Film cartridge case

The present invention relates to a memory protection holder for camera film and, in particular, a container which this is bastimnst, ainen to protect such film against damage, usährend he sent on the Postisiega or ayf other llJeise by the user to a Entusicklungsansfealt _s reversal institution or the like luird.

Known to be a camera film is generally _s beiepiels-, a 3Smm film, sent after exposure dyrch to use in the cartridge or to otherwise tlieise zuiaeks Enttuieklung to einsr- Filmveraffbeityngsanstalt. The shipping container used for this purpose previously consisted of light metal ynd uiiea a screw cap ayf, by means of which the lower part of the container could be closed. The Bahäli served to protect the film against damage during shipping as an additional light shield.

The invention has for its object to provide a container for Protection of an exposed film inside «nourishing the Shipping, for example to an Eotuiicklungsanstalt create the one detachable snap-on cap has, which can be removed by hand and on the Behäiteruntsrteil is sinrastable. The container is said to be an excellent one Light shielding for the film housed in the container

A further aim of the invention is to create a filmmaker which has a reliable snap lock and a safety catch word to allow a to prevent accidental and unintentional loosening of the container lid from the container base while the film is stinging the shipment is in the container.

{{lit the invention (furthermore an improved film container gate to the Schmitz of the film created during the dispatch that is characterized by reliability and economy in terms of Weruiendong and production.

Further features, advantages and application possibilities of the Invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the enclosed Drawings.

It shows:

Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view

one consisting of a cap and a base Container according to the invention and

FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the container at on; to the Lower part of the seated cap.

The one shown in the figures as an exemplary embodiment Film cartridge container 10 has a cylindrical lower part 11 and cap 12 of complementary design. As well as The lower part 11 as well as the cap 12 are preferably molded, seated or pressed ropes made of a flexible, resilient material Plastic, for example polyethylene «The lower part 11 @si is one end open and has a closed flat Bodenaand -13 as well as a cylindrical one protruding from the wall of the floor Outer surface 14, whereby an elongated inner— space 15 for receiving a film cartridge 9 is formed. the The outline of the fiimpatrone 9 is shown in dashed lines in FIG. Αι »upper end of the outer surface of the flange surface 14 a ring-shaped beveled edge part 16 is provided immediately adjacent to the open end of the lower part. the The diameter of the tapered part 16 increases as the distance from the open end of the lower part increases. To the The lower area of the beveled lüandiails 16 closes a cylindrical, collar-shaped lünteü 17, which extends up to su a Ringschuiter 20 is enough. The cylindrical liland part Saws on its outer surface two axially spaced annular grooves 18 and 19, where the first etuias below the beveled * Ufandteil * 16 and the second

subsequently'an the shoulder 20 is arranged. The shoulder 20 forms a stop for a »outer edge 23« the cap 12, meno the cap 12 placed on the lower part 11 iai? d.

The cap 12 is open at one end and is formed _s as to enclose the open end of the container base, in order to protect the accommodated in the container 10 the film cartridge. 9 The inside of the cap 12 and the lower part 11 are designed in such a way that, in the closed state of the container, they closely enclose the film cartridge arranged therein. The cap 12 is on the opposite side from the open end with a suitably shaped upper wall 21, from which its surface area 22 protrudes downward, which forms an inmaorautn to accept the open end of the lower part 11. At its, open lower end the outer surface 22 of the cap has a ring-shaped, inwardly pointing, flexible urulst-shaped edge 23. When the cap 12 is placed on the lower part 11, the edge 23 of the cap slides over and along the Uland parts 16 and 17 of the lower part until the bead-shaped edge 23 initially engages in the groove 18. When pushed on further, the edge 23 slides along the cylindrical U-shaped part 1? from the groove 18 downwards until it engages in the U-shaped 19 on the shoulder 20. During the pushing-on, the outwardly sloping beveled U-shaped part spreads 16 and the cylindrical wall part 1 - the bulge-shaped edge 23 of the cap. The shoulder 20 is used when the cap 12 is pushed onto the (lower Part 11 as a stop for the edge

Ois cap 12 "" has an annular inner wall 24 which extends downward from the upper U / and 21 and extends radially at a distance and within the jacket surface 22 of the cap? in order to form, together with the lateral surface, an annular inner cap fold 25 which is essentially aligned with the beveled end part 16 of the container lower part when the cap 12 is seated on the lower part 11. The lifand parts Iß and 1? the container base 11 are preferably dimensioned such that they engage with a sliding fit between the ring-shaped inner wall 24 and the inside, the lateral surface 22 of the cap within the ring-shaped case 25, when the cap 12 is locked onto the container part 11. Such a design provides improved light shielding for the container housed in the closed container 10

It goes without saying that drill dimensions are never paid appropriately in order to be able to safely accommodate the film cartridge 9 in the shipping container 10. The upper end of the cartridge 9 extends into the interior of the cap so that, after the cap 12 has been removed from the lower container part 11, it protrudes outward and can be comfortably grasped for the purpose of removal.

Case © the attached cap 12 unintentionally moves into the locked position leave) and rely on this lightly from the container Unfcsrteil seek to solve, the groove 18 serves as

Safety guideline that prevents such a loosening. When the cap 12 is lifted off, the bulge-shaped edge 23 leaves the anger 17 and slides over and along the cylindrical edge part 17 to finally snap into the groove 18 ₈ that the uiulstförmiige edge 23 can einehnappem in the courage 18. The groove 18 has an additional advantage, namely that it ensures stress relief along the fluid surface 14 of the lower part of the container and thus sufficient flexibility while the isaylstförtnige edge 23 of the cap slides over the edges 16 and 17, mrnnn the cap on the Lower container part 11 is put on or wowi lower container part 11 is withdrawn. The edge of the Obare Kapp® 12 is grooved bsi 26 to sorgsn for griffigers surface _p dis placement of the cap on the B @ hälterunt®rteil or "the removal of the cap from the Ber'hälterunterteil srleichterte

of the gyiindiPiPisehandteils 17 can in essentially equal to the outer diameter of the jacket surface the lower part of the container is soaped, but is preferably smaller than this outer diameter on the shoulder 20. These relative dimensions of the interacting components ensure that they snap into place, a pull-off safety device and a stop education in the above-described white.
