Beebe and Murray, Patent No. 1,587 ,274, filed June 1, 1926.
In accordance with the present invention, a light-sensitive medium is prepared by incorporating in one of the cellulose esters a small percentage, of a suitable sensitizer. Preferably. the sensitizer employed is an organic halogen compound capable of liberating halogen under the action of light. Iodoform may be employed advantageously for the purpose, and may be considered typical of the best type of sensitizer for the purpose of this invention. V
Another feature of the invention pertains to thedevelopment of the imageor print after the light-sensitive film has been selectively acted upon by light in accordance with an image, design or character transmitted or projected thereom Here. it is found that a print produced in a sensitized solut1on of a cellulose ester can be developed by immersing it in a standard silver-reducing solutlon,
for example. The same is found to be true Application filed March 15, 1926. Serial No. 94,989.
'with respect to light-sensitive media prepared from synthetic resins as described in certain of the applications referred to above. Itseems to be true that the use of a halogen sensitizer in these substances enables the silver-reducing solution to function more effectively than where such a sensitizer is not employed. For example, the furfuralethyl-methyl ketone resin described in patent 1,587,269, mentioned above, produces a print which Will not receive a deposit of silver efiectively unless the medium has been sensitized, as, for example, with iodoform. On the other hand, a solution of such a resin is sufiiciently light-sensitive to quickly produce a good print without the use of a sensitizer, and such print may be developed in benz'ine.
In accordance with the present invention, a light-sensitive medium may be produced by sensitizing cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, or other cellulose esters by means of a small percentage of an organic halogenliberating compound, such as iodoform.
If desired, iodine, or other halogen, may be introduced into the medium. This, course may be followed, for example, where metal salts, such as lead tungate, or the like, are introduced into the compound. In such case, when a solution of a halogen, such as iodine,- is introduced, the halogen combines with such salts to form metallic halides. halides may be suspended in the solution in the form of colloids and may operate to liberate halogen under the action of light. In place of iodoform, any suitable halogensubstituted hydrocarbon may be employed as asensitizer.
Asan example of the manner in which a light-sensitive medium may be produced by employing a cellulose, ester, the following is given:
Add to 150 cc. of collodion 1% iodoform. This may be introduced in any desired manner. The sensitizedvmedium thus produced may be applied as a film to any desired surface, and when exposed to the selective action of light in accordance with an image, design or character, the portion of the film most strongly effected by the light will be These.
transformed, or will undergo some kind of reaction, so that an image is produced in the film. The image may be projected upon the film before it is thoroughly dry by means of an are light acting through a transparency; or the light may be transmitted through a transparency which is in contact with the film after the film has been dried. It is found that an exposure of from fifteen seconds to one minute suffices to produce a print.
The print may be developed by immersing it in a silver-reducing solution which may comprise amixture of two solutions, as follows:
Solution A.Add 11 cc. of a 10% solution of silver nitrate to 10.4 cc. of a 10% solution of ammonium hydroxide; dilute the mixture to 60 cc.
Sobutz'on .-Mix the following: 20 grams Rochelle salts, 20 grams sugar, 4 grams silver nitrate, 1,000 cc. water.
Mix equal quantities of Solution A and Solution B, for example, 60 cc. of, Solution A and 60 cc. of Solution B. This mixture gives a suitable reducing solution. The print produced in the manner set forth above may be developed by immersing it or exposing the film in this reducing solution until silver deposits u on the portion which has been transformed by the'action of light insufficient quantity to produce a dense image. The film may then be washed and dried.
The same procedure may be followed with cellulose acetate, or other cellulose esters; also with rints produced in films formed from solutions of the synthetic resins.
A variation of the process of producing prints can be made by incorporating in collodion, for example. about 1% iodoform and magenta dye. When a film of light-sensitive medium. prepared in this manner is rinted for about two minutes and developed 'm alcohol, the image is retained in those portions of the film transformed by the action of light. Presumably, the magenta dye is sufiiciently light-sensitive and the cellulose ester becomes so hardened that the magenta is retained where the transformation under the action of light has occurred, after development of the print in alcohol.
Instead of adding the sensitizer to the cellulose nitrate solution before applying as a film, the film of cellulose nitrate solution may first be applied as a film to a glass plate, for example; and, after drying the film. it may be soaked in a solution of one gram of iodoform with 200 cc. of alcohol. After being thus sensitized, the film may besubjected to the selective action of light. projected, or transmitted through a suitable transparency in accordance with an image, design or character.
Variations of the process are possible,
such as adding chemical indicators, thus litmus, phenolphthalein and iodoform may be added and then after exposing to light, developed in a weak ammonia solution which will react upon the chemical indicator to thus brin the image clearly to view.
Any sultable developin a cut may be emplo ed. It is to-be remar ed, however,- that di erential solvents suitable for dissolving the unreacted portions of the cellulose ester, while not attackin the reacted portions. are not so readily ava able as in the case of the synthetic resin varnishes, or the light-sensitive oil varnishes; hence, it is preferred to use a silver-reducing solution, or the like, for development purposes. Such reducing solution may be of any suitable composition.
A useful a plication of the process is in producing g ass negatives, or positives, which ma be 5 used as transparencies through w ioh light maybe pro ected or transmitted for the purpose of making a reproduction in a light-sensitive coating.
If desired, after an image has been produced and developed on a metal plate. a glass late. or the like. the plate, or surface, may t on be subjected to an etching operation by employing a suitable etching agent.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible, in view of the prior art. 7
