Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a photographic film package for packaging a photographic film containing a cartridge.

[Conventional technology]

At present, the most popular photographic film is a 135 type (called 35 mm film) roll film, and this photographic film is housed in a state of being wound in a patrone specified by ISO. This cartridge is housed in a plastic container (referred to as a P case) with a hermetically sealed cap, and the P case is sold in a paper box.

The P case has a function of protecting unused or used photographic film from moisture, and a notation indicating the type of photographic film, a manufacturer's name, a trademark, precautions for use, etc. are printed on the paper box. In addition to packaging the P case, it also has a display function at the store.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The above-mentioned conventional film packaging has a problem that the packaging cost is considerably high because it is a double packaging with a P case and a paper box. In addition, various types of displays are printed on the package of the product as described above, but this printing is also costly.

The present invention solves the problems of the conventional film packaging, and provides a photographic film packaging capable of packaging the film at low cost without impairing the moisture-proof function and the display function of the photographic film. It is an object.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises a container main body for accommodating a photographic film containing a cartridge and a cap which is openably and closably fitted to the container main body, and at the same time, the whole or a part of the container main body It is made transparent or semi-transparent so that various displays printed on the outer periphery of the cartridge can be observed from the outside of the container body.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, since the package is composed of the container body and the cap, the packaging can be simplified. In addition, when the cartridge is stored in the container body, an indication showing the type of film applied to the body plate of the cartridge is visible through the container body from the outside, so it is possible to print the label on the side surface of the container body. It becomes unnecessary, and the packaging cost can be reduced together with the simplification of packaging.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

〔Example〕

Referring to FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention, a package 1
Is a container body 3 for accommodating the cartridge 2 containing the 35 mm roll film, and the container body 3 and the connecting portion 4
And a cap 6 integrally formed with the container body 3. The container body 3 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent plastic such as polystyrene resin in order to allow the inside to be seen through, and is formed in a bottomed rectangular tube shape having an opening 7 for inserting and removing the cartridge 2. . By making the container body 3 into a rectangular tube in this way,
Rolling prevention and stacking at over-the-counter sales are possible. Further, the space inside the container body 3 is sized so that the cartridge 2 does not rattle when the cartridge 2 is loaded and the cap 6 is fitted. Further, since the container body 3 and the cap 6 are connected by the connecting portion 4, there is no risk of losing the cap 6.

The outer surface of the body plate 8 of the cartridge 2 is printed with a display 9 indicating the sensitivity and type of the photographic film, the number of photographs, the manufacturer's name, the trademark, etc.
The display 9 can be observed from the outside of the container body 3 when the display 9 is stored in. Therefore, it is not necessary to print on the side surface 3a of the container body 3 or to attach the printed label sticker. It should be noted that since no display is provided on both ends of the cartridge 2, the display cannot be seen from the cap 6 side when the packages 1 are stacked side by side. Therefore, a label sticker (not shown) on which the film type or the like is printed is attached to the outer surface of the cap 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, in order to mount the cap 6 on the container body 3 in an inner lid manner, a convex portion 15 that fits into the opening 7 is provided on the inner side of the cap 6, and a convex strip 17 is provided on the outer periphery thereof. Has been formed. On the other hand, a groove 14 for engaging with the ridge 17 of the cap 6 is formed on the inner periphery of the opening 7 of the container body 3,
The groove 14 and the ridge 17 completely seal the inside of the package 1, and the photographic film contained in the cartridge 3 can be surely protected from moisture. Further, by providing the projections 17a at the corners of the ridges 17, the sealing performance of the corners can be further ensured when the cap 6 is mounted on the container body 3. If a packing is provided on the outer periphery of the convex portion 15 of the cap 6, the moisture resistance can be further improved. At this time, if the packing color is changed according to the film type, the photographic film can be selected using the packing as a mark. Further, by providing a finger-holding protrusion on the side of the cap 6 facing the connecting portion 4,
It is also possible to improve the ease of opening the cap 6. Although the above-mentioned connecting portion 4 is formed along one side of the opening 7, it may be provided at a corner portion of the container body 3 or may be detachable without providing the connecting portion 4. In any case, the cap 6 may be of the outer lid type instead of the inner lid type.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The package 21 is a cylindrical portion 2 made of transparent plastic.
The container body 22 is formed by closing one end of the container 2a with an opaque and rectangular bottom plate portion 22b, and an opaque cap 23 fitted to the open end of the container body 22.
Also in this embodiment, the type and maker name of the photographic film can be identified by observing the cartridge 2 through the transparent cylindrical portion 22b.

Further, since the container body 22 has a cylindrical shape, it is possible to save the molding material as compared with the case of a rectangular tube shape. Furthermore,
Since the rectangular bottom plate portion 22b and the cap 23 have the same size, a large number of packages 21 can be stacked side by side. Furthermore, the packages 21 can be stacked vertically.

As shown in FIG. 4, also in this embodiment, since the ridge 24 formed on the cap 23 engages with the groove 25 provided on the container body 22, it is possible to prevent moisture from entering the inside. it can. A seal 27 is attached so as to extend over the surface of the cap 23 and the surface of the container body 22. The seal tape 27 has a structure in which a thin aluminum plate is used as a base and an adhesive is applied to the base, and the seal tape 27 is opened by peeling it off from the tip portion, and the cap 23 can be opened. From the state of the seal tape 27, it is possible to easily determine whether the package 21 has not been opened yet.

[Effect of device]

As described in detail above, the photographic film package of the present invention is composed of the container body for accommodating the cartridge and the cap that is openably and closably fitted to the container body, and therefore, compared to the conventional double packaging. The packaging cost can be reduced. Further, since the container body is made transparent or semi-transparent, an indication such as the type of photographic film provided on the body plate of the cartridge can be seen from the outside of the container body.
Also, because the cap has a square shape, it can be stacked and displayed without rolling. Further, since the outer surface of the cap is also displayed, the type of film can be identified even in the stacked display. Therefore, it is not necessary to print a special display on the container body as in the conventional case, and the printing cost can be saved.
