[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material for processing agents kit (processing agent kit or simply Kit both
Relates say), more specifically, it is easy to handle and apply the user, relating to the processing agent kit can save storage location.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials (hereinafter sometimes referred to as light-sensitive materials or photographic materials) are
After exposure, it is processed by steps such as development, desilvering, washing and stabilization. The black-and-white silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is fixed after exposure. The processing solutions for these processes are black and white developer, color developer, desalting process is bleaching solution, bleach-fixing solution,
A fixing solution is used for fixing, tap water or ion-exchanged water is used for washing, a stabilizing solution is used for washing with anhydrous water, and a stabilizing solution is used for dye stabilizing. Here, the treatment liquid refers to a liquid having a treatment function for performing each of these treatment steps. The temperature of each processing solution is usually adjusted to 30 to 40 ° C. and the light-sensitive material is dipped in these processing solutions for processing.

Usually, such processing is carried out by sequentially transporting the above processing solution in a processing tank containing an automatic developing machine. Here, the automatic developing machine (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an automatic processor) has a developing section, a fixing section, a desilvering section, a washing or stabilizing section, and a drying section, and each processing section is automatically and sequentially operated. It means a developing machine having a means for conveying a photographic light-sensitive material.

In the case of processing with such an automatic processing machine, a method of replenishing the processing agent in order to keep the activity of the processing solution in the processing tank constant is widely adopted. As this treating agent replenishing method, a method of preparing a replenishing solution in which the treating agent is dissolved is widely used. Specifically, a replenishing solution prepared in advance from a replenishing tank is supplied to the treating tank at appropriate time. I am trying to do processing work. The replenishing liquid itself stored in the replenishing tank is prepared and prepared in another place, but in a minilab etc. It is usually adjusted at once. Further, in its preparation, dissolution by hand or dissolution / mixing with a mixer is carried out, and the processing agent for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter sometimes referred to as photographic processing agent) used is in liquid form or It is commercially available in powder form. When used in liquid form, it is concentrated, so it is used by adding a certain amount of water and simply stirring and diluting it.In the case of powder, it is also prepared by manually dissolving it in a fixed amount of water before use. To be

Further, these concentrated solutions and powdery photographic processing agents are distributed and sold in the form of kits. Kit is 1
A plastic container or a bag-like packaging material is subdivided according to the amount that dissolves at one time, and one to several times is put into a cardboard box or the like as one packaging unit.

The replenishment processor kit may be divided into several parts for good and stable performance during photographic processing. 3 to 4 for color developers
It is divided into parts. The replenisher for the bleach-fixing solution for color is divided into parts of ferric salt of organic acid, which is an oxidizing agent, and parts of thiosulfate, which is a reducing agent. When making the replenisher, a concentrated part of ferric organic acid salt and a concentrated part containing thiosulfate are mixed and a certain amount of water is added for use. The concentrated parts described above are put in a container such as a plastic container, and are put together in an outer bag (for example, a cardboard box) to be sold as one unit.

Many types of this one unit are sold by the manufacturer, depending on the size of the developing machine used and the processing amount of the photosensitive material to be processed. Usually, each processing agent is divided, and for example, in the case of a processing agent for color negative, there are a color developing agent, a bleaching agent, a fixing agent and a stabilizer, and each processing agent is sold in a fixed unit.

Conventionally, the amount of replenishment differs depending on the treating agent, and the degree of concentration of the concentration kit also differs, so the size of the outer box also varies, and the amount (volume) of the replenisher that can be dissolved per kit also varies. . Therefore, the user has to order each of the seven types of processing agents for color negatives and color papers in accordance with the processing amount, and the size of each processing agent is different as described above, which is very troublesome.

