  • Patent number: 4294906
    Abstract: A photographic processing sleeve is provided for receiving and processing a dye donating instant film sheet to produce a photographic print. The sleeve comprises a film retaining sheet that is folded over along its lateral edges to form channels which slidably receive the film sheet, and edge strips, sometimes called side rails, which space the film sheet from the image-receiving sheet. After processing, at least a major portion of the image-receiving sheet, including the finished picture, is adapted to be peeled apart from the rest of the sleeve which can then be discarded.

  • Patent number: 4289840
    Abstract: A photographic processing sleeve is provided for receiving and processing a dye donating instant film sheet to produce borderless photographic prints. The sleeve is constructed of first and second sheets coupled together to form a pocket therebetween for receiving the film sheet. One of the sheets includes a central section which carries materials for immobilizing the dyes donated by the film sheet to form a visible picture in the central section. A stripping sheet forms an outermost surface of one face of the sleeve and releasably couples the central section of the first sheet to the remainder of the sleeve so the stripping sheet and the picture in the central section can be stripped away from the remainder of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 4288533
    Abstract: A photographic film unit, which includes a photosensitive sheet and a cover sheet separated by a spacer, is provided with a small access port for introducing a processing fluid from the exterior of the film unit into the space between the sheets and a small venting port for releasing air displaced from such space by the introduction of the processing fluid. The spacer surrounds substantially the entire edge perimeter of the film unit in a border area thereof. The access and venting ports extend through the spacer in this border area at diagonally opposite corners of the film unit.
