Definitions

  • the sheets are adapted to be moved relative to pressure-applying rollers, leading edge foremost, thereby spreading the liquid processing composition across the area of the photosensitive sheet that has been exposed through the transparent sheet.
  • Liquid processing composition in excess of that needed to completely cover the exposed area of the photosensitive sheet is collected in trapping means near the trailing edge of the face-to-face sheets in a chamber that responds to an increase in hydraulic pressure of the excess liquid processing composition to increase its volume.
  • This invention relates to photographic apparatus and, more particularly, to a self-developing film unit having expandable means situated at one end thereof to collect liquid processing composition in excess of that needed to fully cover an exposed photosensitive sheet.
  • the present invention is concerned with photographic film units of the type that include a photosensitive sheet that is exposed through a transparent second sheet held adjacent the photosensitive sheet.
  • a container of liquid processing composition is arranged to be ruptured in an area near the leading edge of the two sheets held in faceto-face relationship so that the liquid processing composition contained therein can be evenly spread between the two sheets over the entire exposed area. Normally, this is done by moving the film unit, leading edge foremost, through and relative to at least two pressure-applying members which cause the liquid processing composition to spread across the exposed area of the photosensitive sheet.
  • a film unit of the type with which the present invention is concerned is more completely described in Ser. No. 622,286 now abandoned, filed on Mar. 10, 1969, and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
  • the method of developing is by the diffusion transfer process described more completely in US. Pat. 3,415,644, also assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
  • Success in developing the latent image contained in the exposed photosensitive sheet depends on the accuracy and completeness of the spreading of the liquid processing composition.
  • the usual technique is to provide in the container near the leading edge of the film unit an amount in ex- Patented Nov. 23, 1971 cess of that needed to cover the exposed area.
  • the exact amount of excess available cannot be calculated to a precise degree because of changes in viscosity, of the processing composition for example, due to temperature variances. It therefore becomes apparent that an excess of liquid processing composition must be provided which will completely cover the exposed photosensitive sheet under the most adverse circumstances, that is, when the temperature is low and the viscosity high. Therefore, under the circumstance where the liquid processing composition is least viscous, a greater amount of excess will be available that must be accommodated after spreading. The low viscosity condition causes the generation of the greatest amount of excess liquid that must be accommodated.
  • a comb-like element is situated near the trailing edge of the film unit and the spaces existing between the teeth of the comb provide the volume to accommodate some excess liquid processing composition.
  • the comb-type traps as they are called, also represent a fixed volume which can be initially varied during construction when a greater or lesser amount of excess liquid processing composition is expected in a given environment.
  • these volumes cannot be changed in response to different volumetric needs. Therefore, the non-variable volume traps of the art cannot respond to different amount of excess liquid processing composition to form a trap having a volume that is exactly correct for any given amount of excess. Consequently, the prior art does not provide a complete solution to the problem herein described.
  • OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved photographic film unit of the type adapted to be processed by moving the film unit relative to pressure-applying means wherein a liquid processing composition is spread by the pressure-applying means in an amount in excess of the amount needed to cover an exposed area of the photosensitive sheet and wherein a liquid trap is provided that has a volumetric capacity varying in accordance with the amount of excess liquid generated.
  • a photographic film unit of the type adapted to be processed by moving the film unit, leading edge foremost, relative to pressure-applying means which distributes the liquid processing composition from the leading edge of the film unit to the trailing edge thereof, and which includes liquid collecting means adapting the accommodation of different amounts of excess liquid processing composition.
  • the liquid processing composition is normally carried in a container near the leading edge of the film unit and when the film unit is moved between the pressure-applying members, the container is ruptured with the liquid processing composition then being evenly spread across the area of photosensitive sheet, which has been exposed.
  • the liquid collecting means, or traps, as termed in the art, are carried toward the trailing edge of the film unit and are typified by the spaces between the teeth of a comb-like element.
  • the length of the teeth and the spacing between the teeth determines the amount of fixed volume available for excess liquid processing composition.
  • the present invention resides in the provision of teeth having sufficient length so that when the pressure-applying member is tangential to the surface of the teeth, a path for fiuid flow through the spaces between the teeth is possible from rear to front.
  • the extra volume is provided by a deflectable wall portion of a depository situated near the trailing edge of the film unit.
  • the wall portion of the aforementioned depository is folded back upon itself in accordion fashion so that a hydraulic pressure guilt up in the fixed volume portion of the trap will cause the folded portion to expand, thereby providing an area of variable volume.
