Abstract
Transparent plastic film holders are provided containing one or a plurality of pockets for photographic items such as strips of photographic film, negatives, prints or individual frames thereof which are formed by attaching two plies of transparent films by spaced bonding lines between said plies of films to define rectangular retaining pockets, said retaining pockets having two opposite closed ends and an extended openable end between two closed ends for insertion of a film item into the pocket, said openable end being closed off for a short distance from the opposite closed ends of the pocket by bonding the plies of film and forming a restraining lip extending from the opposite closed ends whereby the inadvertent dislodging of a photographic item from within the pocket is prevented.
Claims16
A transparent holder for rectangularly elongated photographic items such as film strips, negatives and prints, comprising:
- two plies of transparent plastic films, one overlying the other and being attached to one another by peripheral bonding lines between said plies to define at least one rectangular retaining pocket having a first long dimension and a second short dimension for receipt of a photographic item of generally similar dimensions;
- said retaining pocket having two opposite closed ends extending along said short dimensions;
- a generally open accessible side extending along the long dimension, and a generally closed side opposite said open side;
- said open side being defined by an edge of at least one of said plies of film being unattached to the opposed plie at the central part of the long dimension, to thereby define a central opening, but with the plies of film defining said open side being attached together by a bond line extending from the end of the central opening for a short distance to the adjacent short closed end of said pocket, to thereby form a restraining lip at said one end of the open side of said pocket, whereby said photographic item can be readily inserted through the accessible open side into said pocket and the end of said item slidingly received beneath said restraining lip to prevent the inadvertent dislodging of said photographic item from within said restraining pocket.
A rectangular plastic film holder for photographic items such as strips of film, negative and prints, comprising a first sheet of plastic film and at least one second sheet of plastic film overlying said first sheet and attached thereto by peripheral bonding lines at the respective bottom and lateral edges of said second sheet to define a generally enclosed pocket, having a generally open first longitudinal side, an opposed generally closed second longitudinal side, and two opposed closed transverse sides;
- said generally open longitudinal side being defined by a top edge of said second sheet being bonded to said first sheet for a short portion of the first longitudinal side thereof which extends from at least one of the transverse sides of said pocket, and by a substantial portion of said second sheet extending along said longitudinal side from said bonded short portion being unattached to said first sheet to define a central opening for insertion of said strip of film into said pocket whereby the said short attached portion forms a restraining lip which can overlie a photographic item emplaced in said pocket through said central opening, to prevent accidental dislodgement of same from said pocket.
