Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention resides in a cartridge for photographic processing agents capable of forming a variety of patterns easily on the cartridge to prevent the cartridge from being erroneously loaded to an automatic processor.

Problems solved by technology

However, this cartridge is not satisfactory in that a washing liquid is interrupted by the recesses protruded into an inside of the container depending upon such conditions as the location and depth (size) of the recesses disposed on the container when the container is washed, and the washing liquid is not distributed in every nook and corner of the inside of the container.
As a result, the cleaning capacity of the container is decreased, which is another problem.

Embodiment Construction

[0062] Some embodiments according to the present invention will be described below, by referring to the attached drawings.

[0063] FIGS. 1 to 7 show a cartridge 10 for photographic processing agents according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 8 to 13 show a container 12 for a photographic processing agent that can be provided in the cartridge 10 for photographic processing agents.

[0064] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the cartridge 10 for photographic processing agents is formed of three containers 12 (12A, 12B and 12C) for photographic processing agents and a storage box 14. The containers 12 are filled with a developing solution, a bleaching solution and a fixing solution, respectively. The containers 12 are housed in the storage box 14 as one set (one package).

[0065] Each of the three containers 12 has the same structure and the same shape and is formed of the same material. In this embodiment, each container is made of a plastic material, such as PE (HDPE (high ...

Abstract

A cartridge for photographic processing agents, which is formed of containers for photographic processing agents and a storage box for housing the containers in any selected dispositions in the box, in which at least one of the containers is provided with at least one recess on an outer side thereof, and at least one opening is formed on the storage box corresponding to the recess of the container housed in the storage box, and in which the cartridge having the recess in the container and the opening corresponding to recess in the storage box prevents the cartridge from being erroneously loaded to an automatic photo-processor; and a container for a photographic processing agent usable in the cartridge.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a cartridge for photographic processing agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cartridge for photographic processing agents formed of a set of plural containers, each of which is filled with a different kind of the photographic processing agent, such as a developing solution, a bleaching solution, and a fixing solution, so that the cartridge can supply the photographic processing agents at one time to an automatic photo-processor. Further, the present invention relates to a container for photographic processing agents, which container is usable in the above cartridge for photographic processing agents. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In the automatic photo-processors having such functions as a film processor for subjecting films to development and a printer processor for outputting film images as a print, different kinds of plural photographic processing agents or processing chemicals are used d...
