  • FIG. 1 For purposes of the invention, it is to provide a zphotographic film assernblycomprising a plurality of superposed layers andincluding at least a photosensitive-silver halide layer, animage-receiving-layerand a base forming an outermostlayer of said film assembly-and providing a backing layer, said film assembly also including a rupturable container holding a liquid processing reagent with the container located between the backing layer .and the next innermost layerof the' film assembly; ,to provide a film assembly of the nature described wherein :said backing layer is transparent or opaqueand said'film assembly is allowed to remain intact after processingor wherein said backing layer, including said container, is separated from said filmassembly after-processing; and in general to-provide photographic-products or film assemblies of the character set forth which may employ a stripping layer between the image-receiving layer and the photosensitive layer of the product.
  • the invention accordingly comprises the product possessing the features, properties and the relation ofcomponents which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.

  • a photographic transfer process may be utilized to form in an image-tor print-receiving layer a reverse image of a latent image contained in a photosensitive layer.
  • a liquid composition comprising a silverhalide developer and a silver halide 'fixer may be substantially uniformly permeated into an exposed silver halide photosensitive layer. The liquid develops the latent image in the silver halide emulsion and forms a soluble silver complex, e.
  • a thiosulphate or a thiocyanate with undeveloped silver halide which is transferred in solution to an imageor35iving layer in superposed relation to the photosensitive layer where this complex is developed to silver to provide the desired reverse image.
  • the present invention relates to film assemblies for carrying out a photographic transfer process and concerns an improved film structure utilizing a transparent support which carries a photosensitive layer and an image-receiving layer onone side thereof. Additionally, the invention concerns a film structure which associates a backing layer. with the film assembly. This backing layer provides an outermost layer of the product and permits both the photosensitive layer and the imagereceiving layer to be located on one side of a ruptu-rable container for a liquid processing composition. .In other words, the container may be located between the -bacle ing layer and thatlayer of the product which is directly adjacent the backing layer.
  • A-film assembly of this character possess a number of advantages. For example, it embodies all of the layers needed to carry out a transfer process in a composite structure of such nature that the'layers thereof are maintainable in superposed relationat least until formation of the desired reverse image. Such a construction is advantageous from the standpoint that it lendsitself to simplified camera design as it does not require separation of the layers for exposure purposes.
  • a construction of this type is especially adapted for providing a film assembly useful in color photography as well as in stereoscopic photography.
  • a film assembly which may be used in either of the justmentioned photographic fields is made possible by utilizing a transparent support which is provided at least on one surface thereof with a gridlike arrangement of a multiplicity of minute optical elements and which supports a photosensitive layer and an image-receiving layer on a surface thereof.
  • these minute optical elements may be provided by lenticules or by a color screen formed of filter elements of conventional character.
  • the lenticular arrangement is, of course, also especially suited for carrying out stereoscopic photography.
  • a composite typeof film structure of the character indicated-the image-carrying layer may be made so thin, i. e., about .00001,,inch or of the order of a wavelength of "light, that effectively a structure is always provided which issu'bstantia'lly the'equivalent of placing the lenticular layer or the screen layerand the photosensitive layer next to each other.
  • Such practice is advantageous since, in the case of a screen or lenticular process, parallax is kept to a minimum during taking or exposure and for viewing purposes is reduced over all other available systems.
  • the composite structure in so far as a transfer process is concerned, permits a construction wherein sidewise diffusion of the liquid undergoing transfer from one layer to another may be substantially eliminated.
  • Another advantage attributable to a composite film structure for carrying out a transfer process resides in the fact that perfect registration of the screen or the lenticules with the photosensitive and imagecarrying layers, i. e., perfect registration for taking and viewing purposes, is assured.
  • appropriate filters are employed for taking and projection purposes.
  • the lenticular film is exposed through a conventional filter which has two or more sections of different color and which is located on the object side of a camera lens, while for viewing purposes the lenticular film is projected through a similar filter adapted to be located on the projection screen side of a projection lens.
  • a stereoscopic pair of images of an object being photographed may be optically formed on the photosensitive layer of a lenticular film, mounted in a suitable camera, with the aid of a conventional binoculartype viewing device which makes use of prism and/or mirror means and which is mounted in optical alignment with the camera objective on the object side of said objective.
  • a device of this nature is commonly known as a stereo-attachment.
  • a similar binocular device may be utilized for projecting onto a suitable screen developed stereoscopic image pairs formed in lenticular film.
  • the binocular device is located on the image side of the objective through which the developed film is projected and said binocular device is equipped with suitably different light-polarizing filters, for example, opposite plane polarizers, whereby the screen images will be formed with differently polarized light.
  • This arrangement permits an observer who is wearing glasses or spectacles, having two suitably difierent light-polarizing lenses which are appropriately oriented, to view the left-eye image of a projected stereoscopic pair only with his left eye and to view the right-eye image of said projected image pair only with his right eye.
  • a backing layer permits the container for the processing liquid to be located at a position where the contents thereof can only reach the photosensitive layer or the image-receiving layer after the liquid has permeated or penetrated through one or the other of these layers. In certain instances, such practice is desirable.
  • the present invention permits arrangement of the layers of the film assembly which facilitates carrying out practice of the nature just described in that it allows 'the photosensitive layer to be positioned next to the imagereceiving layer, which is located next to the transparent support of the film assembly, whereby the container for the liquid processing composition may be positioned between the backing layer and the photosensitive layer.

  • the film assembly 10 is processed in the absence of actinic light by moving the film through a pair of pressure-applying rollers. These rollers rupture the container and spread its liquid content between the backing layer 16 and the photo-sensitive layer 15 to initiate the processing of the assembly.
  • This processing is carried out in the absence of actinic light for a period of about one minute, after which the lenticular layer or transparent support 11, together with the image-receiving layer 14, is separated, as by stripping, from the photosensitive layer 15 and the backing layer 16.
