  • FILM STORING CABINET BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 3,466,126 which was issued to Yoshichika Sakamoto on Sept. 9, 1 969?Although such slide filing sheet is convenient for orderly storing slides and films, a comparatively wide space has been necessary for handling the filing sheets.
  • the dimension of a slide filing sheet capable of carrying twenty pieces of cmX5cm paper mounted slides is about 25cm times 30cm. To manipulate such slide filing sheets require a considerably large space, unless there is provided a means for facilitating the orderly handling thereof.
  • an object of the present invention is to propose a film storing cabinet which can store a large number of films or the like in a limited space in an orderly fashion.
  • the films or the like includes color slides, X-ray chest pictures of actual chest size or enlarged, drawings and photographic prints of full size (e.g., 1,030mmX 1.456mm), slide filing sheets of the aforesaid type, and other similar filmlike materials.
  • a film storing cabinet comprising an outer casing, which is preferably made of steel sheets and provided with a door means capable of selectively closing the casing, and an inner box swingably secured to the inside of the outer casing through a shaft means.
  • the inner box is selectively enclosed by the casing by closing the door means.
  • the film box may swing about the shaft means, so as to move its open end to the outside of the casing, and films or film-holding sheets slidably stored in the film box can selectively be brought out for inspection of the films.
  • the film storing cabinet of the invention With the film storing cabinet of the invention, a large number of films can be stored in a compact small space in an orderly manner, while shielding the films from moisture and dust particles. Furthermore, with the cabinet of the invention, any one of the films stored can easily be selected and inspected.

  • FIG. 5B is a sectional view, taken along the line 5B-5B of FIG. 5A;
  • FIG. 6A is a schematic view of a film storing cabinet including an upwardly swingable end plate cooperating with an inner box;
  • FIG. 6 B is a sectional view taken along the line 63-63 of FIG. 6A.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 an embodiment of a film storing cabinet is generally represented by a numeral 1.
  • the cabinet includes an outer casing 2, which is preferably made of steel plates forming top and bottom walls, opposite end walls, and rear wall while leaving a front opening 5 to be selectively closed and opened by a pair of front doors 3 and 4.
  • An inner box 7 is swingably connected to the inside of the casing 2 by a shaft means 9.
  • the shaft means 8 consists of a pair of vertically aligned pins which connect the inner box 7 to the outer casing 2 in a horizontally swingable manner about the shaft means 9.
  • the inner box 7 itself is a parallelepiped, in which only one vertical end 8 is open but all the remaining five side walls are closed.
  • the inner box 7 is pivotally connected to the inside of the outer casing 2 at a suitable position 'of the outer casing 2, for instance at the left-hand end thereof, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It is understood that the location of the shaft means 9, i.e., the position of the pivotal connection of the inner box 7 to the outer casing 2, is not restricted to the left-hand end of the outer casing 2; for instance, the shaft means 9 may be located at the left or right front corner of the outer casing 2, or at the right-hand end of the outer casing 2.
  • the inner box 7 is swingable in a clockwise direction, when moving out of the outer casing 2, with the shaft means 9 located at the left-hand end thereof. It is also possible to make the inner box 7 swing in a counterclockwise direction to move out of the outer casing 2, by disposing the shaft means 9 at the right-hand end of the inner box 7. Furthermore, if the shaft means is removably connected to the outer casing 2, while providing a plurality of bearing means in the outer casing at different locations for detachably holding the shaft means 9, the inner box 7 may be made swingable in various directions so that the films 10 stored in the cabinet 1 maybe removed either right-hand or left-hand side of the inner box 7.
