Description

! 5

The invention relates to a method for applying a binding margin to photographic images, in which on the back surface of the respective picture has a binding margin that protrudes over one of its rudders, which is used to staple the individual images, is glued.

In the large-scale production of photographic images in the photo laboratory, the individual images are transferred from negative or slide films or other originals onto an image strip. D ^; es can be up to 500 m long and, depending on the format, take up to about 5000 individual images. So far, these image strips have been cut into the individual images at the end of the automatic system that carries out exposure, developing and drying, which are then classified and packed in bags in no systematic order and delivered to the customer. Organizing and attaching the known adhesive strips to the individual images by hand in a photo laboratory, which produces many thousands of individual images every day, is not possible for economic reasons. So far, it has been left to each client or customer to sort the individual images received from the photo laboratory and, if necessary, to provide them with one of the known adhesive edges.

On the other hand, binding margins are known for filing documents, photos, cards and the like in ring binders or binders, in which a paper strip 4 is coated on one side with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, over which a plastic peel-off film is located. After removing the release liner, a document, photo or the like can be attached to the adhesive. ^{The r} > o part of the strips, which is not coated with adhesive, is prepunched for insertion in ring binders, folders, etc. or can be perforated or can be used for a book-like binding.

Compared to this prior art, the invention is based on the object, a method for ^{r> r>} attachment to transactions a binding margin to photographic images, which is easily and quickly executable and allows the normal production process integrate well in the darkroom with the photographic image making.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by «> that the binding margin at the edge of an image strip consisting of a large number of individual images glued on and that the picture strip together with the the stuck-on margin strips are cut through to form individual images, hi

This process advantageously inserts an additional process step into the phototechnical production process, which leads from exposure, developing and drying to cutting the photo paper roll, through which the edge strip on this photo paper roll, which after exposure, developing and drying becomes one of a kind Represents a large number of individual images and is attached. This image strip, together with the edge strip attached to it, is then cut into the individual images in the process step that follows anyway. The individual images occur in the order in which they were taken on the negative, so that the individual images belonging to a film can be stapled together by the photo laboratory in the intended order without any additional sorting.

The advantage is not only that the single image Existing edge strips allow the client a simple filing by z. B. the Edge strips perforates and inserts in ring binders, but beyond that the service of the photo lab is improved by providing the client with the individual images in the order in which they were recorded Handing over negatives in the form of a booklet and the loss of individual images when they are placed in shipping bags and during transport from the laboratory to the photo shop switch off kana However, there is also the option of punching holes in the marginal strips and individual images or in Insert ring binders. The client can also choose individual images with such a spine and take care of the order of the individual images and the type of filing yourself.

The production process in the photo laboratory is particularly simple, as there is only one edge strip on the image strip is attached and then then the usual cutting takes place, this edge strip will be cut up at the same time. The attachment of the edge strip can be done in different ways. The edge strip is preferably glued to the rear surface of the picture strip self-adhesive coating is provided, $ 0 is still a simple and sfcuberei work possible. In addition, if necessary, the binding margin can also be removed from the individual image if it is not is needed.

The edge strip for production from the roll can consist of various suitable materials. Preferably paper, cardboard or Plastic film into consideration. The protruding edge can vary depending on the requirements be wide. In practice, a protruding edge width of about 1 to 5 cm appears to be particularly suitable.

The object of the invention is explained in more detail in the drawing using an exemplary embodiment; it shows

F i g. 1 the production method of an edge strip attachment for a picture strip and

F i g. 2 several single images stapled together.

The image strip 1 has been exposed, developed and dried in the usual way. The successive images are labeled 2. The strip I is wound up in the usual way to form a roll of photo paper 3.

Before cutting the roll of photo paper 3 into individual images 8, a side made of paper, cardboard or a plastic sheet of existing edge strips 4 attached. In the case of the example guide, this edge strip 4 is unrolled from a roll 7. He's going to the The back surface of the picture strip 1 is glued in such a way that a protruding edge part 5 is present. The lower-

glued strip part 6 is in Fig. 1 by dashed line indicated. The attachment is preferably done by gluing. For this purpose, the edge strip 4 in Area of the under-glued strip part 6 to be covered with a self-adhesive compound. It is then only required to unroll the image strip 1 and the edge strip 4 from their rollers 3 and 7, respectively, to put against each other and to press against each other.

Then the one with the edge strips 4 provided image strips 1 cut into individual images 8 in the usual manner. This gives each individual image 8 an edge strip 4 with a protruding edge part 5. The width of this protruding edge part 5 can be adapted to the desired conditions. A suitable width for the protruding edge part is about 1 to 5 cm.

Of course, the edge strip 4 can also can be attached by an adhesive that is applied immediately before the application.

As shown in Fig.2, the individual images can with the help of the protruding edge part 5 are stapled together in a simple manner. According to the embodiment According to Figure 2 stapling ίο by means of staples 9 is provided. But there is also the possibility of gluing images to one another at their superimposed edge strips 4 or to provide a hole so that they can be inserted in binders or ring binders.
