space encloses in particular on a cartridge for electrophotosensitive material. . ' - , -

Cartridges of this type for receiving a spool-shaped strip of tape material are for photosensitive Material known. Such cartridges are sought to be substantially light-tight thereby they protect the material, and that they keep away from, simple, can be manufactured cheaply so that they are after Use of the tape material stored therein can be thrown away.

Well-known cartridges of this type are either with a lid . which can be completely removed to provide access to the material contained in the cartridge, or provided with a light-tight opening from which the tape material can be withdrawn for use.

Since it is not common, such cartridges also for the storage of the previously - ^ f ^au ^ entnommeneii sheet material after its use to use, the access ports in the known cartridges are not adapted to allow Wieäefeinfädelii of the material in the Paöronenl'nnere.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a cartridge of the type mentioned in the manufacture and _g both as a new storage without great effort;

e.g. tape to be inserted into a device as well as to resume it after use

is usable. For this purpose, to a cartridge with a [^ located therein material _Ψ is light-tightly sealed and formed so before the open his / that the tape taken from it and gegebenenfalls.verschmutzte in a simple manner and without requiring contact * by hand, for example, an operating path of a device, , removed and rewound into the cartridge with automatic guidance and then removed together with this. The cartridge to be created should be easy to open without difficulty - so that access to the tape contained therein is released and the tape can be removed. *

*. The object is achieved in a cartridge of the type mentioned according to the invention in that at the first end of the sheet strip ens. a flap is provided, which is used for _: light-tight closing of the cartridge compartment * a-.an. the second end of the sheet of paper covers the adjacent cartridge opening. ·

The cartridge according to the invention is provided to all of them Requirements. In the form of the flap, it is easy to open and with simple means in the closed state, however, light-tight access is created, which can be done by hand or without difficulty with appropriately designed devices in which the '.- /' cartridge. Can be used via automatically acting aids by grasping and folding down the The flap can be opened so that a contained tape-shaped material is drawn out of the cartridge can be. When rewinding a tape-shaped Material, the flap is used with its inner wall

Tape is so that there is a small clearance between the tape in the cartridge and the cartridge end wall portions. The length of the leaf strip 13 is selected according to the diameter of the end wall parts 11 and 12, so that the ends of the leaf strip when wrapped around the end wall parts in the manner shown in FIG. 2; The sheet strips overlap a little so that an upper end 14 and a lower end 15 are produced, as can be seen in the cross section in FIGS. 6 and 7. The strip 13 can consist of plastic , strong paper, thin metal ... 'or - other ^: flexible, durable, .und' relatively cheap sheet-like materials'. In certain cases it can be advantageous » _a vorge. formed sheet strips with a rotatable or foldable "part" to be used. When interweaving the special band If , it is advantageous that the material selected for the end wall parts 11 and 12 and the leaf strelves 13 of the cartridge consists of relatively " opaque material" so that an essentially light-tight cartridge is formed. °

At the. The arrangement shown in FIG. 2 are the longitudinal edges of the leaf strip 13. the circular peripheral surfaces of the end wall parts 11 and 12 along most of the Ömf angs of the end wall parts attached. This can be done by using glue or by means of soldering _t welding, ultrasonic joining. 7 ultrasonic soldering or welding or other known joining methods suitable for the materials chosen for the end wall portions and the leaf strip. The end wall parts can also be formed such that they are preformed with a

1 0983-2 / 10.80-

Leaf strips can be connected by nesting. Furthermore, the end wall parts can be connected to the sheet strip also be connected with the help of staples, rivets, nails or similar fasteners »

From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the sheet strip 13 is not connected to a smaller part M of the peripheral surfaces "of the end wall parts 11 and 12 and that therefore" a part of the sheet strip 13, which extends from its over-. extending from the lapping end. 14, forms a flap. F which can be folded away from the end wall parts 11 and 12. From Fig. 6 and 7 shows deÄIich_, ■ _ that the flap F above bzwT "first end 14 of the strip sheet 13 and also einen.Längenabschnitt of the sheet strip comprises, extending from the overlapped, that is, second end 15 of the blade strip" .- away further along the ürafangsf! See the end wall parts extends. When the flap part F of the sheet strip 13 is lifted from the end wall parts * · is inclined as in FIG. 8, a cartridge opening is thus provided for the entry and exit of a tape in the cartridge. · can across the a vane strip 13 has a notched transverse groove seia 16 provided as weakening line _f which facilitates the bending of the flap F of the end wall portions 11 and 12. FIG. It goes without saying that such a groove 16 formed as a line of weakness on the leaf strip should expediently coincide with the point at which the fastening of the longitudinal edges of the leaf strip ends with most of the circumferential surface of the end wall parts.

From Fig, 3 to 5 "it can be seen that the end wall portion 12 of the Cartridge 10 has a first wall part 20 which has a

ι Π3832 /

Mainly centrally arranged opening tin inside of the cartridge in which a drive pin 21 is rotatable is held. The drive pin 21 has drive webs 22 formed on the outer surface and on the inner surface an annular connecting flange 23, which has a cylindrical, inside the Cartridge extending drive core 24 is connected. '" Drive pin 21 and drive core 24 can be combined |

with further details of the cartridge., For example, be designed in such a way as is explained in more detail in the German patent application "Device for winding up strip-shaped material" by the applicant from June 19, 1970, ~ 2 ~ " '" Ζ7 ~ Ξ ~ 7 ·. The drive pin and the drive core play only one role for the cartridge shown here ^{: a} subordinate role ...

