Abstract: After first, second, and third continuous members are bonded to each other in a laminated state, they are cut together to a predetermined length for thereby producing an instant photography film unit. A predetermined number of produced instant photography film units are stacked in a stacking station, and then automatically placed into a film pack in a packaging station. An overall process of manufacturing instant photography film units that are packaged is performed automatically and efficiently.

Abstract: When it is complete to unwind a first PVA film from a first film roll, it is started to unwind a second PVA film from a second film roll. A trailing end portion of the first and second PVA film and a leading end portion of the second PVA film are overlaid at a film connecting position. A receive stage and a seal head of a heat sealer sandwiches overlaid portions, and a head body of the seal head heats them so as to thermally melt and adhere the first and second PVA films. During the thermal melt-adhesion, a thermal melt-adhesion line is formed in the overlaid portions of the first and second PVA films.

Abstract: A polymer-film orienting machine comprises a processing apparatus and a tenter apparatus. The processing apparatus comprises a cleaning bath, a dyeing bath and a hardening bath. The cleaning bath is provided with a draining roller pair and a draining blade pair. The draining roller pair is constituted of two draining rollers. The draining blade pair is constituted of two draining blades. The draining roller pair is disposed at a position where the PVA film has just passed through the cleaning bath. The draining blade pair is disposed at a downstream side of the draining roller pair in a conveyance direction of the PVA film. Similarly to the cleaning bath, the dyeing bath and the hardening bath are respectively provided with a draining roller pair and a draining blade pair.

Abstract: An instant photographic film unit includes a mask sheet having an image frame and two sheets, one of which has a photosensitive layer, laminated and bonded together, and a developing liquid container disposed in a predetermined position for supplying a developing liquid between the two sheets to produce an image. The mask sheer and the two sheets are bonded together in a predetermined laminated state, with at least one of the mask sheet and the two sheets being in the form of a continuous web. The continuous web is cut off into self-developed instant photographic film units of a predetermined length. A predetermined number of instant photographic film units are automatically atacked and placed in a film pack.

Abstract: When arranging a plurality of sheets side by side in predetermined pattern on a sheet receiving member, the sheets are fed to a receiving position one by one, and are picked up one by one by a suction cup on a rotatable arm member. The rotatable arm member is rotated to bring each sheet picked up by the suction cup to a delivery position, and the sheet is placed on the part of the sheet receiving member positioned in the delivery position while the sheet receiving member is moved, in synchronization with rotation of the rotatable arm member, along a predetermined path corresponding to said predetermined pattern so that a new part of the sheet receiving member is brought to the delivery position each time the sheet receiving member is moved. This method is applicable to a process for making chemical analysis slides.

Abstract: A chemical analysis slide includes at least two plastic sheets superposed one on another and bonded together, and a chemical analysis film sandwiched therebetween. In a method of continuously assembling such chemical analysis slides, while at least two plastic sheets in continous lengths are conveyed in the longitudinal direction thereof, a plurality of chemical anaylsis films are sandwiched between the plastic sheets at predetermined intervals, the plastic sheets are bonded together at a portion circumscribing each of the chemical analysis films sandwiched therebetween to form a sheet assembly and individual chemical analysis slides are cut out from the sheet assembly. At least one of the sheets in continuous lengths is provided with a plurality of slits extending in the transverse direction of the sheet at regular intervals at the remaining portions of the sheet which do not form a part of the chemical analysis slide.

Abstract: A magnetic recording disk cartridge comprises a magnetic disk unit rotatably accommodated in a casing.
