Abstract
The invention relates to the packing of photographic rolls. The packing comprises a base 200 adapted to the handling by lift truck, a lightproof envelope 230 and horizontal spindles 220 to receive rolls 191 provided with winding tubes 190. The diameter of the spindles varies between a first dimension where the winding tubes are rotationally and translationally immobilized and a second dimension where said winding tubes are free. Used for collective packing of photosensitive rolls.
Claims14
Reusable collective packing for photographic materials wound round tubes so as to form rolls having at least one hub member comprising:
- a) a lightproof base adapted for handling by lift truck,
- b) a rigid lightproof case which can be connected to the base through lightproof means;
- and
- c) at least one spindle located within the room delimited by the lightproof base and the case incorporating a free end adapted so as to be able to receive said rolls, with the other end fixed to said base by means of a frame, said case being connected to said base in such a way so as to enable the free end of said spindle to be freed in order to permit the introduction of roll over said spindle and said spindle lying parallel with the base and including locking means to vary the diameter between a first dimension, where said winding tubes can slide onto this spindle, and a second dimension, greater than the first, where said winding tubes are immobilized.
Packing process for web materials in which webs, obtained by cutting large width sheets into webs, are wound round tubes held on a cutting machine spindle so as to form rolls;
- after cutting the sheet and forming the rolls, this process consists of sliding the rolls from the cutting machine spindle directly onto the spindle of a collective packing system.
Reusable collective packing for photographic web materials wound round tubes so as to form rolls, comprising:
- a) a base having a primary surface and adapted for handling by lift truck,
- b) a lightproof case which can be connected to the base,
- c) means for supporting, inside the case several rolls of photographic material so that the axis of said several rolls are substantially parallel to said primary surface of said base.
