Definitions

  • This invention relates to photographic elements and a method for identifying them.
  • Motion picture film is ordinarily identified according to the manufacturer and type (c. g. cellu-" lose acetate or cellulose nitrate) by exposing letters or symbols photographically along the margins of the raw or unprocessed film. Upon development, these markings become visible and permit identification of the film.
  • fluorescent materials can be added to the film base of photographic elements.
  • Michaelis U. S. Patent 2,331,492, dated October 12 1943 describes a photographic element containing a fluorescent material, such as rhodamine, in the film base.
  • the purpose of the fluorescent layer of Michaelis is to provide a source of radiant energy to cause exposure of a light-sensitive emulsion, which is not sensitive to primary radiation.
  • Other patents show the use of fluorescent materials in the film base of a photographic element for the purpose of image intensification.
  • the accompanying drawing shows a film base of a cellulose ester containing 7-diethylamino-4- methylcoumarin and a coating of a photographic silver halide emulsion on the film base.
  • the amount of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin used in my invention is of material importance in determining the properties of the cellulose ester film base, and consequently, the photographic element comprising the cellulose ester film base.
  • An amount less than 0.0001 per cent should not be used, nor should an amount in excess of 0.002 per cent be used, the amounts being based on the cellulose ester, since the advantageous results of my invention are not obtained outside this range.
  • the 7 diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin can advantageously be added to a viscous solution or dope of the cellulose ester, and the composition agitated until homogeneity is accomplished.
  • the 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin can be. added in solid form, or in the form of a solution, which contains, for example, the same solvent present in the cellulose ester dope. After intimate mixing the solution is cast into a sheet and the solvent removed by evaporation. A film of the cellulose ester can be first formed, and a coating of '7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin applied to the cellulose ester layer, although I have found that a product is obtained which does not exhibit the homogeneity and.
  • a film of cellulose ester can also be immersed in a solution of the I-diethylaminoi-methylcoumarm in a solvent having no dissolving power for the cellulose ester.
  • Such modes of procedure are not generally to be preferred since. the amount. of 7-diethylamino-4- methylcoumarin used cannot be as systematic-ally controlled and the 7-diethylamino-a-methylcoumarin is easily removed from the film base during handling.
  • Cellulose esters which can advantageously be used in my invention comprise cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate, etc., mixed cellulose esters, such as cellulose acetate butyrate, etc.
  • My invention is particularly adaptable to the use of cellulose acetate containing, for example, from 35 to 44.8 per cent acetyl.
  • the particular solvent, or mixture of solvents, used in the cellulose ester dope will depend on the acyl content of the ester. For example, cellulose acetate containing from about 39 to 41 per cent acetyl can be dissolved in acetone.
  • Cellulose acetate containing from about 42.5 to 44.0 per cent acetyl has been found to be especially useful in preparing the photographic elements of my invention. A range of acetyl from 43.0 to 43.5 per cent gives particularly useful results.
  • the 7-diethylamino-4methy1cournarin can readily be incorporated into such esters by addition to a solution of the ester in a solvent mixture composed of 55 to 85 per cent by weight of methylene chloride, 15 to per cent by weight of methanol or ethanol, and 30 to 5 per cent by weight of ethylene chloride.
  • the methylene chloride can comprise from 65 to 90 per cent by Weight of the solvent mixture.
  • Cellulose acetate containing from 42.5 to 44.0 per cent by weight, and more particularly from 43.0 to 43.5 per cent by weight, of acetyl provides a film base possessing unusual resistance to tear and separation when subjected to stress or strain. (-See, for example, Fordyce et a1. U. S. Patents 2,492,977 and 2,492,978, dated January 3 19 50.)
  • the accompanying drawing illustrates, schematically, a cross sectional view of a photographic element representative of those of my invention.
  • the element comprises a support [0 of a cellulose ester, e. g. cellulose acetate of 43 per cent acetyl content containing less than 0.002 per cent (e. g. 0.0004 per cent) of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin and having thereon.
  • a cellulose ester e. g. cellulose acetate of 43 per cent acetyl content containing less than 0.002 per cent (e. g. 0.0004 per cent) of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin and having thereon.
  • the support 10 can be coated with a plurality of emulsions, for example, as shown in U. S. Patents 2,350,764, dated June 6, 1944; 2,360,214, dated October 10, 1944; 2,376,202, dated May 15, 1945; 2,391,198, dated December 18, 1945; 2,403,721, dated July 9, 1946; etc.
  • S. patents are the usual gelatino-silver halide emulsions customarily used in the art of blackand-white or multi-color reproduction.
  • emulsions can also consist of silver halide dispersed in other water-permeable colloidal materials, such as synthetic resins, e. g. polyvinyl alcohol, etc., cellulose ethers and esters, etc.
  • Typical silver-halide emulsions include silver chloride, bromide, bromiodide, and chlorobromide types.
  • the photographic silver-halide emulsions can contain the usual addenda, such as polymethine sensitizing dyes, anti-foggants, etc.
  • a photographic element comprising at least one photographicvsilver halide emulsion layer and a colorless cellulose ester layer containing from 0.0001 to 0.002 per cent by weight, based on the cellulose ester, of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin, said cellulose ester being an ester of a saturated carboxylic acid containing from. 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
  • a photographic element comprising at least one photographic silver halide emulsion layer and a colorless cellulose acetate layer containing from 0.0001 to 0.002 per cent by weight, based on the cellulose acetate, of 7-diethylamino-4- methylcoumarin.
  • A. photographic clement comprising at least one photographic silver bromide emulsion layer and a colorless cellulose ester layer containing from 0.0001 to 0.002 per centby weight, based on the cellulose ester, of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin, said cellulose ester being an ester of a saturated carboxylic acid containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
  • A. photographic element comprising at leastone photographic silver chloride emulsion layer and a colorless cellulose ester layer containing from 0.0001 to 0.002 per cent by Weight, based on the cellulose ester, or 7-diethylamino-4methylcoumarin, said cellulose ester being an ester of a saturated carboxylic acid containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
  • a photographic element comprising at least one photographic silver bromiodide emulsion layer and a colorless cellulose ester layer containing from 0.0001 to 0.002 er cent by weight, based on the cellulose ester, of 7-diethylamino-4- methylcoumarin, said cellulose ester being an ester of a saturatedcarboxylic acid containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
  • a photographic element comprising at least one photographic silver chlorobromide emulsion layer and a colorless cellulose ester layer containing from 0.0001 to 0.002 per cent by weight, based on the cellulose ester, of 7-diethylamino- 4-methylcoumarin, said cellulose ester being an ester of a saturated carboxylic acid containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
  • a photographic element comprising at least one photographic silver bromide emulsion layer and a colorless.
