ABSTRACT:
A storage jacket-film strip segment insertion apparatus having enhanced strip viewing and ease of use capabilities. A platform assembly having a tray is provided for receiving a storage jacket into which film strip segments are inserted by an associated film strip feed head. The tray is light-translucent or transparent to allow the jacket to be back-lit for viewing or copying through a provided transparent tray cover and projection lens. The tray and feed head are movable with respect to one another to provide feed head access to various portions of the storage jacket and a track assembly is provided attached to the tray for positive engagement and alignment of the tray with the feed head. The tray cover is attached to the platform assembly in such a manner as to cause the track to disengage from the feed head when the cover is raised, allowing the tray and feed head to be repositioned with respect to one another. A pair of viewing apertures are provided in the feed head lying within a common plane so as to be viewable without refocusing of the projection lens. The tray cover and light transparent covers provided over the apertures form a common plane for supporting the projection lens at the same predetermined distance over a storage jacket on the tray and film strip on the feed head thereby minimizing refocusing requirements. The tray and feed head assembly are movable with respect to the lens so that all portions of the jacket and the viewing apertures in the feed head are accessible.
