| Title: |
Light Color Control Apparatus |
| Abstract: |
The disclosed apparatus forms part of the lamp house in a photographic
enlarger. Three dichroic filters partially intercept a white light beam
emerging from a light source having an elliptical reflector. The filters
divide the beam into a white portion and an intensely colored portion. The
beam enters a mixing chamber wherein white-opaque side walls and a ceiling
coact with each other to mix the white and intensely colored light. The
light exits through a diffuser at the bottom of the chamber and passes
through a color slide or negative having a color image. An optical system
focuses the image on printing paper. Three pivotally mounted filter
holders support the filters in their respective positions. Three cams
movable by manually adjustable wheels control the positions of the
holders. A control arm engageable with all three of the holders
simultaneously draws the filter holders out of engagement with the cams
until the filters are removed from the beam. A regulating arm moves an
attenuator into the path of the beam.
