Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät zur Verarbeitung von belichtetem photographischem Filmmaterial und insbesondere ein im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 beschriebenes Gerät und darin zu verarbeitenden Film.The invention relates to a device for processing exposed photographic film material and in particular to a device described in the preamble of claim 1 and film to be processed therein.

Ein solches Gerät zur Verarbeitung des in einer Kassette aufgewickelten Filmes ist in unserer Europäischen Patentanmeldung No. 84 810560.7 mit der Publikations-Nr. 147 366 beschrieben.Such a device for processing the film wound in a cassette is described in our European patent application no. 84 810560.7 with publication no. 147 366.

Die Behandlungsflüssigkeit kann im Behandlungsraum des Geräts vorhanden sein oder in diesen eingeführt und aus ihm über lichtdichte Kanäle oder Durchlässe abgelassen werden. Der Ausstoßdorn kann durch den Deckel des Geräts geführt oder in ihm befestigt sein.The treatment liquid can be present in the treatment room of the device or introduced into it and drained from it via light-tight channels or passages. The ejection mandrel can be guided through the lid of the device or fastened in it.

In Fig. 6 der vorgenannten Europäischen Patentanmeldung ist ein Gerät gezeigt, bei welchem die untere Endkappe von der Kassette abgestoßen werde und auf dem Boden des Raumes liegt, in den die Behandlungsflüssigkeit für den Film eingeführt wird.Fig. 6 of the aforementioned European patent application shows an apparatus in which the lower end cap is pushed off the cassette and lies on the floor of the space into which the treatment liquid for the film is introduced.

Handelt es sich dabei um einen Farbfilm, so ist es keineswegs erwünscht, einen solchen Film in Anwesenheit der metallischen Endkappe zu verarbeiten, denn die stark sauren oder hoch alkalischen Behandlungsflüssigkeiten neigen dazu, das Metall der Endkappe aufzulösen. Dies kann ein Verfärben des behandelten Filmes zur Folge haben und in manchen Fällen die photographische Verarbeitung ernstlich stören. Es wird daher in Fig. 12 der genannten Europäischen Anmeldung No. 147 366 ein abgeändertes Gerät gezeigt, bei welchem dafür gesorgt ist, daß die abgestoßene Endkappe aus dem Gerät sogleich entfernt werden kann. Dies hat sich jedoch in der Praxis als nur schwer durchführbar erwiesen.If it is a color film, it is by no means desirable to process such a film in the presence of the metallic end cap, since the strongly acidic or highly alkaline treatment liquids tend to dissolve the metal of the end cap. This may be a V erfärben of the treated film as consequence, in some cases interfere with the photographic processing seriously. It is therefore shown in FIG. 147 366 a modified device is shown, in which it is ensured that the repelled end cap can be removed from the device immediately. In practice, however, this has proven to be difficult to carry out.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher eine solche Abänderung des bekannten Geräts, daß die abgestoßene Endkappe vor allem daran gehindert wird, in den die Behandlungsflüssigkeit enthaltenden Raum des Geräts einzudringen.The object of the present invention is therefore such a modification of the known device that the repelled end cap is prevented above all from entering the space of the device containing the treatment liquid.

Dies gelingt gemäß der Erfindung bei einem Gerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 aufgeführten Maßnahmen und Merkmale. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen des Geräts nach der Erfindung weisen mindestens eines der im kennzeichnenden Teil der Ansprüche 2 und 3 aufgeführten Merkmale auf.This is achieved according to the invention in a device of the type described above by the measures and features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention have at least one of the features listed in the characterizing part of claims 2 and 3.

Die begleitende Zeichnung dient dazu, die Erfindung zu veranschaulichen. Darin sind Figuren 1 und 2 teilweise längsgeschnittene Seitenansichten des Geräts nach der Erfindung. Dieses Gerät stellt eine Abwandlung des in der Europäischen Patentanmeldung No. 84 810560.7 beschriebenen und beanspruchten Geräts dar. In beiden Figuren haben gleiche Bezugszeichen die gleiche Bedeutung.The accompanying drawing serves to illustrate the invention. 1 and 2 are partial longitudinal sectional side views of the device according to the invention. This device represents a modification of that described in European Patent Application No. 84 810560.7 described and claimed device. In both figures, the same reference numerals have the same meaning.

