Inventor: BITTNER WILFRIED
IPC: G03C3/00
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: The camera (10) of this invention preferably includes a rewind interlock (300) that prevents the double exposure of film (14). Preferably, the camera of this invention is an Advanced Photo System (APS) camera that employs APS film. Such APS film may be contained in a film cassette (16) that has a light lock door (23). The rewind interlock prevents thrusting or pulling a frame from the film cassette after that frame of film has been exposed and rewound into the film cassette. This prevents the accidental double exposure of a frame of film. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the rewind interlock prevents thrusting or pulling film from a film cassette after all of the film has been rewound into the film cassette. The rewind interlock does this by preventing the film advancing mechanism (12) from being manipulated in a direction that advances film from the cassette after the exposed film has been rewound into the film cassette. The rewind interlock may be reset to permit the advancement of film from a film cassette by the removal of the film cassette from the camera.

Abstract: The assembly to produce an absorbent pad (2), from a mixture of flocking and air, has a pipe channel (7) to carry the mixture, with pipe sections (7',7) to carry part-flows. Both sections are aligned at a rotating and recessed shaping drum (10). The second part-flow is delivered to the drum after the first, in the direction (15) of drum rotation. One pipe section carries a part-flow with a higher flocking content than in the other part-flow. A third pipe section (7') carries a third part-flow of flocking and air, to be delivered to the rotating drum in front of the first part-flow. The first part-flow contains a hydrophilic additive as a super absorbent polymer (SAP), to lie in the center layer of the pad structure. The pipe sections have at least one pneumatic unit (20) to break down flocking clumps, where the clumps are accelerated to scatter or tear the clumps apart. The clump dissipation unit is at the downstream end of at least one pipe section, with a jet at the center of the pipe cross section. The jet has at least one channel to carry compressed air through the jet to accelerate and scatter the flocking clumps. The clump dissipater is an injection jet, with a preceding mixture flow zone (21) fitted with passages for compressed air to pass into the flow zone from around it to accelerate the mixture flow. At least one passage is linked to a ring channel for the compressed air supply, as channels at equal angular intervals around the flow zone. The axes of the passage channels are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the injector jet, for the compressed air streams to be delivered axially into the flow direction of the flocking/air mixture. Or they are aligned at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the injector jet, to give axial and radial components to the compressed air streams, with an axis angle ( alpha ) to meet the inequation 0 ≤  alpha  ≤ 50 degrees or 5 degrees  ≤  alpha  ≤ 30 degrees . An Independent claim is included for an absorbent pad manufacturing process, where the flock/air mixture is divided into part-flows for laying at the rotating and recessed shaping drum.
