Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to exchange the solid processing agents to be supplied with good workability without mistaking these agents by having a housing container for housing the plural tablet-shaped solid processing agents as arrays in point contact or linear contact with each other. CONSTITUTION:The tablet-shaped solid processing agents J for silver halide photosensitive materials have colors varying with each kind of the solid processing agents. The housing container 10 has approximately a square columnar container body 7 housing plural pieces of the tablets J and an opening/closing cap 9 which opens and closes a discharge opening. Three sets of projecting partition plates 7S are integrally fixed to the inner side of the container body 7, by which the inside of the container body 7 is partitioned to four spaces and chambers 7A to 7D are constituted. The tablets J are aligned in an longitudinal array state and are housed in the respective chambers. As a result, the discoloration and fixation by surface-to-surface contact of the tablets J with each other and the generation of fine powder by rubbing of the surfaces against each other are prevented. The difficulty in identification by colors is thus prevented.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a solid processing agent container for a silver halide photosensitive material, a package thereof, a container group, a container package group, and an apparatus for using a solid processing agent for a silver halide photosensitive material.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, inconveniences caused by liquid treatment agents, such as regulation during transportation, handling, and contamination of other treatment agents due to rupture of a container due to impact during transportation or storage on the user side. In order to solve such problems as space reduction, for example, JP-A-5-119454 and JP-A-4-213454,
Also, methods such as solidifying the treating agent and directly adding it to the treating solution according to No. 5-188533, or dissolving in water in advance and using it as a conventional use solution (start solution and replenisher) are being studied. .

[0003]

A solid processing agent using apparatus such as an automatic developing machine for silver halide light-sensitive materials (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an automatic developing machine), a processing solution preparing apparatus, a processing replenishing solution preparing apparatus, etc. It is possible to use parts having the same shape and size as members for different processing steps such as a solid processing agent receiving part or a solid processing agent container loading part, a solid processing agent container, and a packaging material for packaging this container, It is preferable from the viewpoint of simplifying the production process and reducing the cost. That is,
Common members are used for different processing steps such as color development processing step, bleaching processing agent, fixing processing step, water washing processing step, bleach-fixing processing step, stabilization processing step.

As described above, the use of members having the same shape and size as members for different processing steps certainly has a large effect. However, the solid processing agent receiving part or the solid processing agent container loading part of the solid processing agent using device, or the container for storing the solid processing agent has the same shape, material and color for the above reasons, and the container is packaged. The same applies to packaging materials. Then, when the solid processing agent is replaced, there is a high possibility that the processing agent to be replaced is mistaken, and for example, when the processing agent of the bleaching component is mistakenly added to the color developing solution, the amount may be small. However, it was found that there was an abnormality in image formation and, as a result, the color developing solution had to be completely replaced, which was a very serious problem in terms of productivity and processing stability. This is also the case with other treatment agents, such as erroneous dissolution,
It turned out that the wrong input must be avoided, and it is necessary to deal with it.

Further, even if the solid processing agent receiving portion or the solid processing agent container loading portion of the solid processing agent using device or the storage container for storing the solid processing agent do not have the same shape and size, the solid processing agent is not the same. It was found that the workability was low because it was difficult to determine the difference only in the shape and size of the solid processing agent receiving section or the solid processing agent container loading section of the apparatus used or the container for storing the solid processing agent.

An object of the invention according to the present application is to enable replacement of a solid processing agent to be supplied with good workability without training without training.

It is a treating agent for treating and is solid.

The solid processing agent is usually white, and although there is no known technique for describing the color of the container for containing the solid processing agent, we do not know the color of ordinary resins commercially available to date. We have considered colorless, white or black.

In the present invention, "having a color" means that when it is viewed, it looks like a color. Appearing to be colored includes, for example, the case where all or part of the surface of itself or the inside of the transparent surface of itself is colored. Further, the provided color does not need to be uniformly colored, and may be spray-shaped or spot-shaped. Further, the solid processing agent has a color when the entire solid processing agent is colored, when the entire surface of the solid processing agent is colored, or when a part of the surface of the solid processing agent is colored. And the case where a transparent protective film is formed on the solid processing agent whose surface is colored.

The solid processing agent accommodating container is provided with a color when the entire accommodating container is colored, when a part of the member of the accommodating container is colored, or when a part of the surface of the accommodating container is colored. Examples thereof include a case where it is colored by printing and a case where a colored label is attached to the surface of the storage container. The packaging material has a color if the entire packaging material is colored, the entire packaging material is colored and printed, or a part of the surface of the packaging material is colored by printing or the packaging is For example, a case where a colored label is attached to the surface of the material is cited.