The packaging unit of this kit is made to be suitable for preparing a replenisher by adding water to dissolve the unit.
Each treating agent is usually designed for the size of the refill tank. The replenishment tank is usually one automatic processor, and each replenishment tank has the same size because of design problems. Normal minilab models are equipped with a 5L to 20L size replenishment tank, and many kit sizes include 5L and 10L sizes. In addition, when dissolving the replenisher, the dissolved water is added to the mass-shaped pitcher by adding it, so it is necessary to determine the size of the replenisher according to the amount of water that can be measured by this pitcher. It was customary to determine the volume of the refill tank and pitcher.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned kit has color developing, bleaching, fixing, stabilizers, etc. When the color negative and the color paper are combined, they are packaged for each of 7 kinds of processing agents. Since different treatment agents must be ordered according to the treatment amount, the order is very complicated. In addition, since each kit is different and the box size is different, it was difficult to organize and needed a storage space when storing it in the minilab. Further, even when the processing agents are distributed, many kinds of processing agents are distributed, so that a mistake in the type is likely to occur and there are many troubles.

Therefore, packaging these kits in a unit for color negative treatment, color paper treatment, etc., has a great merit because the labor of ordering can be saved. However, since the replenishment amount is different even if it is packaged in the kit unit as it is, some will be used up early and some will remain, so replenishment equivalent to a certain area of the photosensitive material processing each processing agent Need to be packaged separately.

However, in the conventional type that dissolves the replenisher, it was difficult to match the replenishment tank and the pitcher capacity with this replenishment unit packaging. It is also very disadvantageous in that it takes time to dissolve the replenisher. Since, drawing water time, multiple par tool kit injection, if despite the above-mentioned bulk kit takes 4-5 minutes to dissolve per Including stirring time, during kit ends plurality of treatment agents Will disappear at the same time, and the dissolution will overlap, causing a problem.

In particular, during the most busy period such as Monday, when the operator overlaps with printing work, customer service, pumping of waste liquid, etc., the alarm is still sounding even after one melting, which is usually the case. Multiple overlaps. For example, four kinds of color development, bleaching, fixing, and stability must be dissolved at the same time, which may increase the burden on the user.

[0014]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a first object of the present invention is to reduce the troublesome user's work of ordering a processing agent. The second purpose is to reduce the stock space of the processing agent and save it, and the third purpose is to eliminate mistakes during processing agent ordering and speed up the distribution.
The purpose of is to provide a processing agent kit for silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials that realizes easy handling and transportation by users.

[0015]

The above objects can be achieved by the following constitutions. That is, (1) In a processing agent kit for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, which contains at least a first processing agent and a second processing agent, which are replenished in separate processing tanks of an automatic developing machine for silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials. A container for packaging at least the replenishment amount of the first processing agent and the replenishment amount of the second processing agent corresponding to a certain processing area of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material. To halo
A processing agent kit for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, characterized in that identification information and / or replenishment information regarding the processing agent read by an automatic processor for silver photographic light-sensitive material is provided. 2) For the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material described in (1), the solid processing agent for the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, which is a solid processing agent, is directly replenished to the processing tank independently of replenishing water. (3) The processing agent kit for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material described in (1), wherein the processing agent is a solid processing agent for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material.

The present invention is characterized in that the replenishment amount of each processing agent corresponding to a certain amount (area) of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is collectively packaged. Therefore, the effect of the present invention is not to dissolve the replenisher solution once using dissolved water, but to automatically supply the processing agent to the tank separately from water according to the processing amount of the light-sensitive material (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10 (1999) -135242). 5-1194
No. 54), it is more effectively exhibited. This is because it is possible to package a replenishment portion corresponding to a certain area of the photosensitive material as one unit without being restricted by the size of the replenishment tank or the capacity of the pitcher when the replenisher is prepared. Further, even when the kit is finished, it is possible to achieve simplification of ordering, management and storage of the processing agent without overlapping the dissolution work and complicating the user's work.

Further, the effects of the present invention are more effectively exhibited by the solid treating agent. This is because, in the case of the liquid drug kit, the necessary components are dissolved in water, so there is a limit to the solubility, and at the present time, it is dissolved by adding a large amount of water, and the volume and weight of the kit are inevitably large. turn into.