Das in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Gerät umfaßt einen Deckel 1, der durch eine Schraubenverbindung 2 mit einem Säulenkörper 3 verbunden ist. In diesem Säulenkörper 3 befindet sich nach seinem offenen Ende zu ein Block 6. Unterhalb des Blockes 6 verbleibt ein Raum 8, in den Behandlungsflüssigkeit eingeführt werden kann. Am Bodenende des Säulenkörpers 3 ist mittels einer Schraubenverbindung eine entfernbare Grundplatte 9 befestigt, die eine Labyrintheinrichtung umfaßt, durch die Behandlungsflüssigkeit ohne das Eindringen von Licht eingelassen werden kann. Der Säulenkörper 3 ist in ein Behandlungsbad 11 von breiterer Bodenfläche hineingestellt, wobei die Seitenwände des Bades 11 den Säulenkörper 3 eng angepaßt umgeben.The device shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a lid 1, which is connected by a screw 2 with a column body 3. In this column body 3 is located after its open end to a block 6. Below the block 6 there remains a space 8 into which treatment liquid can be introduced. At the bottom end of the column body 3, a removable base plate 9 is fastened by means of a screw connection and comprises a labyrinth device through which treatment liquid can be let in without the penetration of light. The column body 3 is placed in a treatment bath 11 with a wider floor area, the side walls of the bath 11 closely surrounding the column body 3.

An der Seitenwandung des Säulenkörpers 3 ist unterhalb des Blockes 6 und oberhalb des Raumes 8 eine kegelstumpf - förmige Trichterwandung 12 mit mittiger kreisrunder Öffnung 13 ängelenkt.A truncated cone-shaped funnel wall 12 with a central circular opening 13 is articulated on the side wall of the column body 3 below the block 6 and above the space 8.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, ist das obere Ende der Trichterwandung 12 abgewinkelt ausgebildet.As can be seen from the drawing, the upper end of the funnel wall 12 is angled.

Am Boden des Raumes 8 sind auf der Grundplatte 9 zwei dünne Profilglieder 14 und 15 vorgesehen, von denen das konkav ausgebildete Glied 14 dazu dient, die Filmwicklungen auf der Spule zusammenzuhalten, während das Glied 15 dazu dient, diese Wicklungen zu trennen.At the bottom of the room 8, two thin profile members 14 and 15 are provided on the base plate 9, of which the concave member 14 serves to hold the film windings together on the spool, while the member 15 serves to separate these windings.

Gemäß Fig. 1 befindet sich im Block 6 eine geladene Filmkassette C mit einer oberen Endkappe B2 und einer unteren Endkappe Bl.1, in block 6 there is a loaded film cassette C with an upper end cap B2 and a lower end cap B1.

In der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung ist der Deckel 1 weiter über den Säulenkörper 3 heruntergeschraubt. Dies veranlaßt den Ausstoßdorn 5, den auf einer Spule aufgewickelten Film J teilweise aus dem Block 6 herauszustoßen. Dabei ist das Ende der Spule F beim Eindringen durch die kreisrunde Öffnung 13 in das Innere des Trichterkegelstumpfes 12 gezeigt, während die obere Endkappe B2 außerhalb der Trichterwandung 12 festgehalten wird.In the position shown in FIG. 2, the cover 1 is further screwed down over the column body 3. This causes the ejection mandrel 5 to partially eject the film J wound on a spool from the block 6. There at the end of the coil F is shown when penetrating through the circular opening 13 into the interior of the truncated cone 12, while the upper end cap B2 is held outside the funnel wall 12.

Der Betrieb des Geräts erfolgt in der gleichen Weise wie in der Europäischen Patentanmeldung No. 147 366 beschrieben. Kurz gesagt, der Zylinderkörper 3 wird in das leere Behandlungsbad 11 gestellt.The device is operated in the same way as in European Patent Application No. 147 366. In short, the cylinder body 3 is placed in the empty treatment bath 11.