A color is provided at a position corresponding to the receiving portion for receiving the solid processing agent of the apparatus for using the solid processing agent for silver halide light-sensitive material, because the entire receiving portion is colored or the receiving portion is colored. The receiving part has a color, such as when some members are colored, when a part of the surface of the receiving part is colored by printing, or when a colored label is attached to the surface of the receiving part. Not only the color, but also the position near the receiving part of the device using the solid processing agent for silver halide light-sensitive material (for example, the main body, the lid, and the container loading part if there is a container loading part). Some are equipped with. A color is provided at a position corresponding to the receiving part of the solid-state processing agent using apparatus for silver halide photosensitive materials near the receiving part, when all or a part of the member near the receiving part is colored or The case where the surface of the member near the portion is colored by printing, the case where a colored label is attached to the surface of the member near the receiving portion, and the like can be mentioned.

In the present invention, "solid treatment agents of the same kind have substantially the same color", "solid treatment agents contained have substantially the same color," , "Solid processing agents for the same processing step have substantially the same color", "Solid processing agents for the same processing step have substantially the same color at substantially the same position" The expression "includes" does not mean that a plurality of solid processing agents are necessarily contained in the container. In addition, similarly, “the receiving containers that contain the same type of solid processing agent have substantially the same color”, and “the receiving containers that contain the solid processing agent for the same processing step are substantially the same. Have the same color, "" the containers containing solid processing agents for the same processing step are
The expression "having substantially the same color at substantially the same position" does not necessarily mean that there are a plurality of containers.

In the present invention, "having substantially the same color" means a color having substantially the same hue (within a hue symbol within approximately ± 2) even if the saturation and lightness are different. So
Any color can be used as long as it can be recognized as having the same system color.

Further, as a mode in which the position corresponding to the container loading section, the position corresponding to the receiving section, the container, and the packaging material have a color, it is preferable to attach a label having that color. This is because different solid processing agents can be used with the same color (including colorless and transparent) storage containers, improving productivity, and also when recycling, the storage containers used for different processing agents can be used together. This is because the storage containers used for different treatment agents can be reused together when reused. It is preferable that this label is easily peelable.

The form of coloring is also different from the case of coloring together with the letters or symbols showing the respective functions, the case of coloring with the letters or symbols showing the respective functions, and the case of different from such letters or symbols. There are cases such as the case where the place is colored and the case where there is no such character or symbol and the case is simply colored. Among these, it is preferable that there are letters and symbols, and it is also preferable that the letters and symbols be colored. The reason for this is that if there is a character or symbol portion, it is easy for a user with color blindness to recognize it, and erroneous loading of the treatment agent can be prevented.
In addition, if the portion other than the letters and symbols is colored, especially if both are colored, erroneous loading of the treatment agent can be significantly prevented.

In the present invention, the solid processing agent container for silver halide photosensitive material is a collective term for the solid processing agent for silver halide photosensitive material and the container for containing this solid processing agent. In the present invention, the storage container is a container for storing the solid processing agent. The accommodating container may be a bag, but a container having a predetermined shape is preferable. In the case of a bag-like shape, two films are sealed on four sides, one film is folded on three sides and sealed, or a tubular film is sealed on two sides.
Further, examples of the storage container having a predetermined shape include a metal container and a paper pack, but a resin container is preferable.

In the present invention, it is preferable that at least a part of the container is transparent so that the color of the solid processing agent for the silver halide photosensitive material contained therein can be confirmed. In the present invention, the term "transparent" means that the color of the solid processing agent can be confirmed, and includes translucent milky white. When at least a part of the storage container is transparent, a part of the member forming the storage container may be transparent, but from the viewpoint of productivity, a part or all of the members forming the storage container may be transparent. It is preferable that all are transparent members. Further, in order for at least a part of the container to be transparent, it is not necessary that it is completely transparent, and even if it is semi-transparent, the color of the solid processing agent therein can be confirmed. Conventionally, in the field of silver halide light-sensitive materials, it has been common knowledge that containers for containing products are opaque so as to shield light. However, it has been found that the solid processing agent for a silver halide light-sensitive material does not need to be colored in the container and can be confirmed by making it transparent by contrast.

Further, in the present invention, it is more useful that the storage containers have substantially the same shape and size even between different processing steps. Here, the container having substantially the same shape and size means that the difference in shape and size cannot be discriminated at first glance. That is, if the container has substantially the same shape and size, it is easy to handle, transport, and package.
The present invention is useful because it is difficult to distinguish the shape and size alone.

