Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a shaped-spring assembly. The method and apparatus utilizes a spring forming apparatus which facilitates the forming of shaped springs without adversely effecting the characteristics of the spring, and a magazine arrangement which stores and loads shaped springs, while maintaining the shape of the springs. The magazine arrangement further permits the storage of a plurality of the shaped springs without fatiguing a leading edge of the spring. With the apparatus and method of the present invention, it is possible to load empty shaped spring cavities at a select location, such as at a field site, and also have a steady supply of shaped springs available for quick replacement. The forming apparatus is designed so as to easily cooperate and/or be mounted onto the magazine arrangement so as to facilitate the transfer of shape springs which are shaped by the forming apparatus into the magazine arrangement.

Abstract: A film cassette having perforated film for permitting automated extension of the film, the film cassette comprises a core having the film convolutedly wound on the core. A rotatable drum receives the core, and includes a recessed slot and a projection which engages a perforation of the film for permitting motion of the film as the drum is rotated. A shell receives the drum, and includes an opening and a finger that matingly engages the recessed slot of the drum for forcing the film through the opening of the shell and, consequently, out of the film cassette.

Abstract: A film cartridge is provided with an internal mechanism for engaging and pulling a leading end of film from a roll to extend the film through a cartridge exit port. A one-way clutch, including a rotational element captured in a ramped cage, moves in one direction to capture the film between the ball and cage and advance the film through the exit. Movement in the opposite direction releases the film and repositions the clutch for the next advance. Still more specifically, the cartridge includes a second and opposite working one-way clutch for preventing premature retraction of the film. A release mechanism is employed for disabling both clutches when desired for intentional rewinding.

Abstract: A film cassette comprises a lighttight housing, a spool rotatably supported inside the housing, a filmstrip wound onto the spool, a film leader attached to a leading end of the filmstrip, and a sprocket coaxially connected to the spool with identical pitch teeth adapted to be received in respective perforations along an edge section of the leader wider than the filmstrip for advancing the leader (but not the filmstrip) from the housing when the sprocket and the spool are rotated in a film unwinding direction. Among the perforations that receive the teeth the perforation closest to the filmstrip is longer than the others to allow anyone of the teeth to readily enter that perforation when the leader is wound onto the spool after the filmstrip.

Abstract: A film assemblage comprises an elongate filmstrip and a relatively shorter leader adhered together at respective overlapping areas and adapted to be wound onto a take-up spool in a camera beginning with the leader and followed by the filmstrip. The filmstrip and/or the leader has a hole located and dimensioned relative to the overlapping areas to receive at least one of the overlapping areas when the leader and the filmstrip are wound onto a take-up spool in a camera. Since one of the overlapping areas is located in the hole when the filmstrip and the leader are coiled tightly about the take-up spool, the double thickness of the overlapping areas will not leave any pressure marks on the filmstrip.

Abstract translation: 薄膜组合件包括细长的胶片和相对较短的前导件，其在相应的重叠区域处粘合在一起，并且适于卷绕到相对于头部的相机开始的摄像卷轴上，随后是胶片。 胶卷和/或引导件具有相对于重叠区域定位和定尺寸的孔，以便当引导件和胶卷被卷绕到照相机中的卷取卷轴上时，接收至少一个重叠区域。 由于当胶卷和引导件围绕卷取卷筒紧紧卷绕时，重叠区域中的一个位于孔中，所以重叠区域的双重厚度将不会在胶片上留下任何压痕。
