ABSTRACT:
A photographic slide mounter cuts photographic film transparencies from a photographic film web and inserts the transparencies into slide mounts. A slide mount is advanced along a slide track to a position adjacent a knife where the slide mount is flexed to provide an insertion opening. The film web is advanced along a film track until a leading end of the web is partially inserted into the insertion opening. A first plurality of rollers are positioned over the film track and a second plurality of rollers are positioned under the film track to prevent transverse curl of the film web as it is advanced toward the insertion opening. A pair of curved shoes is mounted over the film track proximate the knife to prevent longitudinal curl of the film web as it is advanced through the knife and into the insertion opening. The knife is provided with tapered portions to align the web as it passes the knife. After the transparency has been severed from the film web by the knife, the partially inserted transparency is engaged and inserted fully into the slide mount as the slide mount and transparency are advanced away from the film track. The slide mount insertion opening is maintained in a flexed open position as the transparency is engaged and fully inserted by a slide mount spreading means having a flared portion. Once the film transparency has been fully inserted into the slide mount, the slide mount insertion opening is allowed to close.
