Definitions

  • a variety of photographic processes may be effected by spreading a composition in a uniformly thin layer between a pair of superposed sheets.
  • a photosensitive stratum supported on one of the sheets may be developed by a processing composition spread between it and another sheet.
  • spreading may be effected after photoexposure to develop an existing latent image or before photoexposure so that a latent image foimed immediately thereafter develops spontaneously.
  • a photosensitive composition may be spread between the sheets in the presence of a developer to provide a stratum which, when photoexposed shortly after being formed, receives a latent image that develops spontaneously.
  • the present invention contemplates the use of rigid sheets which are not deformed when the composition is spread between them.
  • these sheets as components of a film unit comprising a container of composition for discharge between them, may be pressed together in any suitable way without deformation until a given distance apart.
  • their spacing may be predetermined when the film unit is manufactured so that the composition may be drawn between them by capillary action.
  • the distance between the sheets preferably is controlled by spacers interposed between them before or during spreading. These'spacers may be so composed as to dissolve in the composition after spreading to permit collapse of the sheets toward each other as the composition dries.
  • the present invention is applicable to a variety of proccesses involving the formation of latent images in dispersions of heavy metal salts such as the noble metal salts, particularly the silver halides. It is particularly applicable to processes of the silver transfer-reversal type.
  • a photoexposed silver halide stratum is treated between two sheets by a silver halide developer and a silver halide solvent.
  • the reagents reduce ex posed silver halide to silver and react with unreduced silver halide to form a solublesilver complex which, in turn, is reduced to silver in a silver-receptive environment.
  • This silver-receptive environment may be either distinct from or interspersed with the silver halide.
  • the positive print so formed is retained permanently between the sheets.
  • the silver halide is in such concentration as to give rise only when fully developed to a predeterminedly low maximum density and if the silver complex is reduced to silver in a vigorous silver-receptive environment of the foregoing type, the resulting negative and positive prints, in registration, provide a composite print that presents a good image by reflection or projection, depending on whether one or both of the two supports are transparent.
  • objects of the present invention are; to provide a photographic process for treating an exposed photosensitive stratum by spreading a fluid composition between a pair of rigid sheets; toprovide a photographic process of the foregoing type wherein spreading is accomplished by pressing a pair of rigid sheets together; to provide a photographic process of the foregoing type wherein spreading is accomplished by capillary action between a pair of rigid sheets predeterminedly spaced apart; to provide a photographic process of the foregoing type wherein spacers are provided for controlling the'distance between the sheets; to provide a photographic process ofrthe foregoing type wherein the spacers, soluble in the composition, permit the sheets after spreading to collapse toward each other as the composition dries; to provide a photographic process of the foregoing type wherein the sheets are maintained in permanent superpositionafter spreading; and to provide photographic products useful in effecting processes of the foregoing type.

  • the arrangement is such that the developer and solvent do not act upon the silver halide composition until an aqueous fluid, which may or may not contain one or more of these materials, is spread between the sheets.
  • the aqueous fluid may be supplied either from a rupturable container carried by the film unit or from an external source.
  • the sheets are retained in superposition permanently so that they form a protective barrier against harm to or defacement of the print as a result of reaction of exhausted or unexhausted reagents with atmospheric oxygen and/or reaction of reduced silver with atmospheric sulfides such as sodium sulfide and environmental contaminants such as atomic sulfur.
  • One film unit of this type is so arranged that its two sheets are pivotally connected, a photosensitive silver halide stratum being carried on one of the sheets, a
  • Another similar film unit carries in its container at photosensitive composition to be spread between the two pivotable sheets in the presence of a developer to provide a stratum which, when photoexposed shortly following its formation, receives a latent image that develops spontaneously.
  • the developer may be carried in a variety of ways, for example dispersed in dry condition on one of the sheets.
  • This film unit requires no shielding from environmental light until the photosensitive composition is ejected from the container. Ejection may take place within the exposure chamber of a camera where the photosensitive composition forms a photosensitive stratum which, when photo exposed through one of the sheets, receives a latent image from which a useful print is formed without further manipulation or treatment.
  • Another film unit of this type is so arranged that the two sheets are prespaced during fabrication.
  • One of the sheets carries a silver halide stratum and the other a silver-receptive stratum. Because their adjacent surfaces are very close together, an aqueous solution into which an end of this film unit is dipped is rapidly drawn into their interstice by capillary action.
  • Any of the silver halide developer, silver halide solvent and even the alkali which are to effect silver transfer reversal may be carried in dry condition on either orboth of the sheets or in the solution to be spread between them.
  • One or both of the rigid sheets are transparent depending on whether the print to be produced between them is to be viewed by reflected or transmitted light.
  • Suitable materials for this purpose are glass and glasslike organic polymers which are optically clear and water insoluble.
