Abstract: 16,732. Rawlins, G. E. H. Aug. 8. Envelopes.-Daylight loading-envelopes comprise an envelope or sheath of cheap material open at the front, unclosed at one end where it is trapped, and provided with a removable blind covering the front of the plate, its end projecting through the unclosed end of the envelope. The envelopes are placed in the dark-slide, the shutter is inserted, and the blind drawn out by pulling its projecting end, leaving the sensitized surface ready for exposure when the shutter is drawn. The envelopes are intended for use in the dark-slides and developing-appliances as described in Specification No. 7319, A.D. 1905. In one construction the plate B, Fig. 4, is held in an inner sheath, turned over at the edges A<1>, A<x> and having a small flap C at one end. The blind D covers the face of the plate and is extended round the back with a projecting tab D<1>. The sheath and blind are inserted in the outer cover or sheath, F, Fig. 1, through the light-trapped end F3, leaving the tab D<1> projecting. This outer sheath is open at the front G. The flap C projects slightly through this opening and is turned over its edge, thereby retaining the plate and inner sheath when the tab D<1> and blind D are drawn away. The envelope is placed in the dark-slide, the shutter inserted outside the front of the sheath, and the blind D withdrawn leaving the plate ready for exposure. In a modified construction, the plate B, Fig. 5, with an opaque backing A is carried in an inner sheath D, which has turnedover edges Dx and a tab D<1> and the front side of which covers the face of the plate. An additional flap d excludes light from the end. The outer sheath F, Fig. 2, is closed at the front by overlapping flaps L. The inner sheath is inserted through the end F<3>, and the shutter of the dark slide is inserted between the flaps L and the loose blind D. The outside flaps are then torn away, for which purpose they may be perforated at A<1>, and the blind is drawn away by the tab D'. Alternatively the flaps could be dispensed with and the outer sheath provided with a cross-strip K, Fig. 3, near its mouth. The strip is stuck at k to the sides F<1>, and at k<1> to the outside of the blind. The strip is broken away before the shutter of the darkslide is inserted. The envelope may be impregnated with a soluble developing-compound, or such may be on a sheet attached to the envelope.
