Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an album having a film cartridge storage board capable of storing a print photograph and a developed negative film cartridge together and binding the storage board between front and back covers. It is characterized by being provided as possible.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to the widespread use of lens-equipped films and compact cameras, the opportunities for photography have increased, but these photographs are usually developed and printed by so-called minilabs, DPE agents, etc. The printed photograph is returned together with a simple album such as a pocket type, while the developed negative film is cut into an appropriate length and separately stored in a negative bag and returned to the customer.

Of these, the printed photographs are usually organized and stored in an album or the like at each home, but the negative film is inconvenient to store together with the album and is stored separately from the printed photographs. In many cases. For this reason, there are many cases in which a negative film is dead or dissipated. As a result, the negative film may not be found immediately when the photograph needs to be reprinted, and an improvement in the method for storing the negative film has been desired.

Under such circumstances, as a new photographic processing system, there is a system in which a developed negative film is returned to a customer without being cut and wound in a roll in a film cartridge. (See, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 19441/1993). Further, a simple album in which such a developed negative film cartridge can be stored together with a print photograph is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-47786.

In this simple album, a plurality of mounts are bound on the cover to form a book, and a rectangular piece is provided at the lower end of the cover, and the rectangular piece is bent inward so that the front end is the inner wall surface of the cover. It is configured such that the cartridge can be held by adhering to the above to form a triangular cylindrical storage portion and forming a cut in a part of the storage portion and folding it at this portion.

[0006]

However, this cartridge storage album is used in a minilab or a DPE agent store by storing each leaf of a print photograph on a mount and storing a developed negative film cartridge in the storage section. It is a service product that is used to return it to the customer, and since the thickness of the photo mount to be bound and the height of the film cartridge differ greatly, uneven folds occur especially on the cover during transportation and storage, and prints It was not suitable for beautifully organizing and storing the pictures for later viewing.

An object of the present invention is to provide an album which can store a developed negative film cartridge and its print photograph together, and particularly to store the film cartridge and arrange the print photograph according to the purpose. It proposes an album that can be used properly.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a photographic mount for storing printed photographs is detachably bound between the front cover and the back cover of an album, and a film having the same size and thickness as the photographic mount and having a top surface is formed. The problem is solved by means of arranging a storage mount provided with a storage board having a recess for storing the cartridge side by side with the photo mount in a detachable manner.

More specifically, the storage board is made of synthetic resin material such as Styrofoam and the storage recess is provided on the upper surface. The storage board is made of a synthetic resin thin plate and the storage recess is integrally formed. The means to do was adopted. Alternatively, the storage board is formed by stacking a number of corrugated board plates having holes forming a storage recess, and further, the storage board is a box-shaped body made of paperboard, and a cut is provided in the upper plate to store the storage board. The means for forming the recess is used.

In the album according to the present invention having the above-described structure, since the photographic mount and the storage mount have the same size and thickness, the storage mount is replaced with a normal photographic mount or the photographic mount is replaced with the storage mount for binding. It is possible to store print photographs and film cartridges together or separately, and it is possible to use the album properly.

Further, since it is possible to store the film cartridge by simply fitting it into the storage recess from above with one hand, it is possible to store the film cartridge in the storage recess. However, it can be surely protected.

The binding pieces 9 are formed in series, and a print photograph is sandwiched between the mount piece 7 and the transparent film 6. Then, a predetermined number of the photo mounts 5 are superposed and bound by screws or the like between the front cover 1 and the back cover 2. The binding thickness is appropriately set between the binding pieces 9 and the pillow member 1.
Insert 1 and adjust it so that it has almost the same thickness as the storage board below.

Reference numeral 12 is a storage mount having the same size as that of the photographic mount 5, and a binding piece 13 having a binding hole 14 is provided on one side of the storage mount, for example, a mount piece extended at the lower end thereof. A storage board 17 is provided on top of 16. The film cartridge 1 described below is provided on the upper surface of the storage board 17.
One or a plurality of storage recesses 18 for holding and storing 9 are provided. In addition, the binding piece 13 and the mount piece 16
The hinge portion 15 may be interposed between the two. This storage board 1
7 is made of, for example, a lightweight synthetic resin material such as Styrofoam, the thickness of which is substantially the same as the overall thickness of the photographic mount 5, and the depth of the storage recess 18 can accommodate almost the entire height of the film cartridge 19. As in the case of the photo mount 5, the photo mount 5 is arranged between the front and back covers 1 and 2 and is bound with a screw or the like, and the binding thickness is similarly adjusted by the pillow member 11.

On the other hand, the film cartridge 19 is
The developed negative film is stored in a roll shape without being cut and can be returned to the customer. For example, it is used in the above-mentioned new photographic processing system.

It should be noted that it is desirable that the accommodating concave portion 18 is provided with an appropriate holding means so that the film cartridge 19 does not easily fall off, and with a take-out means to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the cartridge. That is, as a holding means for preventing the falling, for example, at least the opening of the storage recess is made slightly smaller than the outer shape of the cartridge so that it can be elastically fitted using the elasticity of the synthetic resin material, or inside the opening of the storage recess. Is a means for holding a cartridge by projecting a locking piece or the like toward. In addition to this, a method in which a protrusion or the like is locked and held in the holes of the spraws at both ends of the cartridge can be considered.

On the other hand, as means for taking out the cartridge, at least one side of the accommodating recess is provided with a notched recess into which a fingertip can be inserted, or an end of a strip-shaped piece such as a ribbon is attached to the opening edge of the accommodating recess to lower the ribbon.

It may be possible to pick up directly with a finger or the like.

The album with a film cartridge accommodating board of the present invention having the above structure can be easily accommodated and held by pushing the developed negative film cartridge 19 into the accommodating recess 18 from above with one hand. Further, even if the photograph needs to be reprinted at a later date, the film cartridge 19 is always stored together, which is convenient because there is no fear that the negative will be scattered. Further, since the cartridge is almost entirely housed in the storage recess 18, there is no fear of damage to the cartridge.

Furthermore, since the storage board for the film cartridge is provided on the mount piece so that it can be bound or removed at any time, only the storage mount for this film cartridge can be removed and replaced with a photographic mount or vice versa. It is possible to remove the photo mount and line up and bind only the mount mounts of the cartridges. That is, when a large number of photographs are taken during a trip, it may be more convenient to organize the print photographs by themselves and the film cartridges in a certain group. It can be used properly.

Next, FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 21 is a storage mount, and a predetermined height (thickness) is obtained by press molding a thin plate of synthetic resin.
