DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an album in which a plurality of pocket albums having a uniform design are housed in an outer box of the same design and sold as a set (hereinafter referred to as "boxed album"). The technical feature of the present invention is that the film cartridge storage device used in the new photo processing system described below can be stored in an outer box together with the pocket album.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a plurality of pocket albums, each having a common cover and a common character and a fancy tone, are collectively stored in a similarly designed outer box and sold as a set. In the form of
There is a so-called boxed album. This kind of album is
Currently, it is widely used because a large number of printed photos can be easily and efficiently arranged and stored.

In order to arrange print photographs and negative films returned from a DPE agency or mini lab at home, the print photographs are stored and arranged in the above-mentioned pocket album, but are stored in a flat negative sheet. At present, the obtained negative film is stored in a negative pocket bound together with the mount of the album, or only the negative film is separately stored in an empty box or the like. Therefore, in the latter case in particular, there is a possibility that the negative film is dissipated.

[0004] In recent years, a new photo processing system called an "advanced photo system" has been proposed. This new photographic processing system uses a small new film instead of the conventional 35 mm film, and shoots using a camera compatible with the film, and the film is stored in a special cartridge. The developed negative film is not stored in a negative sheet and returned as in the conventional case, but is returned to the customer in a state of being stored again in a long length in a film cartridge.

[0005] For this reason, since the customer cannot directly check the contents of the negative film as in the conventional case, a unique ID number is assigned to each cartridge, and all the images and images taken for each negative film are provided. An “index print” in which this ID number is printed on photographic paper is to be attached. Thus, when the customer orders a photo reprint at a later date, the customer will place an order with reference to the ID number and the index print.

[0006]

Therefore, it is preferable to store the print cartridge, the index print and the negative film cartridge together as much as possible. However, in a conventional boxed album, the storage space of the three-dimensional and bulky cartridge is limited. I did not expect it.

According to the present invention, a storage device containing a plurality of film cartridges can be stored together in an outer box of a boxed album in correspondence with the above-mentioned new photo processing system. It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive boxed album in which cartridges can be stored together.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a boxed album in which a plurality of pocket albums are stored in an outer box, wherein a film cartridge storage is further stored in the outer box. It is.

That is, the storage device is provided with a plurality of storage recesses for the film cartridge on the upper surface of the base plate, and the cover covering the storage recesses is provided so as to be able to open freely, so that the appearance is the same as that of the pocket album. The means of storing in a box is adopted.

A base plate having a plurality of storage recesses for the film cartridge is provided at an open end inside one cover, and a plurality of storage pockets for storing index prints are further stowed inside the base plate. A tool was constructed, and the appearance was stored in the outer box together with the pocket album in the same appearance as the pocket album.

Further, a means is employed in which the storage tool is retractably stored above or below the pocket album in the outer box.

In this case, a partition plate for separating the pocket album and the storage device is provided inside the outer box, or a means for holding and taking out the film cartridge is provided in the storage recess.

In the boxed album of the present invention having the above-described structure, the album (printed photograph and the like) and the storage device of the film cartridge can be always arranged and stored together, so that the dispersal of the negative and the like can be prevented, and only the outer box is changed. Thus, it is possible to easily and economically migrate from a conventional boxed album.
