Abstract: 1365945 Recording television images MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO Ltd 13 Oct 1971 [15 Oct 1970 (5) 30 March 1971] 47602/71 Heading H4F A desired frame of information displayed on tube 112 (Fig. 1) of a conventional television receiver is selected by operation of a switch 131 which controls a shutter circuit 120 to cause a second cathode-ray tube 132 to display such frame for recording on photosensitive paper 124 which is then advanced past cutting means 122 after which the recorded portion is transported to thermal developing means 125. The actual recording occupies 1/30 sec. but the developing process requires about 15 seconds and to allow a second frame to be recorded before the end of the developing process for the first frame the invention provides means which allows the subsequently recorded portion of the paper 124 to be transported past the face plate of tube 132 to form a loop (for temporary storage) which, when the first prcessing has been completed, is then cut and transported to the developing means. Fig. 5 shows this aspect where the recording paper 226 (124 of Fig. 1) which is transported, upwardly, across the face of cathode-ray tube 201 (132 in Fig. 1) by means of rollers 204, 212 and 214, is bowed out into a loop when micro switch sensing means detects that a portion of the paper already cut by cutter 210 (bearing the first image record) is still between the rollers 214, the motion of rollers 212 and operation of the cutter being arrested in this case. The rollers 214 then transport the paper between the developing drum 219 (125 in Fig. 1) and a pressure plate 221 and cutter 210 and rollers again function to transport a second cut section of the paper bearing the second image record to the developing drum, the shutters circuit and rollers 204 being set ready for the recording of a third image frame. Fig. 2 shows the general construction of the apparatus (a side view with a wall removed being shown in Fig. 3) and the Specification includes descriptions of: the recording paper magazine (123 of Fig. 1) with reference to Fig. 6 (not shown); the pressure plate 202, Fig. 2, which holds the paper against the face of tube 201 (Fig. 7, not shown); the cutter 210 (Fig. 8, not shown); the developing drum (Fig. 9, not shown); the control circuit 134 and photodetector 135 (Fig. 1) which detects if sufficient recording paper remains to be pressed against the face of the tube (Fig. 10, not shown); a circuit which controls the motion of rollers 204 (Fig. 11, not shown) and the circuit of the temperature controller 127 associated with the developing drum (Fig. 12, not shown). In a modification the tube 132 may be replaced by a "pin" tube producing an electrostatic image on suitable recording paper which image is subsequently developed by known means.
