Film strip cleaner apparatus

摘要

A film strip cleaner apparatus includes a support plate having a plurality of film guide rollers journaled thereon to define a cleaning path of the film. A cleaning roller carrying arm is pivotally mounted on the support plate and has a pair of spaced apart film cleaning rollers journaled thereon and positioned on opposite sides of the film cleaning path. A position lock pin is mounted on an end of the roller arm and is resiliently urged toward the support plate. A pair of pin receiving apertures are formed through the support plate and are positioned in angularly spaced relation to the pivot axis of the roller arm. A knob is connected to the lock pin to enable the pin to be withdrawn from the apertures to move the roller arm between an engaged or film cleaning position with the film cleaning rollers engaging opposite sides of the film in the cleaning path and a retracted position with the film cleaning rollers retracted away from the film to enable the cleaning rollers to be removed from the roller arm to restore their cleaning properties.
