The file can be used to sell unexposed films which are subsequently stored in the same film after processing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter für eine Anzahl Kassetten, die ein bildtragendes Medium mit einer Vielzahl darauf aufgezeichneter Bilder enthalten und für Indexprintblätter, auf denen eine Vielzahl von Bildern abgebildet ist, die der Anzahl der Bilder auf dem bildtragenden Medium entsprechen.The invention relates to a container for a number of cassettes which contain an image-bearing medium with a plurality of images recorded thereon and for index print sheets on which a plurality of images are depicted which correspond to the number of images on the image-bearing medium.

Behälter für ein Indexprintblatt und die zugehörige Kassette mit dem bildtragenden Medium, beispielsweise eine Filmrolle, auf der sich eine Anzahl Negative befindet, sind bekannt, z.B. aus US 5 263 579.Containers for an index print sheet and the associated cassette with the image-carrying medium, for example a film roll on which a number of negatives are located, are known, e.g. from US 5,263,579.

Dieser Behälter schafft zwar die Möglichkeit, Negative und Indexprint, die zusammengehören, auch zusammen aufzubewahren, hat aber wegen des Hohlraumes für die Kassette eine schlecht stapelbare Form, so daß das Aufbewahren einer Vielzahl solcher Behälter aufwendige Vorkehrungen verursacht und sehr viel Platz beansprucht.This container creates the possibility of storing negatives and index prints that belong together, but because of the cavity for the cassette it has a shape that is difficult to stack, so that the storage of a large number of such containers requires complex measures and takes up a lot of space.

Diesem Nachteil hilft die vorliegende Erfindung ab.The present invention remedies this disadvantage.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Behälter für eine Anzahl von Kassetten und für die zugehörigen Indexprints aus einem Kasten (A) und einem dem Kasten (A) in Länge und Breite entsprechenden Deckel (B), wobei der Kasten (A) einen Einsatz enthält, der eine Anzahl von Ausnehmungen aufweist, in die eine gleiche Anzahl von Kassetten eingesetzt werden kann und der Deckel (B) eine Vertiefung besitzt, die tief genug ist, und in Länge und Breite ausreichend groß ist, um eine Anzahl von Indexprints aufzunehmen, die der Anzahl der Kassetten, die der Kasten (A) aufnehmen kann, entspricht.The invention relates to a container for a number of cassettes and for the associated index prints, comprising a box (A) and a lid (B) corresponding in length and width to the box (A), the box (A) containing an insert which has a number of recesses into which an equal number of cassettes can be inserted and the cover (B) has a recess which is deep enough and is large enough in length and width to accommodate a number of index prints that the number the cassettes that the box (A) can hold.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Preferred embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Die Kassetten haben beispielsweise annähernd zylindrische Form mit einem rund bis ovalen Querschnitt. Bei einer Höhe von etwa 4 cm, einem ovalen Querschnitt mit einem größten Durchmesser von etwa 3 cm können in einem Behälter von der Größe einer CD-Kassette leicht bis zu 6 Kassetten untergebracht werden, die in die Vertiefungen des Einsatzes eingelegt werden. Die Vertiefungen sind so gestaltet, daß die Kassetten mit geringer Kraft hineingedruckt werden müssen und sich von selbst nicht wieder lösen können. Sie ragen aber so viel vor, daß sie leicht gefaßt und wiederum mit einer geringen Kraft herausgelöst werden können.The cassettes, for example, have an approximately cylindrical shape with a round to oval cross section. With a height of about 4 cm, an oval cross-section with a largest diameter of about 3 cm, a container the size of a CD cassette can easily accommodate up to 6 cassettes, which are inserted into the recesses of the insert. The depressions are designed that the cartridges have to be pressed in with little force and cannot come loose by themselves. But they protrude so much that they can be easily grasped and, in turn, released with little force.

Die Ausnehmungen können unterschiedlich gestaltet sein und so die annähernd zylindrischen Kassetten stehend oder liegend aufnehmen.The recesses can be designed differently and thus accommodate the approximately cylindrical cassettes standing or lying.