Der Deckel 1 wird nun vom Zylinderkörper 3 abgeschraubt und eine mit einem völlig aufgewickelten Film geladene Kassette wird in den Block 6 eingesetzt. Das freie Ende des Ausstoßdornes 5 wird auf das obere Spulenende aufgesetzt und der Deckel 1 wird dann auf den Zylinderkörper 3 heruntergeschraubt. Hierdurch wird die untere Endkappe Bl von der Kassette C abgesprengt und kommt, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, auf die Außenseite der Trichterwandung 12 zu liegen, wodurch verhindert wird, daß sie in den Raum 8 herabfällt. Beim weiteren Abwärtsschrauben des Deckels 1 wird der Film J auf der Spule aus der Kassette C herausgedrückt und gelangt durch die Öffnung 13 der Trichterwandung 12 in eine solche Stellung im Raum 8, daß das Spulenende sich zwischen die Glieder 14 und 15 zu liegen kommt.The cover 1 is now unscrewed from the cylinder body 3 and a cassette loaded with a completely wound film is inserted into the block 6. The free end of the ejection mandrel 5 is placed on the upper end of the coil and the cover 1 is then screwed down onto the cylinder body 3. As a result, the lower end cap B1 is blasted off the cassette C and, as shown in FIG. 2, comes to lie on the outside of the funnel wall 12, thereby preventing it from falling into the space 8. When the cover 1 is further screwed down, the film J on the spool is pressed out of the cassette C and passes through the opening 13 of the funnel wall 12 into a position in the space 8 such that the end of the spool comes to lie between the members 14 and 15.

Der Zylinderkörper 3 mit dem damit verschraubten Deckel 1 wird dann aus dem Bad 11 herausgehoben, und genügend Be-handlungsflüssigkeit wird in das Bad 11 eingebracht, um den gesamten Film im Raum 8 zu bedecken. Der Zylinderkörper 3 mit dem Deckel 1 wird dann sorgfältig in das Bad 11 eingeführt, wobei die Behandlungsflüssigkeit durch das Flüssigkeitslabyrinthsystem in der Grundplatte 9 in den Raum gedrückt wird.The cylinder body 3 with the lid screwed to 1 is then lifted out of the bath 11, and sufficient B e-treatment liquid is introduced into the bath 11, to cover the entire film in the space. 8 The cylinder body 3 with the cover 1 is then carefully introduced into the B ad 11, wherein the treatment liquid is forced through the liquid labyrinth system in the base plate 9 in the room.

Der Ausstoßdorn 5, der an seinem einen Ende die Spule E mit dem auf ihr aufgewickelten Film J trägt, wird dann gedreht, indem das Außenende 17 auf den Deckel 1 von Hand gedreht wird.The ejection mandrel 5, which carries the spool E with the film J wound thereon at one end, is then rotated by turning the outer end 17 onto the cover 1 by hand.

Dieses Drehen des Filmes J in der Behandlungsflüsssigkeit verursacht ein ständiges Auseinanderspreizen und Wiederzusammenwickeln der Windungen des Filmes während dieser über die Profilglieder 14 und 15 gleitet.This rotation of the film J in the treatment liquid causes the spreads of the film to spread apart and rewound as it slides over the profile members 14 and 15.

Nach Ablauf der erforderlichen Behandlungszeit wird der Zylinderkörper 3 aus dem Bad 11 herausgehoben, und die Behandlungsflüssigkeit fließt dabei aus dem Innenraum 8 in das Bad zurück und wird gewöhnlich verworfen. Entweder wird nun eine andere Behandlungsflüssigkeit in das Bad 11 eingeführt, oder es wird, falls ein Monobad verwendet wurde, die Grundplatte 9 vom Zylinderkörper 3 abgeschraubt und der Film J aus dem Körper 3 entfernt und gewaschen.After the required treatment time has elapsed, the cylinder body 3 is lifted out of the bath 11 and the treatment liquid flows back from the interior 8 into the bath and is usually discarded. Either a different treatment liquid is now introduced into the bath 11 or, if a monobath was used, the base plate 9 is unscrewed from the cylinder body 3 and the film J is removed from the body 3 and washed.

Der Deckel 1 wird dann vom Körper 3 abgeschraubt und der Block 6 aus diesem herausgenommen und der Kassettenkörper daraus entfernt. Der Zylinderkörper 3 wird dann auf den Kopf gestellt, um die Endkappe Bl aus ihm zu entfernen.The lid 1 is then unscrewed from the body 3 and the block 6 is removed therefrom and the cassette body is removed therefrom. The cylinder body 3 is then turned upside down to remove the end cap B1 from it.

Manchmal werden bessere Behandlungsergebnisse erzielt, wenn die Behandlungsflüssigkeit bereits im Raum 8 anwesend ist, bevor der Film in diesen Raum herabgedrückt wird.Sometimes better treatment results are achieved when the B ehandlungsflüssigkeit already in the room 8 is present before the film is pushed down into this space.