The end wall part 11 is provided with "'"__Z> a protruding part 28 which is advantageously shaped so that it has holding surfaces for holding the cartridge when used in a suitable device «

The tape-shaped material W can be wound with its rear tape end 2 first into a cartridge which is in a state as shown, for example, in FIG. 8, the flap F being at a distance from the overlapped second end 15 of the sheet strip is located. The tape-shaped material W is introduced into the cartridge by means of the flap F and is brought into a rolled-up state by means of the inner surface of the sheet tape 13. After the band-shaped material W has been wound so far in the cartridge that the front end 1 of the band-shaped material assumes a position , '. ■

09832 / 1C80

in which it is just outside the cartridge, the winding process into the inside of the cartridge is stopped. The flap F is then moved into its closed position, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 6 and 7, and a breakable seal, for example in the form of breakable strips 30, is applied to the flap F with the overlapped second end 15 of the To connect leaf stripper, whereby the flap F in its closed position in the manner as shown in Fig. 2 is maintained. It should be noted that the strips 30 connect the overlapping ends of the sheet strip at the corners so that they do not come into contact with the tape-shaped material W. The strips 30 can advantageously consist of easily destructible tape material or other easily breakable or separable connecting materials . ^l

The second, lower end 15 of the sheet strip 13 can be provided with raised bosses 31 SeIn ₄ - in order to prevent the tape-shaped material W from sticking to the cartridge as a result of certain electrostatic charges ^ T and to align the front end 1 of the tape-shaped material in such a way that it can easily be removed from the cartridge Cartridge can be pulled out o If desired, light-sealing material, e.g. in the form of a strip of friction material 32 CFig. 7), which extends across the sheet strip between the two overlapping ends 14 and 15. The strip can advantageously consist of plastic foam, for example polyurethane foam, which is easily compressible and which, if it is between , the overlapping ends of the sheet strip and the intermediate tape material is pressed together, both holding the tape end in frictional contact and a seal of the

Forms cartridge against incidence of light.

It can now be seen that "if one with a ribbon-shaped Material-filled and sealed cartridge received at their ends in, for example, a device and is moved against parts located in the apparatus, for example against parts 40 shown in Figs arranged to contact and break the closure, e.g., tabs 30, flap F through Destruction of the closure, e.g. the strip 30, is free becomes movable and move to the open position can. Further, the front end of the tape-shaped material W in the cartridge is from the Beltekraft that between the ends 14 and 15 of the sheet strip 13 is applied, relieved and released so that it is can be moved to pull it out of the cartridge. It can also be seen that after opening the cartridge and pulling it out of a band-shaped material * W which in its open Position.beindliche, flap F at the same time a guide forms ,. by means of a used tape-shaped material through the inlet and outlet opening, which is formed when the flap F is in the open position, into the Cartridge can be returned, see Fig. 8. A used tape-shaped material can therefore be used in the manner shown in Fig. 8 can be rewound into the cartridge 10 and removed without touching the band-shaped material on the part of the operator is required.

In the embodiment of the cartridge shown in FIG 50 has the end wall portion 51. a circular circumferential surface, on the one longitudinal edge of the sheet strip 53 in the manner already described in connection with the cartridge

1 Ö 9 8. £

10 is described, can be attached. Of the opposite longitudinal hand of the leaf strip 53 is attached in the same way to the opposite end wall part, which is not shown here. The cartridge 50 does not require a drive pin and drive core. It can be seen that in the case of the cartridge 50, the flap P of the leaflet 53, delimited by a groove such as a line of weakness 56 is, on the overlapped sheet part, i.e. to the second end by means of a point connection 54, for example an adhesive or by means of an ultrasonic connection is attached. This connection between the overlapping leaf parts is again designed so that it can be easily destroyed to expose the flap F and an inlet and outlet opening on the cartridge 50 in the manner already discussed above in connection with the description of the Cartridge 10 was explained to form. It understands itself? that the opposite end of the, not shown here Cartridge 50 is kept closed in the same way.

The arrangement of a cartridge 60 shown in Fig. 10 is similar to that shown in Fig. 9 , with the exception that ^: here a destructible band 64 for holding the cartridge flap F, which is delimited by a groove 66 on the sheet strip , is used in its closed position. This band 64 can be broken in the same way as already described or removed by wiping it over the end 61, whereby the flap F is transferred to its open position in order to facilitate the feeding out and in of the band-shaped material W. It goes _{without saying} that here, too, the opposite end of the cartridge ,, i

This is not shown, is formed in the same way as the end shown in FIG. 10 and is closed Position is held.

The cartridge 70 shown in Figure 11 is similar to those already described above? in this version the leaf strip 73 is completely on the circumferential surfaces along its "longitudinal edges! Ie 71 and 72 attached. There are weakened parts here, e.g. predetermined breaking points 74 on the leaf strip in the Proximity of the two end wall parts of the cartridge provided, which are approximately in the circumferential direction from the upper, overlapping The end of the leaf strip 73 extend over a length, which is sufficient to form a flap F which is broken off from the attached edge portions of the sheet strip 73 can be. Are the perforated or otherwise weakened areas74 as a result of movement of the Flap F is destroyed in the direction away from the cartridge, an inlet and outlet opening for the in the Cartridge 70 contained band-shaped material created and the flap F transferred to the position in which it serves as a guide when inserting the strip-shaped material.
