FILM WINDING APPARATUS FOR CAMERAS

摘要

The photographic camera is provided with a chamber into which film passes from the supply spool after leaving the film gate. The chamber has two leaf springs arranged therein which act upon the edges of the film and guide the film into a roll form. In the center of the circle described by the leaf springs a catching device is provided which is formed by a spindle freely rotatably mounted on the camera and at least two arms bent into curved form and issuing from this spindle, the concave faces of which arms face in such a direction as to receive the film tongue entering the chamber. The width of the arms is equal to the distance between the two leaf springs and the arms protrude beyond the circle described by the leaf springs in the region between the two leaf springs at the beginning of the winding operation.