Die für die Indexprintbehälter übliche Größe von 9x13 cm, 10x15 cm, 9x16 cm bzw. 10x18 cm erlaubt, daß der Behälter die gleiche Breite wie eine CD-Kassette und gegebenenfalls eine geringfügig größere Länge aufweist, so daß übliche Gestelle zum Aufnehmen von CD-Kassetten auch zur Aufnahme der erfindungsgemäßen Behälter geeignet sind.The usual size for the index print containers of 9x13 cm, 10x15 cm, 9x16 cm or 10x18 cm allows the container to have the same width as a CD cassette and, if necessary, a slightly longer length, so that conventional frames for accommodating CD cassettes are also suitable for receiving the container according to the invention.

Da die Anzahl der in einem Behälter aufbewahrten Kassetten und Indexprintblätter nicht übermäßig groß sein soll, vorzugsweise 4 bis 8, und zusammengehörige Kassetten und Indexprintblätter über eine gemeinsame Kennzeichnung, beispielsweise eine Nummer oder einen Barcode zugeordnet werden können, stellt der erfindungsgemäße Behälter eine sichere und raumsparende Archivierungsmöglichkeit für fotografische Negative, die sich in einer Kassette befinden, und zugehörige Indexprints dar.Since the number of cassettes and index print sheets stored in a container should not be excessively large, preferably 4 to 8, and associated cassettes and index print sheets can be assigned via a common identification, for example a number or a bar code, the container according to the invention provides a safe and space-saving Possibility to archive photographic negatives, which are in a cassette, and associated index prints.

Figur 1 zeigt die perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Behälters für 4 Kassetten.Figure 1 shows the perspective view of a container according to the invention for 4 cassettes.

Figur 2 zeigt eine andere Ausführung für 8 Kassetten.Figure 2 shows another embodiment for 8 cassettes.

Der Behälter (1) besteht aus dem Kasten A (2) und dem Deckel B (3), die an einer Seite (4) scharnierartig miteinander verbunden sind.The container (1) consists of the box A (2) and the lid B (3), which are hinged together on one side (4).

Der Kasten A weist einen Einsatz (5) auf, der eine Reihe von Vertiefungen (6) enthält, in die Kasetten (7) mit fotografischen Negativen eingesetzt werden können.Box A has an insert (5) which contains a series of depressions (6) into which cassettes (7) with photographic negatives can be inserted.

In den Deckel (3) werden unter den Steg (8) die zugehörigen Indexprints eingeschoben.The associated index prints are inserted into the cover (3) under the web (8).

Der Deckel (3) kann aber auch eine Vertiefung (9) aufweisen, in die die Indexprints (10) eingelegt werdenThe cover (3) can also have a recess (9) into which the index prints (10) are inserted

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dient der erfindungsgemäße Behälter auch als Verkaufsverpackung für unbelichtete Filme. Da diese Filme üblicherweise noch eine Umhüllung um die Kassette enthalten, um den Zutritt von Luft und insbesondere Feuchtigkeit zu verhindern, können sie ein größeres Volumen aufweisen und passen dann nicht in die Vertiefungen. Für diesen Fall ist der Einsatz so gestaltet, daß er umgekehrt in den Behälter eingesetzt entsprechend größere Vertiefungen für unbelichtete Filme aufweist.In a preferred embodiment, the container according to the invention also serves as sales packaging for unexposed films. Since these films usually still contain a wrapping around the cassette in order to prevent the entry of air and in particular moisture, they can have a larger volume and then do not fit into the depressions. In this case, the insert is designed so that, conversely, it has correspondingly larger depressions for unexposed films when inserted into the container.

Kasten A und Deckel sind so gestaltet, daß sie beim Schließen des Behälters leicht miteinander verrasten, damit der Behälter sich nicht von selbst öffnet, aber mit nur geringer Krafteinwirkung geöffnet werden kann.Box A and lid are designed so that they easily lock together when the container is closed, so that the container does not open by itself, but can be opened with only a small amount of force.

Der Behälter ist vorzugsweise aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff und insbesondere transparent, damit von außen sichtbar Informationsblätter eingelegt werden können.The container is preferably made of thermoplastic and in particular transparent so that information sheets can be inserted from the outside.

Der Behälter nach Fig. 2 hat beispielsweise eine Länge von 19 cm und eine Breite von 12,5 cm; die Indexprints die Abmessung 10 x 18 cm.2 has a length of 19 cm and a width of 12.5 cm; the index prints measure 10 x 18 cm.
