Abstract
Abstract A camera system in which two distinct photographs are produced in juxtaposition with respect to each other on a single frame from two successive images projected thereon. The camera structure includes a camera with a lens which is shiftable laterally between two positions. A nonactinic background is provided for the subject and means are provided for positioning the object in two distinct positions for successive exposures. The second embodiment includes a camera in which the film carrier is shiftable laterally and a background for the object is provided, the background having outer panels of a nonactinic nature and a central panel which is actinic in nature. The subject is disposed before the actinic panel for successive photographs along the identical center line.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A camera system comprising a camera including a film support means, a lens, a lens support means for supporting said lens in a position for exposing light through said lens onto a film supported on said film support means, means for fixedly maintaining one of said support means, means for adjustably mounting the other said support means for sidewise movement with respect to said fixedly mounted support means for selectively positioning said lens and a first increment of film in optical alignment and thereafter positioning said lens and a second increment of film in such alignment, and a screen of nonactinic material mounted at a fixed predetermined distance from said camera and providing a background for an object to be photographed, and a rotatable bracket mounted adjacent said screen for positioning an object to be photographed in a desired position with respect to said screen and camera.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A camera system comprising a camera including a film support means, a lens, a lens support means for supporting said lens in a position for exposing light through said lens onto a film supported on said film support means, means for fixedly maintaining one of said support means, means for adjustably mounting the other said support means for sidewise movement with respect to said fixedly mounted support means for selectively positioning said lens and a first increment of film in optical alignment and thereafter positioning said lens and a second increment of film in such alignment, and a screen of nonactinic material mounted at a fixed predetermined distance from said camera and providing a background for an object to be photographed, and a rotatable bracket mounted adjacent said screen for positioning an object to be photographed in a desired position with respect to said screen and camera.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
A camera system as in claim 1 wherein the film support is fixed and the lens is movable and wherein said rotatable bracket is so placed that it will hold an object directly in front of the lens when the latter is in one of its side positions and that when the lens is moved to its other side position the rotation of the bracket will place the object directly in front of the lens in such other side position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
255 words
A camera system comprising a camera including a film support means, a lens, a lens support means for supporting said lens in a position for exposing light through said lens onto a film supported on said film support means, means for fixedly maintaining one of said support means, means for adjustably mounting the other said support means for sidewise movement with respect to said fixedly mounted support means for selectively positioning said lens and a first increment of film in optical alignment and thereafter positioning said lens and a second increment of film in such alignment, and a screen formed of nonactinic material mounted at a fixed predetermined distance from said camera and providing a background for an object to be photographed, said adjustable mounting means comprising a fixed member provided with an elongated groove, a second member snugly but slidably mounted in said groove, and a detent for holding said members selectively in any one of three relative positions in which the light passing through the lens will be directed respectively to one side of the film, to the middle section thereof and to the other side thereof, said detent comprising a spring pressed ball mounted in said slidable member, said fixed member being provided with indentations at each of three predetermined positions adopted to receive said ball and to hold said slidable member fixed in said groove; and a rotatable bracket mounted adjacent said screen for positioning an object to be photographed in a desired posItion with respect to said screen and camera.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
255 words
A camera system comprising a camera including a film support means, a lens, a lens support means for supporting said lens in a position for exposing light through said lens onto a film supported on said film support means, means for fixedly maintaining one of said support means, means for adjustably mounting the other said support means for sidewise movement with respect to said fixedly mounted support means for selectively positioning said lens and a first increment of film in optical alignment and thereafter positioning said lens and a second increment of film in such alignment, and a screen formed of nonactinic material mounted at a fixed predetermined distance from said camera and providing a background for an object to be photographed, said adjustable mounting means comprising a fixed member provided with an elongated groove, a second member snugly but slidably mounted in said groove, and a detent for holding said members selectively in any one of three relative positions in which the light passing through the lens will be directed respectively to one side of the film, to the middle section thereof and to the other side thereof, said detent comprising a spring pressed ball mounted in said slidable member, said fixed member being provided with indentations at each of three predetermined positions adopted to receive said ball and to hold said slidable member fixed in said groove; and a rotatable bracket mounted adjacent said screen for positioning an object to be photographed in a desired posItion with respect to said screen and camera.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
79 words
A camera system as in claim 3 wherein the film support is fixed and the lens is movable and wherein said rotatable bracket is so placed that it will hold an object in front of the lens when the latter is in one of its side positions and that when the lens is moved to its other side position the rotation of the bracket will place the object directly in front of the lens in such other side position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A camera system as in claim 3 further including a lens cover fitting over the lens and having a vertical slit therein.
