Abstract
A film winding apparatus for winding a film into a cartridge includes a film winding mechanism provided in an apparatus housing for turning a spool housed in the cartridge to wind the film around the spool. The film is inserted through a film inlet located on one side of the apparatus housing and fed toward the film winder. The cartridge loaded on a cartridge mount provided on another side of the apparatus housing is conveyed up to the film winding mechanism, where the cartridge is set in a film loading position. The film winding apparatus thus constructed offers easy operation without any special adjustment or treatment of the film or cartridge, yet featuring single-unit construction and portability.
