Motor driven camera and film winding apparatus therefor

Claim 2

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; and (b) a driving means for supplying the motor with a signal to drive the motor in such a manner that the film is wound up at a normal speed between frames and at a lower speed than the normal speed from the film loading position up to the photographing start position.

Claim 3

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a film winding motor built in the camera; and (b) a driving means for supplying the motor with a signal to drive the motor in such a manner that the film is wound up at a normal speed between frames and at a lower speed than the normal speed from the film loading position up to the photographing start position.

Claim 4

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a film winding motor built in the camera; and (b) a driving means for supplying the motor with a signal to drive the motor in such a manner that the film is wound up at a normal speed between frames and at a lower speed than the normal speed from the film loading position up to the photographing start position.

Claim 5

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; and (b) driving energy supplying means for supplying the motor with one voltage between frames from the photographic start position and with a lower voltage until the first frame of the film reaches the photographing start position than the voltage to be supplied to the motor for winding up the film after the photographing start position.

Claim 6

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; and (b) driving energy supplying means for supplying the motor with one voltage between frames from the photographic start position and with a lower voltage until the first frame of the film reaches the photographing start position than the voltage to be supplied to the motor for winding up the film after the photographing start position.

Claim 7

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; (b) driving means for supplying the motor with a first driving energy having a first level and a second driving energy having a second level in sequence; and (c) a change over means for changing over the energy to be delivered from the driving means to the motor from the first driving energy level to the second driving energy level in response to arrival of the first film frame at the photographing start position.

Claim 8

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; (b) driving means for supplying the motor with a first driving energy having a first level and a second driving energy having a second level in sequence; and (c) a change over means for changing over the energy to be delivered from the driving means to the motor from the first driving energy level to the second driving energy level in response to arrival of the first film frame at the photographing start position.

Claim 9

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; (b) a driving means for delivering driving energy to the motor; (c) shutter release switch means for the camera; (d) second switching means to be brought into the effective state in response to the film being loaded into the camera; (e) a control means for energizing the driving means when the shutter release switch means has been actuated and the second switching means has been brought into the effective state; (f) a third switching means to be brought into the effective state when the film has been wound up to a photographing start position by the motor; and (g) a second control means connected to the driving means to increase the magnitude of the driving energy when the third switching means has been brought into the effective state.

Claim 10

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; (b) a driving means for delivering driving energy to the motor; (c) shutter release switch means for the camera; (d) second switching means to be brought into the effective state in response to the film being loaded into the camera; (e) a control means for energizing the driving means when the shutter release switch means has been actuated and the second switching means has been brought into the effective state; (f) a third switching means to be brought into the effective state when the film has been wound up to a photographing start position by the motor; and (g) a second control means connected to the driving means to increase the magnitude of the driving energy when the third switching means has been brought into the effective state.

Claim 11

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; (b) driving means for delivering driving energy to the motor; (c) first switching means in operative engagement with the back cover of the camera to be actuated in response to the closing of the back cover; (d) control means for energizing the driving means in response to the actuation of the first switching means; (e) second switching means to be brought into the effective state when the film has been wound up to a photographing start position by the motor; and (f) second control means connected to the driving means to increase the magnitude of the driving energy when the second switching means has been brought into the effective state.

Claim 12

A film winding apparatus for a camera having a film, comprising: (a) a motor to wind the film; (b) driving means for delivering driving energy to the motor; (c) first switching means in operative engagement with the back cover of the camera to be actuated in response to the closing of the back cover; (d) control means for energizing the driving means in response to the actuation of the first switching means; (e) second switching means to be brought into the effective state when the film has been wound up to a photographing start position by the motor; and (f) second control means connected to the driving means to increase the magnitude of the driving energy when the second switching means has been brought into the effective state.
