Abstract: A light-shielded photosensitive material roll equipped with adapters is provided in which a photosensitive material sheet, which has been unwound once, can be wound up again smoothly. The photosensitive material roll, which can be mounted in a predetermined machine, includes: (a) a hollow, cylindrical winding core; (b) an elongated photosensitive material sheet wound-up on the winding core; (c) an annular member including a cylindrical portion inserted in an opening of the core, and a flange portion extending in a radial direction from one end of the cylindrical portion; (d) a ring-shaped light-shielding sheet disposed between the annular member flange portion and the core; and (e) an adapter including an adapter tube portion inserted into the annular member cylindrical portion, and an adapter flange portion extending in a radial direction from one end of the adapter tube portion. The light-shielding sheet is partially adhered to the adapter flange portion.

Abstract: A light-shielded photosensitive material roll is provided in which a length of a light-shielding flanged cylinder is a length of an extent which enables easy insertion, industrially, of the flanged cylinder into a winding core of the photosensitive material roll, and also, the photosensitive material roll can be stably supported at any of various types of driving shafts. In the light-shielded photosensitive material roll, a spacer sheet, which has substantially a same thickness as a thickness of the light-shielding flanged cylinder, is bonded and fixed to an inner side wall surface of the winding core corresponding to a position at which a distal end portion of a cylindrical portion of the flanged cylinder is extended.

Abstract: A light-shielding packaging for a roll of continuous photosensitive web wound on a core having on its each end a light-shielding flange disc has at its leading end a light-shielding leader sheet. The leader sheet is composed of a longitudinal light-shielding base sheet and two heat-shrinkable light-shielding strips, in which each of the light-shielding strips is tearable predominantly in its longitudinal direction and is fixed onto a surface of each side of the light-shielding base sheet under the condition that the light-shielding strip is aligned in parallel with the side of the longitudinal base sheet to project its portion from the side of the base sheet.

Abstract: A light-shielding packaging for a roll of continuous photosensitive web includes a tubular core having on each end a light-shielding flange disc; and a roll of a continuous photosensitive web wound on the core, which has a diameter identical to a diameter of the flange disc. The photosensitive web has at its leading end a light-shielding leader sheet which has a length larger than circumferential length of the flange disc and a width larger than a width of the photosensitive web, whereby each side portion of the leader sheet extends beyond the periphery of the flange disc to reach the outer surface of the flange disc. An adapter of rigid resin is provided which includes a hollow cylinder member having at its one end a flange member and which is attached to the core by inserting the cylinder member into the tubular core.

The leader sheet is composed of a longitudinal light-shielding base sheet and two heat-sinkable light-shielding strips, in which each of the light-shielding strips is tearable predominantly in its longitudinal direction and is fixed onto a surface of each side of the light-shielding base sheet under the condition that the light-shielding strip is aligned in parallel with the side of the longitudinal base sheet to project its portion from the side of the base sheet.

Abstract: A light-shielding packaging for a roll of continuous photosensitive web wound on a core having on its each end a light-shielding flange disc has at its leading end a heat-shrinkable light-shielding leader sheet having a thickness of 30 to 200 &mgr;m which shows a heat shrinkage ratio at 50° C. of lower than 1% both in the longitudinal and width directions and a heat shrinkage ratio at 100° C. in the range of 5% to 30% in the longitudinal direction and a heat shrinkage ratio at 100° C. of less than the heat shrinkage ratio in the longitudinal direction by 1% or more in the width direction. The leader sheet has a length larger than the length of the outermost convolution of the roll and a width larger than the distance between the outer face of one flange disc and the outer face of another flange disc, and each side portion of the leader sheet is light-tightly attached by heat shrinkage to the outer face of the flange disc at least at a portion adjacent to the periphery of the flange disc.

Abstract: A sheet film pack has a pack housing containing a plurality of sheet film units in a stack therein, a lid slidable relative to the pack housing to open or close an open top of the pack housing, and a plate spring mounted on an inner bottom surface of the pack housing to urge the stack of sheet film units toward the open top. Each sheet film unit consists of a sheet of photographic film and a plastic film sheath backing and fringing the sheet film. The plate spring has a pair of arched arms which extend parallel to each other along side zones of a bottom one of the sheet film units, such that peak areas of the arms contact the bottom sheet film unit at positions within 15 mm from side edges of the sheet film unit.

Abstract: A photographic film package including a film unit and a light-shielding envelope for enclosing the film unit. The film unit has a photographic film sheet, first and second carrier sheets attached to opposite ends of the photographic film sheet, and a light-locking clip. The light-locking clip is attached to the first carrier sheet by caulking, and has a pair of waved clamping portions. The photographic film sheet is enclosed light-tightly in the light-shielding envelope when the clamping portions clamp an open end of the light-shielding envelope. The second carrier sheet is formed in its leading end portion with an opening extending transversely to the second carrier sheet, so that the inward-facing surfaces of the light-shielding envelope are brought into tight contact with each other through the opening when the light-shielding envelop is grasped at a region overlying the opening.
