Projection apparatus for viewing microfilm cassettes

Abstract

Abstract 1. A projection apparatus for viewing microfilm cassettes, having a cassette (19) provided with two magazines (1, 2) each comprising a spool axis (8, 9) about which the microfilm is wound, the magazines being joined by two plates (5, 6) forming a passageway channel for moving the microfilm between them and being transparent in a zone (7) of said channel, the apparatus comprising a housing including a light (27), a condensing lens (29), an objective projecting lens (30), a viewing screen (26), means (43, 44) for rotating the axes (8, 9) and support means (47) for receiving the cassette (19), said support means hanging onto the housing, movable in translation relative to the housing, in a direction normal to the direction of microfilm moving between the plates (5, 6) and to the direction of the light path between the condensing lens (29) and the objective projecting lens (30), and comprising a transparent portion (35) in front of said exposure zone (7), the transparent zone (35) and the exposure zone (7) being placed across the light path between the condensing lens (29) and the objective projecting lens (30), characterized in that it further comprises translation driving and fine transverse adjustment means (40, 41, 42) for positioning the support means (47) relative to the housing, and in that the driving means (43, 44) for the spool axes (8, 9) are integral with the housing.
