Cinecamera capable of synchronous recording

摘要

The invention discloses a cinecamera capable of synchronous recording wherein a swingable arm carrying a pinch roller at one end thereof is operatively coupled to a shutter release locking lever in such a manner that when the lever is placed in the shutter release locking position for preventing shooting, the pinch roller may be moved away from a capstan by a sufficient distance to permit the smooth loading and unloading of a film cartridge, but when the lever is switched to the release position for permitting the shooting the arm may be swung to displace the pinch roller to a position very closely spaced from the capstan. The construction of the cinecamera may be remarkably simplified as compared with the conventional cinecameras wherein the pinch roller arm is operatively coupled to the cover or lid of the camera.
