Storage rolls for photographic background sheets - has electrically driven rollers mounted on brackets fixed to ceiling

摘要

The system is intended for storing rolls of photographic background sheets so that individual backgrounds can be readily available when required. The backgrounds are rolled on spools (4-9) mounted with a bearing at each end on a pair of parallel brackets (1) attached to the ceiling of the photographer's stud. The sheet from each roller passes over one of the guide rollers (21-25) and then over one of a lower set of rollers (16-20). Rods (10-15) attached to the free ends of the sheets act as tensioning weights. The required background is selected by pressing a switch so that an electric motor drives the appropriate roller to pay-out the background sheet.