As described above, in the case of the liquid agent kit, the volume and weight of each treating agent kit becomes large, but the solid treating agent kit can be made lighter and more compact, and has a great advantage of being a one-piece kit. In addition, in the liquid agent kit, the concentration of the kit is regulated by the solubility, so that the volume cannot be controlled, and thus polybin containers having various volumes are used for the treating agent. Therefore, in the case of polybin containers of different sizes like this, when packaged in a package, a spacer or the like to prevent impact is needed inside, which further increases the volume, but in the case of solid processing agents, the effect of differences in polybin size etc. The effect of the present invention can be exhibited more effectively.

Further, if the liquid agent kit is a batch kit, the high alkali and reducing agent-containing part of the color developing kit and the strong acid and oxidant part such as the bleaching agent kit are packaged together, so that the liquid leaks due to a defective cap or the like. If it does occur, the risk is high, and it is necessary to devise packaging. In this respect as well, it can be said that the solid processing agent kit has high suitability for batch packaging.

Further, in the kit of the present invention, it is more preferable to give replenishment information (treatment agent feeding timing, treatment agent feeding amount, water supply amount, etc.) to each treating agent. As shown in FIG. 3 to be described later, for example, there is a method in which a bar code is printed on the cartridge set portion of a cartridge or the like containing a processing agent, and the information is automatically read and reflected in the replenishment sequence. There is also a method of loading a floppy disk into which information has been input for each package and reading the data into the automatic processor. 3 is a perspective view of the cartridge for containing the treatment agent. As shown in the figure, the cartridge 20 is formed into a rectangular tube so that the tablet J can be inserted therein, and a bar code 21 printed on a part of the outer frame of the cartridge is provided.
In addition, an incorrect loading prevention pin that prevents incorrect loading of the cartridge
22 are provided. A lid 23 is provided so that it can be opened when it is set in the charging device.

By adding the supplementary information in this way, it is possible to easily control the operations to be ended at the same time, which is more advantageous. Further, the kit of the present invention preferably has some kind of identification information for each treating agent. This is because it is necessary to load a plurality of kits into the automatic developing machine at the same time at the end of the batch kit, so that erroneous loading is likely to occur. The identification information may be simply the identification by color, but it is more preferable to use a system that does not depend on the identification of a person, such as a container shape that does not accept a barcode or a different treatment agent.

For the above reason, it is preferable that the processing agent container has a high one-touch property such as a cartridge type.
Further, in the kit of the present invention, it is preferable that the respective container shapes are similar in order to reduce the total volume of the kit when packaged in a package. For example, a cartridge having the same shape is preferable, but the shape of the identification portion may be slightly different.

Further, there is a product in which each processing agent is packaged in a disposable kit for amateurs, but since it is a disposable kit, there is no concept of the processing agent amount according to the processing amount of the light-sensitive material. It is customary that the pallets are packed in volume units.
The usage and purpose are also completely different.

In the present invention, " at least a first treating agent and a second treating agent" refer to at least two kinds of a plurality of treating agents necessary for one treating line. For example, in the case of color negative film processing, there are a color developing replenisher, a bleaching replenisher, a fixing replenisher, a stable replenisher, and the like. Among these, for example, a color developing replenisher and a bleach replenisher or a bleach replenisher and a stable replenisher. Etc. at least two types. In addition, the term "packaging in a lump" according to the present invention means packaging including at least two types as a product unit or a distribution unit.
Further, the "packaged processing agent kit" includes, for example, a developer, a bleaching agent, a fixing agent, a stabilizer or a developer, a bleach-fixing agent, a stabilizer in the case of a color photographic light-sensitive material ( However, a stabilizer is not required if the stabilizing treatment is not performed.) In the case of a black and white photographic light-sensitive material, there are a developer and a fixing agent, and at least two or more of these treating agents are collectively used. It is a packaged treatment agent kit . For example, a developer, a bleaching agent, a fixing agent and a stabilizer may be packaged together, or in order to reduce the weight, the developer and the bleaching agent,
By two types as the fixing agent and stabilizer may be packaged, only the developer and the bleaching agent may be collectively packaged.

