Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a dental X-ray film package used for dental X-ray photography.

[Prior Art] When taking an X-ray photograph of a tooth, an opaque dental X-ray film package containing an X-ray film is placed in contact with the affected area in the oral cavity, and X-rays are irradiated onto it. A latent image of teeth is created on the X-ray film, the dental X-ray film package is removed from the oral cavity, and a developing solution is injected into it with a syringe, or the X-ray film is developed in a dark room. Means were used to produce an X-ray image of the teeth on top.

However, such means have disadvantages in that they require equipment and labor for injecting the developing processing solution, and also require a darkroom or the like. In order to overcome this drawback, a dental X-ray film package provided with a developing solution has been proposed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 16605/1983. The outline of its configuration will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of a conventional dental X-ray film package, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line .about. shown in FIG. In each figure, 1 is an X-ray film, 2 is a storage part that stores the X-ray film 1, and 3 is a developing solution 4.
An enclosing part 5 is a communication part that communicates the storage part 2 and the enclosing part 3. The communication portion 5 is formed to be elongated. Reference numeral 6 denotes a stopper detachably attached to an appropriate location in the communication section 5, and this stopper 6 prevents the developing solution 4 in the enclosure section 3 from flowing into the storage section 2 through the communication section 5. . A dental X-ray film package 7 is constituted by these.

At the time of X-ray photography, the storage part 2 is inserted into the oral cavity, and the enclosure part 3 is outside the oral cavity. After shooting, storage section 2
When it is taken out from the oral cavity and the stopper 6 is removed, the enclosing part 3 and the storage part 2 are brought into communication through the communication part 5. When the enclosing part 3 is pressed, the developing processing liquid 4 inside it is released.
Since the X-ray film 1 flows into the storage section 2, the X-ray film 1 is developed. When the X-ray film 1 is taken out after the development process is completed, an X-ray photograph of the tooth on the X-ray film 1 is obtained.

In this way, this dental X-ray film packaging body 7
does not require any developing equipment or darkroom,
The X-ray film 1 can be easily developed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Incidentally, in such a dental X-ray film package 7, it is essential to include the stopper 6. The stopper 6 must be removably attached to the communication section 5 and must have a mechanism for cutting off the communication of the communication section 5.
In this way, the conventional dental X-ray film packaging body 7
However, there was a problem in that the stopper 6 having these mechanisms had to be manufactured separately, and its structure was complicated and could not be manufactured at a low cost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a dental X-ray film package that solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, can be easily constructed, and can be easily developed.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a storage section for storing an X-ray film, an enclosure section for enclosing a developing treatment solution for the X-ray film, and a communication section for communicating the storage section and the enclosure section. , the communication part and the enclosure part are sealed by a sealing part, and the sealing part can be broken by a conductive member enclosed in the enclosure part.

[Effect]

The X-ray film stored in the storage section allows
After the line photography is completed, when the conductive member in the sealed part is pushed into the sealed part by operating from the outside of the sealed part, the seal of the sealed part is broken and the sealed part and the communicating part are brought into electrical conduction. By pressing the enclosing part, the developing processing liquid in the enclosing part passes through the part where the seal is broken and flows into the storage part through the communication part. As a result, the X-ray film in the storage section is developed, and an X-ray film on which an X-ray image of the tooth appears is obtained. Finally, the X-ray film is taken out from the storage section.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a dental X-ray film package according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line .about. shown in FIG. 1. In each figure, the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are designated by the same reference numerals, and their explanation will be omitted. In this embodiment, the storage section 2
The structure of the communicating part 5 is almost the same as that shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, but the structure of the enclosing part is different, and the stopper 6 is not used. That is, 1
0 is an enclosing part, and 11 is a sealing part formed at the boundary between the enclosing part 10 and the communication part 5. The sealing portion 11 is formed by slightly weak welding of the synthetic resin sheets on both sides that constitute the communication portion 5 and the enclosing portion 10 . A developing solution 4 is injected into the enclosing part 10 as in the conventional case, and the enclosing part 10 is sealed by a sealing part 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes a flat conductive member inserted into the enclosing part 10, the tip of which faces the sealing part 11. Reference numeral 13 denotes welding parts on both sides of the conductive member 12 for point welding the synthetic resin sheets on both sides of the enclosing part 10, and the conductive member 12 is positioned within the enclosing part 10 by these welding parts 13. Since the welded portion 13 is a point weld, the conductive member 12 naturally exists in the developing solution 4.
14 shows the dental X-ray film package of this example.

When the housing part 2 is inserted into the patient's oral cavity and X-rays are irradiated, a latent image of the teeth is obtained on the X-ray film 1 as described above. After the storage unit 2 is removed from the oral cavity, the X-ray film 1 is developed at an appropriate time. This development process is performed as follows. First,
The conductive member 12 is manually pushed into the sealing part 11 from outside the enclosing part 10. Since the sealing part 11 is welded with a rather weak welding force, the welding is peeled off by pushing the conductive member 12, thereby breaking the seal of the sealing part 11 and establishing electrical continuity between the enclosing part 10 and the communicating part 5.
Next, when the enclosing part 10 is pressed, the developing processing liquid 4 in the enclosing part 10 flows into the storage part 2 through the broken sealing part 11 and the communicating part 5. In this state, when the storage part 2 is lightly pressed several times to bring the developing solution 4 into even contact with the surface of the X-ray film 1, the X-ray film 1 is developed and an X-ray image is formed on the X-ray film 1. appears. Finally, the X-ray film 1 is taken out by cutting or tearing the storage section 2.

As described above, in this embodiment, a sealing part is provided between the enclosure part and the communication part by welding, and the sealing of the sealing part is broken by the conductive member inserted into the enclosure part, so the stopper is manufactured separately. There is no need to attach it using a lever, and the structure is simple and can be manufactured easily and inexpensively. Further, the development process can be easily performed because the sealing portion is simply broken with a conductive member.

In addition, in the description of the above embodiment, an example in which the sealed portion is formed by welding has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sealed portion may be formed using an adhesive with relatively weak adhesive force. Further, the conductive member may not be in the shape of a flat plate but may be in the shape of a thin rod.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the present invention, a sealing part is provided between the encapsulating part and the communication part, and the sealing part is broken by the conductive member inserted into the encapsulating part. There is no need for attachment and detachment, and the structure is simple and can be easily and inexpensively manufactured. Further, development processing can be easily performed.
