Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable fixing of the front end of a photosensitive band material without folding said end by forming a notch to an upper wall part which constitutes a draw-out port. CONSTITUTION:This container has a cylindrical container body 1 and end caps 2 which seal apertures on both sides of the container body 1. The photosensitive band material 10 is freely rotatably housed into this container body. This material 10 is drawn to the outside from a draw-out port 3 consisting of an outside wall part 4 and inside wall part 5 formed to the container body 1. The notch 6 is formed to the outside wall part 4 in this case so that the front end of the photosensitive band material 10 can be exposed. Then, the container body 1 and the end caps 2 house the photosensitive band material 10 into the container in the light shielding state. The draw-out port 3 draws the photosensitive band material 10 to the outside and the upper wall part and lower wall part hold the front end of the photosensitive band material in approximately the drawing out direction. The front end of the photosensitive band material is thus fixed without being folded.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a container for a photosensitive strip such as photographic paper or photographic film wound into a roll.

[Conventional technology]

To provide a roll of photosensitive strip to a printer device,
The roll-shaped photosensitive strip is stored in a light-shielded container so that it can be attached and removed without exposing it to light in a bright room, and this photosensitive strip container is loaded into a printer device. The strip was pulled out and fed to a designated location on the printer.

Conventionally, such photosensitive strip containers include those shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. In these figures, reference numeral 21 denotes a container body, and this container body 21 is made of plastic and is formed into a rectangular cylindrical shape.A slit-shaped outlet 22 is formed at the corner of the container body 21, and the outlet 22 has a light-shielding property. A terem cloth 23 for holding is attached. End caps 24 are fixed to both side openings of the container body 21 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-36736).

Inside the photosensitive strip container, a photosensitive strip 10 is housed while being rotatably supported by a core 25, and its tip is pulled out from the outlet 22 and is brought into substantially close contact with the container body 21. It was bent so as to be fixed with adhesive tape 26.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in order to load the photosensitive strip into the printer device,
In order to send the photosensitive strip to a predetermined location in the printer, the leading end of the photosensitive strip must be held between transport rolls.

However, in conventional photosensitive strip containers, the tip is bent and curls, and when used, adhesive tape is attached to the container.
6 was peeled off, and the curl of the tip was corrected by hand so that the tip would fully bite into the conveyance roller, and the tip was cut off with scissors to make the part that would bite into the conveyance roller straight.

In addition, a separate attachment was sometimes attached to the curled tip and the tip was stretched straight.

As mentioned above, in conventional photosensitive strip containers, the tip of the photosensitive strip has curls, so unless this curl is removed or corrected using some technique, it will not completely bite into the conveyor roll and will not be loaded. Defects may occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a photosensitive strip container that can be reliably loaded as is without the need to modify the leading end of the photosensitive strip.

[Means for solving the problems] The present invention has been made to achieve the above objects, and
A notch is provided in the outer wall of the outlet so that the tip of the photosensitive strip can be fixed without bending and can be easily pulled out.

That is, the photosensitive strip container of the present invention has a cylindrical container body and end caps that close both side openings of the container body, and a photosensitive strip is rotatably housed inside these, In a container in which the photosensitive strip is pulled out from an outlet formed in the container body, which is formed of an outer wall and an inner wall, a notch is formed in the outer wall so that the tip of the photosensitive strip can be exposed. It is structured based on the characteristics of

The outer wall portion is located on the outer surface side of the side wall constituting the outlet, and has a notch formed therein. This notch is provided to expose the tip of the photosensitive strip held in the drawing direction by the outer wall and the inner wall so that it can be drawn out. Therefore, the position, size, shape, etc. can be changed in various ways as long as it is sufficient to pull out the material. For example, it may be formed on the front surface in the width direction of the photosensitive strip, or may be formed partially. In particular, it is preferable to form it at a portion that comes into contact with a conveyance roller of a printer device or the like, since it improves the operability of the loading operation.

Photosensitive strip materials include color photographic paper, photoresist, computer microfilm, computer typesetting photographic paper, and JI
It includes all strip-shaped photosensitive strips such as S135 type photographic film (Leica film).

Further, the light-shielding container includes all containers having a structure in which a photosensitive strip wound into a roll is stored around a core and the photosensitive strip is pulled out from an outlet. Examples include microfilm for computers, light-shielding containers for tX typesetting paper and color photographic paper, and JIS 135 type photographic film cartridges.

[Effect]

In the photosensitive strip container of the present invention, the container body and the end cap accommodate the photosensitive strip in a light-blocking manner, the outlet allows the photosensitive strip to be pulled out to the outside, and the earthen wall portion and the lower wall portion are The leading end of the photosensitive strip is held substantially in the drawing direction, and the leading end of the photosensitive strip is fixed without bending.
