Definitions

  • Photographic copying devices in which an exposed light-sensitive sheet is urged in the presence of suitable processing liquid into intimate contact with an imagereceiving sheet are well known in the art. Little attention, however, has been paid to the problem of separating by means of mechanical instrumentalities the damp, tightly adhering sheets from each other.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a stripping mechanism which is not dependent upon precise orientation ⁇ of its moving parts and is, therefore, reliable in operation and needs little, if any adjustment.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a stripping mechanism that isV of compactdesign and, thus, especially well adapted for operative association with commercially available copying apparatus by the manufacturers of such apparatus, without considerable changes in the construction and design of the apparatus.
  • the present invention accomplishes the separation of an image-receiving sheet from a light-sensitive ⁇ sheet intimately adhering thereto by an arrangement, comprising'means for frictionally engaging one of said sheets of said sandwich adjacent the leading margins thereof to temporarily immobilize said sheet against movement, and means for applying a dynamic frictional force to the exposed face of said other sheet along a limited longitudinal locus adjacent its leading margins, said force being directed generally away from said margins and of sufficient magnitude to overcome the coeicient of Yfriction between the contacting faces of said sheets and buckle said vother sheet away from said first sheet, and means for supporting said sandwich against said force at least in the areas of its application.
  • the mentioned friction applying means may be and preferably are rotatable friction rollers, but it is Vclear that other forms of friction means such as rotating rubber fingers, resilient disks which are axially spaced on a rotating shaft, etc., may find application for this purpose.
  • One noteworthy advantagey of a stripping mechanism according to the present invention is its suitability for the separation of the adhering materials not only when both are wetted by the processing liquid necessary t-o the diffusion transfer prior to being pressed into contact, but when just one of the materials is wetted by the processing liquid, and even when only enough of the liquid as to spread over the interface of the materials is present.
  • the device according to the present invention is particularly suited for producing copies according tothe now well-known silver halide ldiffusion transfer process.
  • a light-sensitive material including a silver halide emulsion layer is image-wise exposed to an original and pressed against an image-receiving material in the presence of a processing liquid, which contains, among other constituents, a developing agent and a silver halide complexing agent, whereby the unexposed and undeveloped parts of the silver halide are complexed and diffuserto the image-receiving material, where they are converted into a silver image by the action of developing nuclei.
  • a processing liquid which contains, among other constituents, a developing agent and a silver halide complexing agent, whereby the unexposed and undeveloped parts of the silver halide are complexed and diffuserto the image-receiving material, where they are converted into a silver image by the action of developing nuclei.
  • FIGS. la-ld are diagrammatic views illustrating the step-by-step operation of the present concept, with the following stages being depicted:
  • FIG. la shows the arrival of the sheets at a pair of cooperating friction rollers rotating in the indicated direction to initially advance the sheet
  • FIG. 1b shows the actuation by the advancing sheets of a sensing device behind the nip of the separating rollers
  • FIG. lc shows the reverse rotation of one of the rollers while the other is momentarily stilled to bring about the separation of the leading portions of the sheets
  • FIG. ld shows the completion of the separation
  • FIG. 2 is a side view partially in section of a simplitied copying apparatus embodying the principles of this invention
  • FIG. 3 is a detail view of the mechanism controlling the displaceable means for guiding the two sheets, with certain parts shown in dotted lines for clearer understanding;
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of the driving system for the various rollers in the embodiment of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is the electrical circuit of the apparatus of FIG. 2.
  • FIGS. la-ld both the sheets and the friction rollers have been shown in slightly spacedapart relationship, although contact therebetween would naturally be present in practice.
  • a first sheet and a second sheet 11 adhering together because of the presence of moisture or other liquid between their contacting surfaces, are advanced in the direction of the arrow at the left of FIG. la towards the nip of rollers 12 and 13 Which resiliently press onto each other.
