Abstract

A film carrier including a cartridge in a cartridge loading section, wherein a photographic film is wound around a cartridge winding shaft; a base section for processing the photographic film at a predetermined printing position on the photographic film; a transporting mechanism for transporting the photographic film on the base section after the photographic film has been pulled from the spool shaft; and a film accommodating section provided downstream from the base section, with respect to the cartridge loading section, wherein the photographic film is accommodated. A driving-force transmitting mechanism is rotated by a driving mechanism, which includes a rotating shaft provided to be rotatable relative to a spool shaft provided in the film accommodating section for winding the photographic film. When at least a predetermined rotating force is applied to the spool shaft in a direction opposite to a direction in which the photographic film is wound around the spool shaft, the spool shaft rotates relative to the rotating shaft in the direction opposite to the direction in which the photographic film is wound around the spool shaft. When the rotating shaft passes through an axial center of the spool shaft and the urging mechanism rotates together with the rotating shaft in the same direction, the urging mechanism urges and presses a block member provided on the rotating shaft in a state in which the block member can move in an axial direction of the rotating shaft.