In the present invention, the apparatus using a solid processing agent for a silver halide photosensitive material is an apparatus using a solid processing agent for a silver halide photosensitive material. This apparatus for using a solid processing agent for silver halide photosensitive materials is not limited to an automatic processor using the solid processing agent for silver halide photosensitive material,
A processing liquid preparation device, a processing replenisher preparation device, a fixed amount supply device for supplying a fixed amount of a solid processing agent to prepare a processing liquid or a processing replenisher, and the like are included. This apparatus using a solid processing agent for silver halide light-sensitive material is usually a solid processing agent,
It is used to increase the added value by changing the form or property from the state of being stored in the storage container.

In the present invention, the solid processing agent container for silver halide photosensitive material is a collective term for the solid processing agent container for silver halide photosensitive material and the packaging material for packaging this container. . This packaging material is usually used so as to prevent the form or property of the solid processing agent contained in the container from changing as much as possible. In the present invention, the packaging material is a material for packaging the container. The packaging material may be a container having a predetermined shape, but a bag-shaped one is preferable. In the case of a bag-like shape, two films are sealed on four sides, one film is folded on three sides and sealed, or a tubular film is sealed on two sides. Further, examples of the container having a predetermined shape include a resin container, a metal container, a paper pack, a cardboard box, and the like.

When the packaging material is colored, it is possible to prevent the packaging material from being accidentally opened when the solid processing agent is replaced. Many solid processing agents are highly hygroscopic and highly reactive, and if the packaging material is opened unintentionally, the performance may deteriorate and the processing ability may be affected. It can be prevented by having.
In the present invention, the solid processing agent container is a generic term for the solid processing agent and a storage container for storing them, and the solid container having a predetermined shape, the solid processing agent is a bag shape such as a barrier bag. It also includes those packaged in a storage container.

The material of the container is preferably such that the amount of water permeation is small, 10 g · mm / m ² · atm · 24 hrs (25 ° C.) or less (further 5 g · mm / m ² · atm · 24 hrs (25 ° C.) or less) The above is preferable from the viewpoint of preventing discoloration of the solid processing agent due to humidity. This is because the solid treatment agent may be stored for a long period of time, and even if it is exposed to tropical climate conditions such as Southeast Asia and high temperature conditions on ships during transportation for a long time, it is possible to prevent coloring due to moisture absorption and the like. Is. If it is colored, it will be difficult to distinguish the solid processing agent by color. Further, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent a change in size and shape of the solid processing agent due to heat. From the same viewpoint, it is also preferable to further wrap the container with a packaging material having a small amount of water permeation. The material of this packaging material is
Similarly, the smaller the amount of water permeation, the better, 10 g · mm / m ² · at
m ・ 24hrs (25 ℃) or less (5g ・ mm / m ²・ atm ・ 24h
rs (25 ° C.) or lower) is preferable. Also, the wall thickness of the main body of the container depends on the material, but it is preferably 50 μm or more (particularly 200 μm or more) from the viewpoint that the contained solid processing agent is moisture-proof and is not easily destroyed. From the viewpoint of eliminating the above and ensuring the transparency of the container, 3000 μm or less (particularly 2000 μm or less) is preferable.

The solid processing agent of the present invention is a solid processing agent for processing a silver halide light-sensitive material, and has a form such as tablets, pills, granules and powders. Of these, tablets are preferred. A tablet is a solidified and compression-molded processing agent for silver halide photosensitive materials. Among them, a compression-molded product having a predetermined size and shape has little rattling in the container and is aligned. It is preferable because it is easy to perform, the replenishment accuracy is high, and the handling is easy. In addition, the method for producing tablets includes a method in which a powder, which is an aggregate of fine crystal grains of a processing agent for a light-sensitive material, or a granule obtained by granulating a powder into granules having an average particle diameter of 50 to 5000 μm is compression-molded.

When the solid processing agent is a tablet, it is preferable that the tablets are accommodated in an array because the color of the tablet can be easily identified. In addition, here, “to be aligned” means to be regularly arranged, and the tablets may be arranged in a line as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. It includes. In addition, it is particularly preferable to arrange the tablets in a line among these because each tablet can contact only two or less tablets and the color can be easily identified. Further, the present invention is more effective when the size and shape of the tablets are the same between treatment steps.

The identification shape in the present invention is a shape which can be identified by a simple shape which allows the user to immediately distinguish it from another identification shape, such as a polygon. Further, it is preferable that the identification type is colored because it is possible to immediately determine which part of the solid processing agent container or the apparatus using the solid processing agent for silver halide photosensitive material is the identification type.
The term “different for each type of solid processing agent” is a concept including that it is different for each processing step and that it is different for each different type of solid processing agent for the same processing step.