  • Both rollers are rotating in the directions indicated by the respective arrows and assume control over the advance of the sandwich of the sheets upon its entry between the rollers (FIG. 1b), forwarding the sandwich until its leading edge actuates a sens ing device 14, controlling the mechanism (not shown in FIGS.
  • This mechanism is so designed as to reverse the direction of rotation of the roller 12 and to arrest the roller 13 in response to the actuation of the sensing device 14.
  • the advance of the sheet 11, nearest roller 13, is temporarily halted, whereas the leading portion of the sheet 10, adjacent roller 12, is rubbed backwardly, causing the sheet to curve and form a loop 15 (FIG. 1c) until the leading edge of the sheet passes around and finally above roller 12.
  • the direction of rotation of said roller is reversed again (FIG.
  • the degree of adherence of the two sheets to each other i.e. their mutual attraction, is less than the coeicient of friction between each of the sheets and its corresponding roller.
  • Suicient friction between the rollers and the sheets can be obtained by roughening the surface of the rollers, or by providing them with a layer of a resilient material such as natural rubber or foam rubber, or their synthetic equivalents.
  • the sheet 10 could, for example, as well be in registration with, or behind, as to lead sheet 11. Care shall be taken, however, that the distance between the leading edges of the sheets does not exceed the distance between the nip of the rollers 12, 13 and the sensing device controlling the rotation of the one roller, since the second sheet must obviously be within the nip of the rollers when the reversal takes place.
  • FIG. 2 An embodiment of a separating mechanism according to the invention, is shown in FIG. 2 in operating association with a copying apparatus of the diffusion transfer type.
  • This copying apparatus which is typical of the construction of a number of commercially available models, comprises a housing 20 for holding the processing liquid 21, an array of guide plates 22, and a pair of pressure rollers 23-24 adjacent the outlet of the housing.
  • the mechanism for separating Ithe sandwich of both sheets comprises the rollers 25, 26, 27 as well as the roller pair 1S, 28 for conveying the separated imagereceiving sheet 10 and the roller 29 with the roll 30 for receiving the separated light-sensitive sheet 11.
  • the roller 27 is driven by means of electric motor 31 through the intermediary of a reversing gear 32 (FIG. 4), capable of driving the roller 27 either in the forward direction so as to continue the advance of the sheets as they arrive from the copying apparatus (counterclockwise rotation of roller 27 in FIG. 2), or in the reverse direction (clockwise rotation of roller 27 in FIG. 2).
  • a reversing gear 32 FIG. 4
  • the roller 27 has, for example, a diameter of l0 mm. is made of stainless steel and may and preferably does have a roughened surface, e.g. applied by milling.
  • the roller 26 has a diameter of 35 mm. and consists of a hollow plastic cylinder which is covered With a resilient layer 33 of rubber or the like. It is mounted for free rotation on a stationary shaft 34, being driven by frictional contact with the periphery of the roller 27.
  • roller 26 is provided with a pawl 35, rotating bodily therewith, which under the influence of spring means (not shown) engages a ratchet wheel 35 which is rigidly locked to the stationary shaft 34.
  • spring means not shown
  • Beneath roller 26 is a pressure roller 25 also preferably made of stainless steel, Iand mounted for free rotation around its shaft. The drive of said roller is derived by frictional contact with the roller 26. Roller 25 is needed mainly by reason of the sinuous configuration of the particular path of the sheets in the illustrated embodiment and with other paths it could be dispensed with.
  • the pressure between the rollers 26 and 27 which is required for the proper ⁇ operation of the apparatus and which depends for the greater part on the nature of the roller surface and for a minor part on the kind of sheet materials which are used in the apparatus since they are less subject to important differences, is adjustable by means of the screws 74, 75 which press on the slidably kmounted bearings 72, 73 of the roller 27. Besides the adjustment of the proper pressurebetween both rollers, the screws 74, 75 permit also the uniform distribution of the pressure over the roller length.
  • the displacement of the shaft of the roller 27 for different adjustments of -the roller pressure was so small in the present apparatus, that no flexible coupling between the shaft of the reverse gear 32 and the roller shaft was required.