  • Still another embodiment of the present invention presents an element formed as a rocker-type element which is also a comb-like structure but actually presses the pressure-applying members apart at the time when the space of a fixed volume area is filled, thereby allowing for the transfer of excess liquid processing composition from one side of the comb-like element to the other.
  • a depository is available to accept and collect the amount of liquid processing composition exceeding the space provided by the area of fixed volume.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the film unit of the subject invention
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the photo- 4 sensitive and transparent sheet portions of the subject film unit
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of one embodiment of the subject invention with the pressure-applying rollers shown prior to entering the area of the trap mechanism which has a fixed volume;
  • FIG. 4 is another illustration of the embodiment of FIG. 3 which shows the pressure-applying rollers directly over the area of fixed volume;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the subject invention with a sheet of material being folded back on itself in the direction of the trailing edge of the film unit to provide an area of variable volume;
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the present invention illustrating a sheet of material folded back on itself in a direction of the leading edge; to pro vide an area of variable volume;
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the present invention with the pressure-applying rollers engaging the leading edge of a rockable comb-like element;
  • FIG. 8 is a sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 7 showing a progressive position thereof.
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the comb-like rockable element of the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • the film unit of the subject invention is illustrated with parts broken away to more clearly illustrate the interior portion of the unit.
  • the film unit is generally designated by the numeral 10 and has a leading edge 12 and a trailing edge 14.
  • Leading edge 12 is the edge of the film unit that first contacts the pressure-applying means of the subject invention as hereinafter described.
  • the liquid processing composition is stored in a plurality of containers or pods 16.
  • Pods 16 are typically formed by a sheet of material 18 folded back on itself and firmly sealed at outside edges 20 and 22. Material 18 is also sealed in areas 24 and 26 so that pods 16 are separate and distinct. Sheet 18 is also sealed in the area defined by edge 28 but this seal is rupturable for reasons which hereinafter become apparent.
  • a transparent sheet 30 and a photosensitive sheet 32 are disposed in face-to-face relationship and are in contact with one another when disposed in film unit 10.
  • a binder 34 is essentially a sheet of material having a window in the center thereof defining the area of photosensitive sheet 32 to be exposed through transparent sheet 30. Binder 34 is wrapped around the side edges 36 and 38 of the face-to-face sheets and is sealed to the exposed surfaces of sheet 30 and 32, respectively. The leading end sections 40 and 42 of the transparent and photosensitive sheets are not sealed together with this unsealed edge facing pods 16 in the area defined by plane 28. This adapts the movement of processing fluid from pods 16 through rupturable area defined by numeral 28 into the space between sheets 30 and 32.
  • the trailing end sections 41 and 43 terminate in an area in which a comb-like element 44 is disposed.
  • the space between teeth 46 represents an area of fixed volume within the film unit of the subject invention and functions in a manner hereinafter described. This area of fixed volume is generally termed a trap and is adapted to accommodate liquid processing composition in excess of that amount needed to completely cover the exposed area of sheet 32.
  • the subject film unit is usable in the environment of a camera of the type shown in Ser. No. 655,850 now abandoned, filed July 25, 1967, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
  • film unit 10 is driven between pressure-applying rollers in timed sequence after a desired area of photosensitive sheet 32 is exposed through transparent sheet 30.
  • the latent image in photosensitive sheet 30 is developed by a diffusion transfer process more fully described in US. Pat. No.
  • Leading edge 12 of film unit is driven into pressureapplying rollers of the type shown in FIGS. 3-8 as described in the aforementioned application, Ser. No. 655,850 now abandoned.
  • a hydraulic pressure buildup occurs in pods 16 as the pods pass between the rollers until the pressure ruptures the pods directing fluid toward edge 28. This results in the injection of liquid processing composition into the space between the face-to-face sheets 30 and 32.
  • Continued movement of film unit 10 through the pressure-applying rollers results in the fluid being spread across sheets 30 and 32 in the direction of the trailing end sections 41 and 43, respectively.
  • FIG. 3 A first embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, where pressureapplying rollers 50 and 52 are rotated in the manner suggested in Ser. No. 655,850 now abandoned.
  • a sheet of material 54 which is actually the rearmost portion of binder 34 is attached across the trailing end section of transparent sheet 30.
  • Transparent sheet 30 is longer than photosensitive sheet 32, resulting in another area of fixed volume 56 being provided near the trailing edge 14 of film :unit 10.
