Patent number: 5368664Abstract: A photographic film cassette has a spool on which photographic film is wound, and a cassette shell for containing the spool rotatably. A photographic film passageway is formed in the cassette shell. The photographic film is passed out of and into a roll chamber through the passage. A pair of light-shielding members are attached to inside surfaces of the passageway for preventing ambient light from entering the cassette shell, and are provided respectively with innermost, midway and outermost portions, as viewed in the direction of advancement of the photographic film out of the film chamber. The respective innermost and outermost portions are spaced apart one from another. The respective midway portions are in contact one with another when a leader of the photographic film is entirely contained in the chamber. In a process for manufacturing the cassette, a horn of an ultrasonic welding device is applied to the light-shielding members, to weld them to cassette halves ultrasonically.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1992Date of Patent: November 29, 1994Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuo Sugiyama, Naoko Yamashita
