Device for indicating the advancing of film in a camera being taken up or rewound

摘要

A camera in which a roll of film is employed is provided with a device for indicating the advancing of film being taken up or rewound. A friction member is rotatably mounted on the film take-up spool shaft but does not rotate with the shaft unless film is wound around the friction member. The friction member is provided with a cam portion which is engaged by one end of an indication lever. The other end of the indication lever is provided with a striped or other pattern which is viewable through a window in the camera body. Alternatively, a portion of the friction member could be directly viewed through the window.