  • Another end of sheet 54 is attached to the opposite outside surface of photosensitive sheet 32 to form an envelope type depository around the trailing end sections of sheets 30 and 32.
  • Comb-like element 44 can be attached to surface of sheet 54 in any well known manner within the depository with the teeth thereof extending into an area adjacent volume 56. Therefore, the liquid collecting means of the subject invention comprises the space between the teeth 46 of element 44, and volume 56, and a chamber that is formed by an expandable portion of material 54 in a manner to be hereinafter described.
  • a volume 58 is available which is formed by expandable portion 59 of sheet 54.
  • all of the trapped liquid is in fixed volume 56, in the spaces between teeth 46, and in portion 60 of sheet 64 that is slightly expanded.
  • the volume provided by-the volume 56, portion 60, and the teeth 46 can be too little to accommodate all the excess liquid processing composition when rollers 50 and 52 are positioned as shownin FIG. 4. Consequently, at least the fluid in the volume provided by expanded portion 60 must be transferred to the opposite side of rollers 50 and 52 when these attain the relative position shown in FIG. 4.
  • this embodiment of the present invention satisfied the object of providing a fixed volume for some of the excess liquid processing composition and an area of variable volume available on demand for the remaining excess liquid.
  • FIG. 5 another embodiment of the present invention is illustrated which is similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • Fixed volume '56 is provided with comblike element 44 having spaced teeth extending adjacent to volume 56.
  • a portion of sheet 54 is folded around the trailing edge 14 of the film unit and has a second folded portion 64 that is folded back into itself in the direction of the trailing edge 14 of the film unit. This portion 64 expands in a direction normal to the plane of sheets 30 and 32.
  • FIG. 6 shows the material of sheet 54 folded back over itself in similar fashion to the embodiment of FIG. 5 but with its second folded portion 68 extending in the direction of the leading edge of the film unit. Otherwise, the embodiments of FIGS. 5 and 6 are the same.
  • Sheet 54 is attached to the sheets 30 and 32 in similar fashion to the embodiments of FIGS. 3-6, but with a novel means being provided for the transfer of liquid processing composition exceeding the volumetric capability of chamber 56. More specifically, when the volume 56 is exceeded by an amount of excess liquid processing composition, a shifting of the volume from area 74 into area 76 is accomplished by flowthrough passages disposed in rockable element 78. Element 78 is carried so as to rock on one surface of sheet 32 and is completely surrounded by sheet 54 forming an expandable envelope therearound.
  • rockable element 78 is similar to the comb-like structure 44 previously described but allows an amount of liquid processing composition in excess of the capacity of volume 56 to be first carried in area 74 as rollers 50 and 52 advance toward trailing edge 14 and then transfers this amount of excess through the spaces in the comb-like structure 78 into area 76.
  • Sheet 54 is similarly attached to the film unit, that is, similar to the embodiments of FIGS. 36, and has a pair of folded overportions 80 and 82 which form an accordion-like structure near the trailing edge of the film unit. Therefore, as roller-s 50 and 52 assume the position shown in FIG. 7, volume 56 and 74 together as well as the amount of volume in the spaces of the rockable element 78 provide the depository for the excess liquid processing composition.
  • rockable element 78 is shifted into a reverse extreme position which transfers the liquid processing composition from the areas previously described near the trailing edge of the film unit into volume 76 nearer the leading edge of the film unit. Accordingly, a function similar to that performed by the previously described embodiments is performed by a different structure.
  • the present invention is concerned with providing for the accommodation of excess liquid processing composition.
  • the amount of excess is predictable only in limited ranges and therefore, it is necessary to provide volumes that can expand or change dimension to accommodate unknown amounts of excess liquid processing composition within wider ranges.
  • One basic necessity of such a structure is that the movement of a film unit relative to pressure-applying rollers generally requires a relatively even spacing to exist between the pressure-applying rollers. That is to say, the rollers exert relatively great pressure on the film unit and as the rollers approach the rear of the film unit, any excess liquid processing composition is normally driven in front of the rollers toward the rear of the film unit.
  • the volume available to accommodate excess liquid processing composition normally could not exceed the thickness of supported sections defined by the thickness of the sheets supporting or maintaining the rollers in spaced disposition.
  • the essence of the present invention is to overcome this usual volumetric limitation by allowing a shifting of the volume of excess liquid processing composition within the film unit between the rollers when they are relocated at a point forward of the rear edge of the film unit.
