Abstract
A slide mounter having positive stop film placement for inserting a film transparency from a photographic film web into a slide mount. In the apparatus of the present invention an insertion mechanism is included to insert a film transparency severed from the film web into the pocket of the slide mount. The operation of the insertion mechanism is controlled by a drive assembly which operates the insertion mechanism between a retracted position and an insertion position. Positive stop means is included to define the insertion position for the insertion mechanism. Further, motion absorbing means is included to absorb mechanical motion produced by the drive assembly after the positive stop means restricts movement of the insertion mechanism beyond the insertion position.
