Abstract

This slide viewing magazine is composed of two transparent plastic films, which are sealed together in a grid like manner on a surface of approximately 50 x 90 cm in such a manner that many square pockets are formed, into which pockets is sealed at the top a straight, clotheshanger-like carrier having a hook. The size and number of the pockets correspond to the format of the slide mounts which are to be inserted. For a pocket size of 5.5 x 5.5 to 6 x 6 cm, up to, for example, 120 to 144 miniature format slides can be accommodated. By adding further pocket fields at the sides, the capacity can be doubled and trebled. The slide viewing magazine can also be divided into three or four subunits which can then be easily combined with the aid of a uniform, easily detachable combination system, attached to different carriers and individually archived film by film in special hanging stores. <IMAGE>

Description

Slide overview magazine 1. Field of application: The invention relates to a slide overview magazine with which, depending on the version, 120 to 360 framed slides of the format 24 x 36 mm at the same time next to each other and stored together can be.

Or when you look at the other participants wants to give this event the opportunity to order prints or copies. Or when you pick out individual slides from a large number of foreign or old slides target. Then it is very time consuming once you have the projector and the screen build up and run several cassettes or the slides individually take out the storage box and hold it up to the light.

To be able to do such work quickly and easily, asa; the Purpose of the invention.

3. State of the art: In most cases, slides are in boxes or projection cartridges in which 36 or 50 pieces are stored in a row There are also transparent magazines in A4 format in which 2o to 24 Slides visible next to each other liee'eii. There are also light cabinets in which on movable frames several loo slides and stored in front of a built-in Leur @ screen about 50 images can be viewed at the same time 4, criticism of the state of the Technology: In the slide boxes and projection cassettes, the slides are ready for projection arranged, but the image cannot be seen.

The picture is recognizable in the transparent magazines, @ber only a few slides fit inside. In the light cabinets Be: @@ there are many slides very clearly arranged, but @e @nd relati "" large and above all expensive.

Slide overview magazine 5. Task: The invention is the task based on creating a device that enables many slides as quickly as possible and to be able to view them comfortably at once, in which they are dust-free, space-saving and can be kept ready to hand at any time, which is easy to use and also costs little money.

6. Solution: The object is achieved according to the invention in that the Slide overview magazine from a 50 x 90 cm folder made of transparent or translucent plastic film, which is welded in the form of a grid two foils and by making slots in one of the two foils in many square pockets, the size and number of which vary according to the size of the different slide frame formats.

In the ideal width for storage in the wardrobe 48 - 50 cm it is: a) 12 pockets of 4 x 4 cm for frames of 3 x 3 cm (Hinox format) b1) 9 "" II 5.5x5.5cm n thin rows n 5 x 5 cm (small picture frame) b2) 8 "" 6 x 6 cm " thick row "5 x 5 cm (c) 6" "8 x 8 cm" frame "7 x 7 cm (middle shape.) d) 5 II "9,5x9,5cm" frame "8,5 xa, 5cm (ideal format) The number of rows of pockets among each other is variable and depends on the number of images per film; for the 35mm format e.g. 16 rows for b1) and 15 rows for b2) = 4 or 3 36 films.

The slide overview magazine can be hung up and held upright a straight, hanger-like strap with a hook in the middle.

7. Further configuration: By adding a) one on each side half and b) a whole 'slide overview magazine can double the capacity or tripled. The carriers of these "side panels" are with the central carrier movably connected by hinges, so that these slide overview magazines for archiving can be folded up to "cabinet format". The side supports don't have any Hook to. Hanging.

The slide overview magazine can also be made up of individual images corresponding to a film, be composed of sub-units. Slide overview magazine A slide overview magazine for 35mm slides then consists of either four sub-units With 36 pockets each (b1) or three sub-units with 40 pockets each (b2). An overview magazine fdr 6x6 slides is made up of three sub-units, each with 24 pockets for two films together, etc ..

The assembly of a slide overview magazine from individual sub-units is done with the help of a simple, easily detachable connection system, e.g. in In the form of a narrow snap-fastener strip, on the top and bottom of each sub-unit and on the Carrier attached and is identical for all subunit models.

The carrier is therefore not permanently connected to a sub-unit, but only via the connection system. He can even be the "normal'D, hanger-like Have shape, or be 2 to 3 cm longer and at the same time narrower and thinner, so that he has the subunit on both sides. towers. With this carrier, whose Ends are notched, and which has no hook but only an eyelet in the middle, it is possible to archive the sub-units individually in special hanging files.

The slide overview magazine can also be used for unframed slides in the film or can be used for negatives if the foil surface is not in, square Bags', but is divided into elongated pockets, then being in width not 8 or 9 pockets for framed slides sit: 3 but only one pocket for 12 to 13 unframed slides. The depth of the pockets depends on the width of the Films, i.e. 4cm for 35mm films. On an area of 50 by 84 or 96 cm, 7 or 8 films can be viewed and stored together. A subdivision of this slide overview magazine into individual sub-units for e.g. two 36s each lilme, and thus storage in hanging files, is also possible.

For archiving the slide overview magazines is best suited and cheapest a normal wardrobe with reinforcing rod Where such Archiving is not possible or is not desired, there is the possibility of to keep the slides in the sub-units in special hanging files that in their dimensions on the sub-units and in their suspension system on the two The types of carriers described above are approved, and built-in luminescent screens own.

Slide overview magazine 8. Achievable advantages: The one with the invention achievable advantages are that ...

a) the pictures of 3 to 10 35mm films are placed side by side at the same time can view, b) thereby the selection and composition for the projection is very simplified and accelerated, c :) also strangers the overview of a large image material is accepted, d) when searching no longer each slide individually must be taken in hand, but both hands can remain free, e) -die Acquisition and / or use of a light box becomes superfluous, f) for the simultaneous Viewing a lot of slides is not a big technical, financial and time-consuming effort is necessary, g) storage in a wardrobe is very convenient, inconspicuous, clear, space-saving and possible in every household at no cost, because 1200 slides take up no more space than a coat. A closet of width can Record up to 24,000 slides.

h) the cost-benefit ratio of the slide overview magazine because of the expected low material and manufacturing costs will be much more favorable than with all other 'slide storage and viewing systems, i) another slide overview magazine that can be composed of "sub-units" Usage and storage options open up, for example, the projection directly from the slide overview magazine or the sub-unit "without repacking in the cassette end - with the help of a modified microfilm reader, or film-by-film archiving in so-called hanging files, k) the number of 40 images / Sub-unit "or 3x40 images per slide overview magazine corresponds better to the actual number of images on a 36-mm film than the 36 or 50 compartments of the cassettes; because usually you get 2 or 3 more pictures on it than the specified 36, but never 5o1 slide overview magazine 9.
