[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a file for a negative cartridge suitable for storing a negative cartridge for an APS or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, along with the development of APS (Advanced Photo System), the means for storing the negative cartridge is being reviewed. The APS allows the user to load the film into a camera, request a print lab for development, and return the negative while the film is completely stored in the cartridge for the convenience of the user. This can be an epoch-making system that can fundamentally eliminate the burden of film loading and negative storage for the user, but the returned negatives cannot be directly viewed, so they are prepared in case of additional printing. There is a new need to store negative cartridges in association with index prints.

FIG. 6 shows a negative cartridge file 101, which is a recently developed negative cartridge storage means. The file main body 102 has a rectangular shape in plan view and is fixed inside the file main body 102. A cartridge housing portion 103 that holds a plurality of negative cartridges 106 that can be detachably attached; a lid body 104 that is openably and closably provided on the file body 102 to close an opening end 103a of the cartridge housing portion 103; The transparent cartridge 105 fixed to the outer wall portion 132 of the cartridge storage portion 103 and formed of a plurality of transparent flexible plastic films, and the negative cartridges 106 each containing the returned film cartridge. Stored in the storage pocket 133 of the storage 103 and related to The index print 107 can be stored in the transparent packaging bag 105.

Further, the cartridge housing portion 103 includes five rows of first wall portions 131 having a double wall structure having engaging portions 131 a that elastically engage with the core portions at both ends of the negative cartridge 106, and the negative portion. Four rows of the second wall portion 132 (the outer wall portion 132 described above is one of the wall portions) that holds the side portion of the cartridge 106 are arranged in a grid pattern to form 12 storage pocket portions 133. The wall portions 131, 132 are provided with notches 131b, 132b for facilitating gripping of the negative cartridge 106 stored in each storage pocket portion 133.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, if the transparent packaging bag 105 and the cartridge housing portion 103 are collectively provided on the side of the film main body 102 in this way, the transparent packaging bag 105 is covered and difficult to use when the cartridge housing portion 103 is desired to be used. Also, when it is desired to use the plastic film of the transparent packaging bag 105, the transparent packaging bag 105 can be used only in a state in which the transparent packaging bag 105 is attached to the cartridge storage unit 103, and it is inconvenient to put in or take out the contents, whichever is used. However, there is a problem that it is not easy to use.

Moreover, in such a conventional one, the notches 131b and 132b are provided in the wall portions 131 and 132 constituting the cartridge housing portion 103, and the negative cartridge 106 is provided in the first wall portion 131 among them. Since the engaging portion 131a for elastically engaging the cartridge is also provided, as a result, the engaging portion 131a is a cutout 131b portion of the first wall portion 131 that is lower than the thickness dimension of the negative cartridge 106. It will be located near the upper edge of. When the engaging portion 131a is provided at such a position, when the negative cartridge 106 is attached to or detached from the storage pocket portion 133 of the cartridge storing portion 103, only the engaging portion 131a has the double wall structure. It is difficult to push the negative cartridge 106 through the wall portion 131 of the negative cartridge 106 and to pass the negative cartridge 106 through the first wall portion 131 as shown in FIG. Become. Therefore, when the negative cartridge 106 is simultaneously mounted in the adjacent storage pockets 133 with the first wall 131 interposed therebetween, the deformation of the first wall 131 is suppressed, and smooth attachment / detachment work is likely to be hindered. There is also an inconvenience.

Further, in this structure, the second wall portion 132 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the file main body 102, and the first wall portion 131 is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the second wall portion 132, which is suitable for the engagement portion 131a. Since the double wall of the first wall portion 131 cannot be thinned in order to secure a proper holding state, there is a problem in that it cannot be dealt with when there is a demand for reducing the longitudinal dimension of the file body 102. is there.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, the cartridge storage section is provided on the file main body side, and the index storage section for holding index materials such as index prints is provided separately from the cartridge storage section inside the lid. , Respectively. Therefore, with the lid open, the cartridge storage portion and the index storage portion can be separated to a position where their mutual use is not hindered.
