Method of and apparatus for manufacturing film cartridge

摘要

A cartridge positioning and holding mechanism (172) has a fixed guide (176) for positioning a single-open-ended cartridge (28) when the single-open-ended cartridge (28) is inserted in an axial direction thereof with a cap (26a) positioned ahead, and a movable chuck (174) openable and closable for forming and holding the single-open-ended cartridge (28) after a film coil (32) is inserted into the single-open-ended cartridge (28) in an axial direction of the spool of the film coil (32). The film coil (32) can be inserted into the single-open-ended cartridge (28) highly accurately and efficiently with a simple and small arrangement.
