US Patent:
50972898, Mar 17, 1992
Filed:
Jun 12, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/714199
Inventors:
Orren J. Lucht - Farmington MN
Charles R. Lucht - Bloomington MN
Wayne D. Gunderson - Plymouth MN
International Classification:
G03B 2752
G03B 2792
B65H 7518
US Classification:
355 55
Abstract:
A photographic printer 20 is disclosed for projecting an image carried by a negative to a light sensitive medium 40. The apparatus 20 includes a novel mixing chamber 24, lens carrier 35, and light sensitive web material reel 39, 47. The mixing chamber 24 includes four walls 103a-103d defining a volume and oriented relative to one another wherein the edge of one wall 103 is proximate the face of an adjacent wall 103. This orientation daisy chains around the volume whereby the walls 103 may be moved relative to one another to continuously change the volume so as to correspond to various size negatives and/or masks. The lens stack 35 includes a plurality of concentric shafts 126-131 arranged about a solid shaft 125 with each concentric shaft 126-131 being rotatable separately from the other concentric shafts 126-131. A deck 14-145 is cooperatively attached to each concentric shaft 126-131 with each deck 140-145 having a plurality of lens carriers 55 connected thereto. The lens carriers 55 are thereby individually incremented into the light path 22 to focus the image from the negative onto the light sensitive material 40.

US Patent:
39515451, Apr 20, 1976
Filed:
Aug 28, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/501036
Inventors:
Orren J. Lucht - Bloomington MN
Assignee:
Lucht Engineering, Inc. - Burnsville MN
International Classification:
G03B 2744
G03B 2776
US Classification:
355 46
Abstract:
Photographic printers of versatile character are taught. Disclosed is a printer having a lens carrier assembly which includes at least one subassembly of shiftable lens boards adapted to be moved in and out of an operative position for photographic printing. The subassembly can be moved as a unit out of engagable relationship with power means for shifting the lens boards. The power means for shifting the lens boards is not moved with the subassembly. An alternate subassembly may then be moved into position for operation by the power means. Disclosed also is a composite lens carrier assembly which, as a complete unit, can be entirely removed from a printing apparatus to permit an alternate assembly to be inserted. Additionally disclosed is a new location for a shutter mechanism, at the window into a chamber for the light-sensitive print material. Further, there is disclosed a new negative holder assembly of removable and replaceable elements.

Vacuum Platen For Use In A Printer

US Patent:
50992775, Mar 24, 1992
Filed:
Dec 1, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/444813
Inventors:
Orren J. Lucht - Farmington MN
Charles R. Lucht - Bloomington MN
International Classification:
G03B 2760
US Classification:
355 73
Abstract:
A platen 23, 96 having a series of channels 174 which are in fluid communication with a vacuum and a fluid source. The grooves 174 preferably extend through an end of the platen 23 to the atmosphere such that the vacuum has a maximum value. The platen 23, 96 is used in a printer-processor 10 which has a printing unit 11 and a processing unit 12. A light source 18 directs light 64 toward light-sensitive photographic printing material 22 held by the platen 23, 96. A transport system 132 conveys the print material 22 from the platen 23, 96 to the entrance 29 of the processor 12.

US Patent:
45838453, Apr 22, 1986
Filed:
May 29, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/614945
Inventors:
Orren J. Lucht - Farmington MN
Stephen A. Bartz - Jordan MN
Assignee:
Lucht Engineering, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
G03B 2752
G03B 2744
US Classification:
355 46
Abstract:
An improved photographic printer having a plurality of lens assemblies with each lens assembly including a plurality of optical elements spaced from each other along the general direction of the printer optical path. The optical elements of each lens assembly are movable relative to each other between first and second positions with one of the first and second positions being within the optical path and the other being without the optical path. A plurality of positioning elements are adapted to cooperate with different ones of the optical elements to selectively position them in the first or second position. Specifically, the plurality of lens assemblies are movably supported to alternatively position each with its optical elements in conjunction with the positioning elements for movement of the optical elements between the first and second positions. In a preferred embodiment, the lens assemblies are supported by a carrousel and the optical elements may include lenses and baffles. Preferably, the positioning elements are plungers with the carrousel rotatably supporting the lens assemblies about the plungers.

G03B 2900
G03B 2744
G03B 2758
G03B 2760
US Classification:
355 28
Abstract:
An apparatus 10 for printing and processing photographs is disclosed. The printer-processor has a printing unit 11 and a processing unit 12. A light source 18 directs light 64 toward light-sensitive photographic printing material 22. The negative 19 is held by a rotatable negative carrier 20. The optics 21 for the printer-processor 10 are mounted upon a rotatable lens carousel assembly 63 having a plurality of lens decks 65. The printing material 22 is supported by one or two platens 23, 96, each having a plurality of vacuum grooves 174 to hold the print material 22. A transport system 132 conveys the print material 22 from the platen 23, 96 to the entrance 29 of the processor 12. The transport system 132 includes a pre-accumulation conveyor system 147 and a post-accumulation conveyor system 149, between which is a holding area 40 and accumulation system 148 for accumulating exposed print material 22.