  • suitable glasslike organic polymers are: acrylates such as methyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, alpha methyl acrylate, and alpha chloroacrylate; styrenes such as alpha methyl styrene and vinyl toluene; cellulosics such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate and ethyl cellulose; vinyl chloride copolymers such as vinyl chloride vinyl acetate; and condensation polymers such as ethylene glycol terephthalic acid polyester sold by Du Pont under the trade name Mylar.
  • composition is to be spread by pressing the sheets together, if desired, it may advantageously have high viscosity, preferably a viscosity ranging from 100 to 200,000 centipoises at a temperature of C.
  • These sheets should have a sufiiciently high modulus of fiexure to resist deformation when pressed together until a few thousandths of an inch apart with the composition of whatever viscosity therebetween. Sheets composed of such glass and glasslike materials have been found to be sufficiently rigid when as little as one-hundredth of an inch thick. For good optical clarity, it is preferred that these sheets be no more than two-tenths of an inch thick.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate the mechanical structure of one form of a film unit embodying the present invention.
  • This film unit generally designated by 20, comprises a pair of rigid transparent sheets 22 and 24 mounted respectively on a pair of frames 26 and 28 which are pivotally connected by a hinge 30.
  • Sheet 22 is shown in Fig. 2 as supporting a stratum 32 which, in one form, contains a photosensitive silver halide.
  • Sheet 24 is shown in Fig. 2 as supporting a stratum 34 which, in one form, contains silver precipitating nuclei.
  • Supported on frame 28 adjacent to hinge is a container 36 carrying an aqueous fluid, shown in Fig.
  • Container 36 is provided with a rupturable mouth 40 through which its contents are ejected when it is subjected to opposed compressional forces. Such forces are exerted when sections 42 and 44 of frames 26 and 28, respectively, are pivoted into juxtaposition. Sheets 22 and 24 are seated for slight movement in the indented medial sections 46 and 48 of frames 26 and 28, respectively, for example, by means of a resilient adhesive 50 such as a rubbery cement. Movement of these sheets toward each other is limited by a pair of spacer strips 52 shown in Fig. 1 as being supported at the longitudinal edges of sheet 24.
  • These strips are less compressible than adhesive 50 so that they control the spacing between the sheets when frames 26 and 28 are juxtaposed.
  • a pair of ribs 54 in frame 26 are designed to be received by a pair of grooves 56 in frame 28 to prevent composition 38 from flowing laterally beyond the longitudinal edges of the juxtaposed frames.
  • the free ends of frames 26 and 23 are respectively provided with depressions 62 and 64 which, when the frames are juxtaposed, form a reservoir for the reception of excess composition.
  • the free end of frame 28 is provided with a catch 66 that snaps into a notch 68 at the free end of frame 26 to retain the frames in permanent juxtaposition.
  • Container 36 in one form, is constructed from a blank of three-ply sheet material having a single fold.
  • the outer ply serves as a backing or support and is composed of a thin, relatively inexpensive, tough material, preferably a paper, such as kraft paper.
  • the intermediate ply is composed of a substantially vaporand liquid-impervious material, for example, a metal foil such as aluminum or lead foil.
  • the inner ply is composed of a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic material, for example, a polyvinyl acetal such as polyvinyl butyral or polyvinyl formal, which protects the container contents from contamination.
  • a composition comprising by weight approximately to 70% polyvinyl butyral, approximately 10 to 23% of nitrocellulose and approximately 5% dibutyl sebacate is particularly satisfactory.
  • the two folds of the inner ply are sealed to each other by the application of heat and pressure.
  • Those two sections of the twofold defining mouth 40 are bonded together by a strip of adhesive so constituted that the bonding forces be tween it and the inner ply are less than the cohesive forces between end portions of the inner ply that are sealed together.
  • a satisfactory strip may be composed, for example, of ethyl cellulose or a mixture of ethyl cellulose and paraffin, the mixture including at least 50% by weight of ethyl cellulose. Since the bonding forces between those sections defining the mouth are less than a ess "5 the bonding forces between other sectionsof the con: tamer, the application of opposed compressional forces to the container causes discharge of the containers contents through its mouth.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the film unit of Fig. 1 in use with frames 26 and 28 locked in juxtaposition by catch 66 and notch 68.
  • Solution 38 is shown as having been ejected from container 36 and spread between strata 32 and 34 in a thin layer.
  • Stratum 32 which, as stated above, in one form. contains silver halide, is photoexposed either before or immediately after this spreading is effected.
  • Solution 38 as stated above, in.
  • one form contains a developer which reduces exposed silver halide in stratum 32 to silver, and a silver halide solvent which reacts with unreduced silver halide to form a com plex silver salt that diffuses to stratum 34 where, in the presence of unexhausted silver halide developer and a silver precipitating agent, it is reduced to silver.