  • a feed plate 37 of metal, plastic or the like for receiving the light-sensitive sheet 11 after separation has -been effected.
  • the mechanism includes means for collecting the discarded sheets 11, one inexpensive arrangement for this purpose being shown in FIG. 2.
  • a roller 29 is disposed at the remote end of plate 37 with its periphery projecting just above the plane of plate 37.
  • a freely rot-atable roll 30 having each of its ends journaled in an elongated vertical slot 39 in a supporting bracket 40 Ito permit roll 30 a substantial extent of vertical movement away from roller 29.
  • Roll 30 is preferably of disposable construction, being formed, for instance, as a hollow core of cardboard or the like.
  • Roller 29 is continuously driven in 4a clockwise direction while roll '30 turns at the same peripheral speed under its own weight on roller 29.
  • a sensing device in ythe present case a microswitch 60 having a contact finger projecting into the path of the sheets emerging from between rollers 26, 27. It is clear that other means responsive to the arrival of the sandwich such -as photoelectric cells or photoresis-tors may likewise Vbe used at this stage.
  • the upwardly facing damp emulsion layer instantly adheres to roll 30 so that the sheet :becomes entirely wrapped around the roll 30 as roller 29 rotates.
  • the number of sheets wrapped around the said roll increases, its diameter increases accordingly.
  • the roll is lifted out of the slots 39, discarded, and replaced with a new core 3S.
  • the distance between the nips of rollers 26, 27 and roller-core 29, 38 should be less than the length of the sheets being processed if the collection is to occur automatically.
  • the drive mechanism for the respective rollers of the apparatus is shown in FIG. 4, and comprises an electric motor 31 with -associated reduction gear, driving directly the outlet roller pair 23, 24 and the reversing gear 32.
  • the roller 29 and the roller pair 18, 28 are driven by rneans of a belt take-off from the shaft of roller 23.
  • the peripheral speed of the roller 29 is selected to be equal to or slightly higher than that of the roller 27.
  • the gear-ratio of the reversing gear 32 is such that in the forward direction the peripheral speed of the roller 27 is equal to that of the roller pair 23, 24, and in the reverse direction is equal to or higher than that of such pair.
  • the reversing gear normally turns in a forward direction, whereas for the reverse direction a control lever 44- is shifted by means of a solenoid 45 (FIG. 5) to which it is hingedly connected by means of a rod 46, to the position as shown in dot-dash lines.
  • a further adjunct used by reason of the particular design of FIG. 2 is a number of arcuate guide lingers 47 arranged at spaced intervals over the length of the roller 26 and supported by a pivotable shaft 48.
  • This shaft is provided -on one extremity with the lever 49 which can take two extreme positions, as shown in solid lines and in dot-dash lines, respectively, in FIG. 3. The movement of lever 49 between these positions is controlled as follows:
  • a disk-shaped member 50 is coaxially mounted at one extremity of the shaft 51 which carries roll-er 27 and in frictional engagement with the shaft surface.
  • the disk 50 rotates together with the shaft until a lug 52 provided for this purpose at a point of the periphery of disk 50 abuts against one of the fixed abutments 53, 54.
  • lug 52 provided for this purpose at a point of the periphery of disk 50 abuts against one of the fixed abutments 53, 54.
  • Continued rotation of shaft 51 results in disk 50 slipping on the shaft to one of its limiting positions determined by the location -of the abutments 53, 54.
  • a tension spring 55 acts upon .lever 49 to keep fingers 47 in a position generally concentric to but slightly spaced from the periphery of lroller 26. When in this position, fingers 47 stretch approximately the full distance between the rollers 23 and 27 and serve to positively guide the sheet s-andwich upon delivery from the nip of roller 25 and roller 26 to the nip of roller 27 with roller 26.
  • An image-receiving sheet 10 is introduced, its imagereceiving face directed downwardly, together with an already image wise exposed light-sensitivel sheet 11 having emulsion face directed upwardly, into the respective channels dened by the guide plates 22 in housing 20.
