Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A device for making a sequence of photographs forming a permanent record of the movement of a participant in action comprising a stall, said stall having a back wall having visible grids disposed thereon, said stall having a roof and a front wall instrument panel, lighting means for illuminating the interior of said stall, a camera mounted on said instrument panel directly in front of the position where said participant is to be in action, a plurality of electric eyes mounted on the instrument panel at preselected spaced locations, an electrical system for sequentially actuating the shutter of said camera responsive to actuation by said electric eyes actuated during a single stroke by said participant, means for initiating actuation of said electrical system by said participant, means for feeding of a new sheet of film from a magazine to the camera in position for the next sequence of photographs, means for recycling said electrical system to its initial position when a participant fails to act after a preselected time delay, and means for recycling said electrical system to its initial position after a preselected time delay after the actuation of the last electric eye.
