Abstract

The organizing case for photographs has a folded cardboard box (2) with a cover (1) having cells each receiving a negative which is pushed into place in the cell. The box has rows of compartments (3) defined by lateral walls. The compartments receive photographs vertically along with an index for the negative holding cells (4).

Description

Storage box for APS-format photographic film, index and photos not classified as photo albums The photographic laboratories have developed a completely new system, the system Advanced Photo System for cameras and films, these exposed films allow to obtain 3 different formats . After development, the APS format photographic film is rendered with the corresponding photos and indexes.

The problem underlying the invention was to create a camera storage box to allow common archival APS photographic film, indexes and photos not classified in photo albums.

This problem is solved by means of a storage case characterized in that it comprises a cover provided on its inner part with a layout of several cells for receiving the films and a box-type storage unit comprising vertical compartments suitable The present invention relates to a storage case, especially made of cardboard, of photographic film APS format, characterized in that it comprises - a cover provided on its inner part with a layout of several cells intended for each receiving a photographic film APS format inserted in force, - a set of box-type storage secured to the lid having vertical compartments contiguous to the side walls, the compartments being adapted to receive vertically photos and index corresponding to a cell of film determined. According to the particular embodiments - the cell arrangement is constituted by a support, especially made of cardboard, elevated lower than that of a photographic film APS format relative to the inner surface of the cover to define a space of storage of film inserted in force in each cell, - the cover has an increasing thickness including triangular shape to the front of the housing to release a space for access to the inside of the housing <B>, </ B > the cover being open, the box-type storage unit comprises side walls provided on their upper walls with recesses of the wall to cooperate in a complementary manner with the cover which is flush with the wall of the assembly of the storage assembly, the front portion being of lower height than the side walls to provide an access space, the lid being open.

The invention is explained in detail hereinafter only by way of example with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 represents a perspective representation of the embodiment of a storage case according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a closed photo storage case according to the invention, and Fig. 3 is a top view of the embodiment of an open storage case according to the present invention. The storage case shown in Figure 1 consists essentially of a lid (1), a box type storage assembly (2).

The box-type storage unit (2) has vertical compartments (3) able to vertically receive the corresponding photos and indexes. On the inside of the lid is a layout of several cells (4) intended to receive each photographic film format APS inserted in force.

The height of the cells (4) is smaller than the height of the APS-format films to allow the user to easily insert and remove his films, due to their particular shape.

The lid is designed to close the storage case without strain or load.

Figure 2 is a section of the storage case according to the present invention, closed.

 In the box-type storage unit (2), there are the vertical compartments (3) fixed on the walls of the housing.

In the closed state shown here of the storage box, the cover (1) is supported on the housing but is not fixed.

 Therefore, the cover (1) can open freely from the housing relative to the common edge thereof.

When the film cartridges APS format are inserted into the compartments, there is provided a film retention system against the fall when closing the lid 1.

Finally, Figure 3 shows a top view of the storage case representing the different cells for film APS format of the cover 1 and in the storage assembly 2, the various compartments 3 for the classification of photos all formats and index.

Claims (4)

1. A storage case including cardboard film film APS format, characterized in that it comprises - a lid provided on its inner part with a layout of several cells for each receiving a photographic film APS format inserted in force, - a set of box-type storage units pivotally attached to the lid having vertical storage compartments particularly contiguous to the side walls, the compartments being adapted to receive vertically photos and index corresponding to a cell of a determined film. 2. Housing according to claim 1, characterized in that the cell arrangement is constituted by a raised support of height lower than that of a photographic film APS format relative to the inner surface of the cover to define a space of storing film for each cell, the support being fixed to this inner surface of the lid. 3. Housing according to claims 1 or 2 characterized in that the side wall cover and front has an increasing height (e) including triangular shape to the front of the housing to release a front space for access to the inside the case; the lid being open. 4. Housing according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the box-type storage unit comprises side and front walls provided on their upper walls of recesses of the wall to cooperate in a complementary manner with the walls of the cover which flush with the outside walls of the storage unit.