  • the image-receiving sheet 10 follows the path numbered 57 and the light-sensitive sheet 11 follows the path numbered 58.
  • both sheets After passing through the processing liquid 21, both sheets are squeezed between the pressure roller pair 23, 24 and leave housing 20 adhering to each other. The diffusion transfer starts when the sheets come in contact.
  • rollers 23, 24 feed the sheets upwardly between the guide channel 61, 62 until the leading edge of the sandwich of both sheets enters the nip between the rollers 25, 26.
  • These rollers are continuously rotating under the influence of the roller 27 rotating in anti-clockwise direction by the forward position of the reverse gear, and continiue the advance of the sheets also after the trailing edge of the sandwich has left the rollers 23, 24.
  • the fingers 47 which are at this point in the position as shown in solid lines, guide the sandwich around the roller 26 during its further rotation and direct its leading edge into the nip of the rollers 26, 27. As that edge emerges from the nip, it actuates the contact finger of the microswitch 60 which normally is biased by spring means (not shown) so as to obstruct the path indicated at 63 of the sandwich over t-he support plate 37, the electrical contact of the microswitch switching over from the position as indicated in solid lines in FIG. 5 to the position as indicated in broken lines. Thereby, a capacitor 64 which has been previously charged to the D.C.

  • the leading portion of sheet 10 rides free -of the engagement of the rollers 26, 27, it tends to straighten and extend tangentially to the roller 26 at a point 66 spaced backwardly from roller 27.
  • roller 26 is held xed on its shaft 34 by means of the ratchet mechanism 35, 36 so that the sheet 11 which rests lon its periphery does not change position, thereby continuing to actuate with its leading edge the microswitch 60.
  • the solenoid 45 When the relay 67 is deenergized, the solenoid 45 is released and, consequently, the reversing gear 41 will rotate again in the forward direction.
  • the light-sensitive sheet 11 continues along path 63 over the support plate 37 until it becomes wrapped onto the roll 30, whereasthe image-receiving sheet 10 is directed between the continuously turning roller pair 18, 28 which forces the sheet upwardly over the support plate 41 along the path indicated at 42.
  • These rollers occasionally may squeeze olf any remaining processing liquid adhering to the sheet.
  • the said rollers may also be heated so as to accelerate the drying of the image-receiving sheet whereby it may be possible to produce copies which are almost dry upon leaving the apparatus. Occasionally, the acceleration of the drying of the image-receiving sheet may also be performed with the aid of other means, e.g. by a hot air blast, by completely or partially heating the support plate 41, etc.
  • successive sandwiches should be maintained spaced apart a distance at least equal to the distance of transport corresponding to the, period of arrest of the roller 26, i.e. the period of the reverse rotation of the roller 27, to avoid overlapping of the sandwiches and unsatisfactory operation.
  • the time constant of the parallel RC circuit comprising the capacitor 64, the resistor 66 and the relay 67 should be great enough to permit reverse rotation of the roller 27 for a period long enough to insure that the leading margin of sheet 11 is entirely disengaged from beneath roller 27.

  • Separation of the sheets as described herein can also be facilitated by orienting the sandwich along a curved path at least just preceding the nip of the reversible roller.
  • Such an orientation as illustrated in FIG. 2, for example, capitalizes upon the inherently greater tendency of curved sheets to separate.
  • the application of the processing liquid to the sheets may be done in Ways different from the one contemplated in the foregoing example. Itis thus possible to use a copying apparatus having a lick-roller applicator system for applying the processing liquid to the emulsion side of the light-sensitive material, a squeegee station for removing the excessive processing liquid from the lightsensitive material, and a pressing station for pressing the moistened light-sensitive sheet against the dry image-receiving sheet.
  • a said apparatus is particularly interesting in case dry or virtually dry copies have to be produced without resorting to the use of heating means for accelerating the drying.
