ABSTRACT:
A film winder which can stop the rotation of a film winding spool at a constant position. The film winder has a drive pin for rotating the spool in a film cartridge. The drive pin carries a gear having a boss formed with a flat engaging portion on its outer periphery. A stopper member is provided which can pivot and engage the engaging portion. The spool is rotated by the drive pin to wind film around the spool. After a film detection sensor provided near the opening of the cartridge has detected the passage of the film tip, the stopper member is pivoted toward the boss and engages the engaging portion of the boss, thus stopping the drive pin. The spool can thus be stopped at a constant position.
