Abstract: 1,006,286. X-ray film dispenser. KODAK Ltd. May 31, 1963 [March 2, 1962], No. 8133/ 62. Headings B8C and B8F. [Also in Division H5] In an X-ray film dispenser the film 3 is fed to a roller 16, where it is sandwiched between two webs 12, 13, of opaque material to form a film package. The package passes between ploughs 32 where tapes 26, 27, are folded and applied to its longitudinal edges to produce a light-tight seal, and then between rollers 38, 39, which press the folded tapes into contact with the edges of the package as it leaves the dispenser. The dispenser illustrated is loaded in a darkroom by clamping a cassette 2 containing the film 3 to a support 1 which carries stub shafts on which reels 8, 9 of opaque material, e.g. duplex paper, and reels 23, 24, of tape are fitted. Webs 12, 13 from reels 8, 9 are fed to the roller 16 via idle rollers 14, 15 respectively and the film is sandwiched between them to form a package. The package is fed between guideway plates 18 and ploughs 32 to which tapes 26, 27 are fed via vertical rollers 30, and adjustable blades on the ploughs fold the tapes longitudinally to form light-tight seals for the package as it leaves the dispenser between rollers 38, 39. The tapes 26, 27 may be self-adhesive or heat-sealable, or may have separate adhesive applied to them. A lighttight cover is then applied to the support 1 and the leading edge of the package closed in a light-tight manner by a clip or tape or by folding, before the dispenser is exposed to light. The film package may be pulled manually from the dispenser, or the roller 16 may have a handle or be driven from an electric or spring motor. One or both of the opaque webs may consist of or be coated with an intensifying medium such as lead foil, or a web of this may be fed from an additional reel.
