THIS INVENTION IS DIRECTED TO MICROSCOPIC CAPSULES COMPRISING A CONTINUOUS SYNTHETIC POLYMERIC LAYER SURROUNDING A NUCLEUS COMPOSED OF PHOTOSENSITIVE SILVER HALIDE GRAINS WHEREIN THE POLYMERIC LAYER IS OF SUFFICIENT THICKNESS TO SUBSTANTIALLY OVERCOME THE ATTRACTIVE FORCES OF SAID SILVER HALIDE GRAINS FOR ADJACENT SILVER HALIDE GRAINS. THUS, THE PRESENT INVENTION CONTEMPLATES INDIVIDUAL GRAINS OF PHOTOSENSITIVE SILVER HALIDE WHICH ARE SPATIALLY SEPARATED FROM ADJACENT GRAINS BY MEANS OF A POLYMERIC LAYER ENCASING THE GRAINS. THE PRESENT INVENTION IS ALSO DIRECTED TO METHODS FOR PROVIDING SUCH ENCAPSULATED PRODUCTS AND TO PHOTOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS EMPLOYING SAID CAPSULES.

FOR TRAPPING AND RETAINING THE EXCESS PROCESSING FLUID DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN AN EXPOSED PHTOTSENSITIVE SHEET AND A SECOND SHEET SUPERPOSED THEREWITH WHEN THE TWO ARE MOVED LONGITUDINALLY BETWEEN A PAIR OF PRESSURE APPLYING MEMBERS TO RUPTURE A POD CONTAINING AN AMOUNT OF PROCESSING SOLUTION IN EXCESS OF THAT REQUIRED TO PROCESS THE EXPOSED LATENT IMAGE, THE TRAILING END OF ONE OF THE SHEETS IS EXTENTED BEYOND THE IMAGE AREA THEREOF AND IS MEDIALLY FOLDED BACK UPON ITSELF TO PROVIDE A FLAP THE FREE END OF WHICH WILL EXTEND BACK AT LEAST TO THE TRAILING END OF THE OTHER SHEET, AND PROBABLY BEYOND AND UNDER THE TRAILING END OF THE OTHER SHEET, TO FORM A TRAP FOR THE EXCESS PROCESSING FLUID. THE SHEET WHOSE TRAILING END IS FOLDED BACK TO FORM THE TRAP SHOULD BE MADE OF MATERIAL HAVING SUFFICIENT RIGIDITY AND/OR RESILIENCE THAT IT RESISTS FOLDING SO THAT THE FREE END OF THE FOLDED-BACK FLAP NORMALLY REMAINS SPACED FROM THE SHEET PROPER TO FROM AN OPEN MOUTH FOR RECEIVING EXCESS PROCESSING FLUID. THE LONGITUDINAL EDGES OF THE FOLDED-BACK TRAP ARE SEALED TOGETHER IN SUCH A WAY AS TO PREVENT THE FLOW OF PROCESSING FLUID FROM THE EDGES BUT TO ALLOW THE ESCAPE OF AIR THEREFROM. AT LEAST ONE PROTUBERANCE IS EMBOSSED IN EACH OF THE SEALED EDGES TO EFFECT A SIGNIFICANT SEPARATION OF THE PRESSURE APPLYING MEMBERS AS THE TRAP PASSES THEREBETWEEN WHEREBY THE FOLDED-BACKED FLAP WILL NOT BE COMPRESSED SUFFICIENTLY TO CAUSE A BACK FLOW OF ANY FLUID WHICH HAS ENTERED THE TRAP.

ING THE PH OF THE PROCESSING COMPOSITION TO A SECOND PH AT WHICH THE DYE IMAGE-FORMING MATERIAL IS SUBSTANTIALLY NONDIFFUSIBLE SUBSEQUENT TO SUBSTANTIAL DYE TRANSFER IMAGE FORMATION IN THE RECEPTION LAYER.
THE FILM UNITS ADDITIONALLY INCLUDE, IN COMBINATION, MEANS FOR INTERPOSING, SUBSEQUENT TO PHOTOEXPOSURE OF THE SILVER HALIDE LAYER, INTERMEDIATE THE SILVER HALIDE LAYER AND THE RECEPTION LAYER, AN OPACIFYING AGENT IN A CONCENTRATION EFFECTIVE TO MASK DYE IMAGE-PROVIDING MATERIAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHOTOSENSITIVE LAYER OF PREFERABLY COMPRISING AN INORGANIC REFLECTING PIGMENT DISPERSION CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE OPTICAL FILTER AGENT IN A CONCENTRATION EFFECTIVE TO PROVIDE A LAYER EXHIBITING OPTICAL TRANSMISSION DENSITY >$6.0 DENSITY UNITS WITH RESPECT TO INCIDENT RADIATION ACTINIC TO THE PHOTOSENSITIVE SILVER HALIDE LAYER AND OPTICAL REFLECTION DENSITY THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO PHOTOGRAPHY AND, MORE PARTICULARLY, TO REFLECTION TYPE DIFFUSION TRANSFER PROCESS PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM UNITS WHICH COMPRISE A COMPOSITE PHOTOSENSITIVE ELEMENT ADAPTED TO PROVIDE, BY DIFFUSIN TRANSFER PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING, SELECTIVE INTEGRAL NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE IMAGE RECORDATION OF INCIDENT ACTINIC RADIATION AS A FUNCTION OF THE POINT-TO-POINT DEGREE OF PHOTOSENSITIVE ELEMENT EXPOSURE, WHICH ELEMENT INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF SEQUENTIAL LAYERS INCLUDING A DIMENSIONALLY STABLE LAYER PREFERABLY OPAQUE TO INCIDENT ACTINIC RADIATION; A PHOTOSENSITIVE SILVER HALIDE LAYER HAVING ASSOCIATED THEREWITH DYE IMAGE-FORMING MATERIAL WHICH IS DIFFUSIBLE DURING PROCESSING AS A FUNCTION OF THE POINT-TO-POINT DEGREE OF SILVER HALIDE LAYER EXPOSURE TO INCIDENT ACTINIC RADIATION; A LAYER ADAPTED TO RECEIVE IMAGE-FORMING MATERIAL DIFFUSING THERETO; AND A DIMENSIONALLY STABLE LAYER TRANSPARENT TO INCIDENT RADIATION.

The disclosure relates to photographic film packs containing a plurality of self-processing film units adapted to be exposed and withdrawn from the film pack in sequence. A novel arrangement of restraining tabs provided by the leader members of the respective film units insures proper sequential withdrawal of the film units and prevents the removal of each successive unit from effecting movement of any of the remaining units.