In the present invention, "the solid processing agent for halogen photographic light-sensitive material is directly replenished to the processing tank independently of replenishing water" means the solid processing agent for halogen photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention.
It means that (also referred to as a solid processing agent) is once dissolved with replenishing water, and the processing agent of the present invention is directly added to a processing tank or a portion liquid-junctioned to the processing tank without preparing a replenishing solution.

Further, "powder" means an aggregate of fine-grained crystals, and "granule" means a granular material having a particle size of 50 to 5000 μm, which is obtained by adding a granulation step to powder. tablet"
The term "powder or granule" refers to a product obtained by compression-molding into a given shape. Further, in the present invention, the "solid processing agent" is a solid processing agent such as the above-mentioned powder, tablets, pills, granules, etc., except that the paste or slurry form is semi-liquid and is inferior in storage stability. Also excluded are those that are subject to regulations that entail the danger of. Among the solid processing agents, granules, pills,
Tablets are preferred, especially tablets.

Treatment using the solid treatment agent used in the present invention
As the size of the solid processing agent kit, which is a processing agent kit,
The total weight is preferably 1 kg or more and 50 kg or less, but 5 kg or more and 30 kg to reduce the work of ordering, save inventory space, and more effectively in terms of user handling.
The following are preferred.

Further, as the volume of the solid body treatment agent kit for use in the present invention, 10 dm by the weight and the same effect
³ or more and 80 dm ³ or less are preferable. It is more preferably 20 dm ³ or more and 50 dm ³ or less.

The solid processing agent kit of the present invention can be used for various light-sensitive materials such as color negative film, color negative paper, color reversal film, color reversal paper, direct positive film, and various black and white sensitizers. It can be used for materials.

EXAMPLES Examples of color negative film treating agents prepared according to the following procedures will be described.

Example 1 A kit as shown in Table 1 was prepared by comparing Konica Color Negative Film Replenisher Kit Type 52 for comparison.

[0032]

[Table 1]

A continuous processing experiment was conducted by using the above-mentioned processing agent in an automatic processor CL-KP-50QA for Konica color negative. Regarding Experiment IV, the automatic processor was modified, and an adapter and a pump were attached so that each processing agent could be directly fed from the container to the automatic processor. Further, a tank was separately prepared for replenishing water, and piping was re-installed so that water could be replenished from one tank to all tanks.

As a result of the above-mentioned experiment, in Experiment I which is a comparative example, the work is complicated because the treatments of each treatment agent are finished in different ways as shown in [Table 2].

[0035]

[Table 2]

Moreover, the volumes of the corrugated cardboard are different, and the storage space is taken up. Ordering must be done separately, which is troublesome.

In Experiment II, the kits of Experiment I were simply packaged in a single package. The end of each kit was different, and 303 fixing fixers had to be ordered as a new kit, whereas stable replenishers were Since there are 2000 lines, there is a problem that only the fixing agent is gone and the others remain.

In Experiment III, the quantity corresponding to 1000 pieces was packaged in a lump, and the result is as shown in [Table 3].

[0039]

[Table 3]

The color developing replenisher and the fixing replenisher do not match in pitcher size, and a plurality of pitchers must be prepared for preparing the replenisher, which complicates the work. In addition,
[Table 3] shows the kit for 1000 in Experiments III and IV. In addition, since all four kits must be dissolved at the end of 1000 pieces, it takes about 5 minutes to dissolve one kit, and as much as 20 minutes at a time, it becomes a heavy burden when busy.

Experiment IV of the present invention does not depend on the size of the pitcher because it is added directly to the treatment tank. Also, since the replenisher is not dissolved, even if the kit disappears at the end of 1000 bottles, all that is required is to insert the replenishment adapter into the kit, which is extremely advantageous.
