Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a print photographic storage for storing a new style cartridge-containing film, an index print and a print photographic integrally when the negative film is rewound into a cartridge and returned to a customer together with the print photographic. Regarding the case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A new type of cartridge-containing film in which a negative film after development and printing is rewound into a cartridge and returned to a customer has been developed, and activation of the film market has been attempted. This film with a cartridge is intended to improve the handling for the end user and to rationalize the processing work in the photographic processing process. When a DP agency requests development and printing, the film is unwound at the processing station. After processing, the film is generally printed to a desired size and the film is rewound into a cartridge and handed to the customer together with the print.

In the case of returning the above-mentioned film in a cartridge of the new style to the customer together with the print, if it is simply put in the thin rectangular DP bag as it has been, there is a problem in strength, and it is projected by the cartridge. There is a problem in that the bag is torn from the portion to be covered, the DP bag is considerably deformed, and the appearance and handling are deteriorated.

As one method for coping with this, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-242242
A print photograph storage case according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 110567 is proposed. This photographic storage case has a bulging and curved center made of a paper sheet, has a cylindrical main body case having a print photographic storage portion and a cartridge storage portion, and is provided with a flap for covering them. A hollow for inserting the cartridge is formed in a part of the cylindrical main body case, and both the print photograph and the cartridge are stored therein.

[0005]

By the way, the new style cartridge film not only improves the handling property and reliability for the end user, but also improves the workability of the developing / baking process after it is accepted by the DP agency. It is different from the old Patrone format photographic film in various ways, such as storing the film in the cartridge even after returning the printed photo to the customer. However, if the reprint photographs from such cartridge film, the film can not or collation reprint any piece because it is involved in the cartridge.

As a measure against such a collation convenience, when the photographic print and the cartridge film are returned to the customer, the index print may be returned together, but at the time of reprinting, the cartridge film and the index print are bundled together. If it is not, it is expected that the work load on the photographic processing process will increase because the serial number verification work will have to be performed during the print frame verification and the printing process.

In the photo storage case according to the above publication,
It didn't even mention the need for index prints, nor did it mention the inconvenience of reprints.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned new problems when using the above-mentioned new style cartridge film, and from the viewpoint of the end user, the problem of reconfirmability at the time of reprinting of photographs. The cartridge film, index print and photographic print will be stored in the same storage case, and the storage case will improve the reconfirmability, increase the added value, improve the handleability, and simplify the storage space. An object is to provide a printed photo storage case.

[0009]

As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides a cartridge storage unit for storing a film containing a cartridge in a sheet-shaped storage case and an index print storage unit for storing index prints outside the storage case. And a print photograph storing section for storing print photographs are integrally provided, and the cartridge storing section has an opening opened at a predetermined position of the storing case, and the cartridge storing body is fitted into this opening and the cartridge storing body is opened from the opening. That is, the printed photograph storage case is provided with the retaining means.

With such a storage case, when the print photograph is returned to the customer, the print photograph, the film with the cartridge, and the index print are wholly contained in one bag.

At the time of use, the cartridge is put in the cartridge storing section, and then the print photograph is put in the print photograph storing section and the index print is stored in the index print storing section outside the storing case. The index print is prepared in advance in order to help reconfirm each frame content of the film and determine the frame to be reprinted when reprinting because the entire length of the film is wound in the cartridge in the new style cartridge. .
Therefore, it is desirable that the index print be stored with the film in the cartridge.

As a result, the print photograph, the film with the cartridge and the index print are handled together, and the convenience of handling and carrying is improved, and the index print can be stored with the film with the cartridge for reprinting, and reconfirmation at the time of reprinting can be performed. It is easy and leads to improved workability.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the print photograph storage case of the first aspect of the present invention, the cartridge storage body is a pair of open box-shaped body having retaining plates on both sides thereof, and the pair of the retaining chambers can be bent freely at the ends of the retaining plates. It is configured to be opposed to each other.

By using such a cartridge storage body, the cartridge can be securely stored in the storage case and can be carried.
