ABSTRACT:
A film storage device, such as may be used for temporarily storing microfilm between a photographing section and a processing section in a unitary photographing/processing apparatus, in which the cut end of the film is prevented from being wound up onto take-up reel after cutting. First and second reels are rotatably mounted along an axis which is perpendicular to a rotatable shaft bearing the two reels. A rotary plate is connected to the shaft having a plane which is also perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. A drive belt is selectively engageable with the take-up reel or the rotary plate. The position of the drive belt is synchronized with a cutting mechanism. A stretchable elastic drive belt is laid between the take-up reel and a film guide roller. When the film is cut, elastic force accumulated in the drive belt is released, causing the take-up reel to rotate reversely, and thereby preventing the cut end of the film from being wound onto the take-up reel.
