Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photographic film container for accommodating a cartridge in which a developed film is wound and stored together with a photographic print and an index print.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case where a photographed film is brought into a DPE store, an image is printed on a photographic paper and developed, and then the developed film and a print are handed to a user, FIG.
It is in the form of 3.

That is, the developed film 102 is cut in units of 6 frames and inserted into a negative sheet 104, the negative sheet 104 and the photographic print 106 are overlapped and placed in an inner bag (print bag) 108, and an order and a shipping slip are added. Since these are put in the attached outer bag (DP bag) 110, the external shape becomes a planar shape.

On the other hand, when the developed film is wound up and stored in the original film cartridge (see FIG. 3) or a separately prepared film cartridge and the film is returned in the state of being put in the cartridge, When the cartridge is placed in the print bag or the DP bag while being stacked with the prints, various problems occur because the cartridge is not properly stored in the print bag or the DP bag. That is, while the photographic prints that are stacked are flat,
The film cartridge has a cylindrical shape, and the arrangement thereof is not constant in the bag, which is inconvenient to carry and store, and the bag may be torn or the print may be directly or indirectly damaged.

On the other hand, when requesting reprinting of a specific image, it is necessary to clarify the specific image by the frame number. At this time, it is convenient to use an index print (see FIG. 4) in which all the images on the film are printed on one sheet of photographic paper with frame numbers. In particular, when the developed film is stored in a cartridge and stored in a roll without being cut between frames, index printing is effective for quickly identifying the frame number. That is, the image frames of the film cannot be seen when the film is wound up in the cartridge, but even in this state, if there is an index print, it is not necessary to pull out the film from the cartridge and search for a specific image on the film.

However, the index print is also flat and has the same inconvenience as storing the photographic print together with the film cartridge.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In consideration of the above circumstances, the present invention is suitable for carrying and storing even if a film cartridge containing a developed film and a print and a print such as a photographic print or an index print are stored together.
