Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate opening of a film package with reliability by fixing the magazine section for containing a film package to the fixing section then pushing into a pushing into a picture image recording unit thereby enabling simultaneous peeling of a member for shielding the light against the not yet exposed film. CONSTITUTION:Not yet exposed film 38 is contained in the container body 29 of a light shielding container 32 constituting a film package 31 then an upper cover 34 is bonded to the upper face section. A flexible light shielding member 36 is sticked under peelable condition onto the upper cover 34 to leave the not yet exposed film 38 under light shielding condition. Then the package 31 is contained in the containing section of the magazine section 33 to secure the projected end section 42 of the upper cover 34 through a pin 64b to the fixing table 62 thereafter the magazine section 33 is fitted to the supporting frame 76 at the fixing section 35 thus to stop stopping section 48a at one end of the light shielding member 36 through a pin 80a to the supporting frame 76. Such a film magazine 30 is mounted in the inserting port 86 of a picture image recording unit 84 where the light shielding member 36 is peeled from the upper cover 34 thus to open the open section 40.

に供される。Here, in order to record an image on a recording material, an image recording device, for example, an image output laser printer device is employed. This device stores photosensitive film, which is a recording material, through a magazine, etc., takes out the film one by one using a sheet-fed mechanism that includes a suction cup, etc., and then collects the electrical signals obtained from the stimulable phosphor sheet. A predetermined image is recorded by irradiating the film with laser light based on the following. This film is then conveyed into an automatic developing device, and after undergoing a developing process, is stored at a predetermined location or is directly provided for diagnosis.

を第１図ａおよびｂに示す。Incidentally, in the image output laser printer device, when loading the film into the device, as in the conventional X-ray imaging device described above, the film must not be irradiated with external light, but in order to improve operability, It is strongly desired to load film in a bright room, and various bright room loading methods have been proposed to make this possible. An example of this bright room loading method is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-5141. This type of prior art is shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b.

In this case, one end of the flexible light shielding member 12 is curved vertically upward, and a locking hole 1 is provided at the edge of the one end.
2a is bored.

れ、開口部４がＸ線撮影装置等内において開放される。The film package 2 thus constructed is stored in a magazine 14 shown in FIG. 1, and positioned by a storage section 16. Here, a shutter member 1 is provided in the magazine 14, and a hole 1 of the flexible light shielding member 12 is connected to a locking protrusion 20 implanted at the end of the shutter member 18.
After the magazine 2a is attached, the magazine 14 is loaded into an X-ray imaging device (not shown) or the like. Next, the other end of the shutter member 18 is pulled out from the magazine 14 by manual operation. As a result, the flexible light-shielding member 12 is peeled off from the light-shielding container 6 by the locking protrusion 20 that engages with the hole 12a, and the opening 4 is opened in the X-ray imaging apparatus or the like.

になるため、近隣の他の作業を妨害する可能性もある。However, in this prior art, as described above, after the magazine 14 is attached to the X-ray imaging apparatus or the like, it is necessary to manually pull out the shutter member from the magazine 14. Furthermore, when the shutter member is pulled out on a daily basis, the operator must always hold down the magazine 14 so that it does not come off from the device, which is extremely troublesome for the operator. Moreover, since the shutter member 18 pulled out from the magazine 14 protrudes from the magazine 14 at least when the unexposed film 10 is taken out by the device, there is a possibility that it may interfere with other work in the vicinity.

There are obvious inconveniences such as the inability to provide services.

業等に同等支障を生じさせる虞れはない。As described above, according to the present invention, the magazine section that stores the film package is fitted into the attachment section in a bright room, and one end of the flexible light shielding member attached to the opening of the film package is attached to the attachment section. The film package can be loaded and opened in a light-shielded state simply by locking the magazine into the image recording apparatus and then pushing the magazine into the image recording apparatus. Moreover, since the flexible light-shielding member is peeled off as it is pushed into the device, the film package can be opened easily and reliably. That is, since the pushing operation is accompanied by the effect of peeling off the light shielding member, there is no need to forget to unseal the light shielding member itself, and there is no risk of causing any trouble in the film removal work or conveyance work on the device side.
