can be attached to a standard 35 mm film cartridge. This module is designed to fit entirely within an external well of one of the cartridge end caps.
The module features a central aperture for receiving the protruding end of the film spool and includes a cover disk with first and second status indication windows. An indicator wheel located beneath the cover disk displays first and second exposure indicia visible through the respective windows. A spring-biased locking button on the indicator wheel engages with a driver tab on a driver wheel, which is rotatably driven by the film spool. When the driver wheel is rotated in the film-rewinding direction, the locking button aligns with the first window, indicating that the filmstrip has been at least partially rewound. This movement locks the indicator wheel to the cover disk, preventing further rotation and decoupling the indicator wheel from the driver wheel. Consequently, a second indicium indicating film exposure becomes visible through the second status indication window.
