SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
This class includes structure motion picture cameras, which
record motion picture cameras, upon a single actuation a series
of individual photographs which are separated in time. Generally
the recording rate is related to the persistence of vision when
the photograph series is used to accurately portray an action. However,
special types of cameras are included which record the picture series
at rates differing greatly from the normal persistence of vision
time so as to produce a series of pictures of utility other than
the creation of a motion illusion or to create a motion illusion
with the rate of motion greatly exaggerated.
Included in this class are exhibitors which display motion
pictures and the motion picture carriers for use in the exhibitors.
The exhibitors may display the motion pictures by either affording
the viewer a direct view of the pictures with or without the aid
of optical magnifiers, or optically projecting a real image of the
pictures on a surface which is visible to the viewers. The exhibitors
display the individual pictures of the motion picture series sequentially
at such a rate that due to the persistence of vision of the viewer
an illusion of motion is created. The individual pictures of the
motion picture series may be carried on an opaque or transparent
base, which may be in the form of a strip, a disc, a drum or individual
plates.
Motion picture cameras and/or projectors with perfecting
structure are also included in this class. Examples of this perfecting
structure are, sound accompaniment, natural color structure, stereoscopic
structure, panoramic structure, special effect producing structure,
special optical structure permitting plural fields of view, removable
magazines, film rewinding structure, focusing structure, automatically
controlled diaphragms, plural lens selectors, film strip fire prevention
and isolation structure, loop formers, structure for framing and/or eliminating
travel ghosts, special housings, and special supports.
Plural arrangements of motion picture apparatus, and motion
picture apparatus which is combined with or convertible to other
devices are also provided for in this class. Examples of such apparatus
specifically provided for are sound accompanied motion picture apparatus with
selectively operable plural records, recorders, or reproducers;
motion picture apparatus combined with a manned vehicle; and motion
picture cameras which convert to motion picture projectors or still
cameras.
Subcombinations of motion picture apparats not otherwise provided
for, such as film gates and motion picture shutters, are included
here.
Included also are certain accessories related to motion picture
apparatus such as sound stages, prompting devices, attachments and
sets for the production of special effects, and film treating and
working apparatus.
Methods of recording and exhibiting motion pictures, methods
of using motion pictures for other than the creation of a motion
illusion for entertainment such as for the analysis of motion, and
methods of carrier treating and working are included here.
SECTION II - LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
MOTION PICTURE APPARATUS CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE
Certain devices which are quasi-motion picture in nature are
not classified here. Certain picture exhibitors in which a portion
of the picture is made so as to move or to create an illusion of
motion but without the sequential presentation of individual pictures
are classified in Class 40, Card, Picture, or Sign Exhibiting especially
subclasses 427+. Cameras which convert an optical image
to an electrical analog for electrical storage (e.g., magnetic tape)
and exhibitors which operate from such an analog are classified
in Class 348, Television, subclasses 207+ and 739+.
MOTION PICTURE COMPONENTS AND SUBCOMBINATIONS CLASSIFIED ELSEWHERE
Intermittent feed mechanism of the type used in motion picture
devices are classified in Class 226, Advancing Material of Indeterminate
Length, especially subclasses 52+, if they are of general
utility. Reeling and unreeling means of the type employed in motion
picture devices are classified in Class 242, Winding, Tensioning,
or Guiding, subclasses 324+ for a holder (e.g., spool,

for winding machines and 68+, for holders and holder-supporters
of general utility, respectively.
Stands for motion picture projectors without specific cooperation
with the projector are classified in Class 248, Supports, subclass
637. For alarms responsive to breakage of motion picture film see

film carrying a mere series of colored pictures not in motion picture
sequence is classified in Radiation Imagery Chemistry: Process, Composition, or
