Abstract:
A rupturable, single use fluid container adapted to retain a photographic composition is composed of a plurality of layers including a layer of metal foil, particularly aluminum foil, and a layer containing an acid-reacting reagent.
Abstract:
A photographic film assemblage comprising a pair of sheetlike elements, one of which includes a photosensitive area adapted to be exposed and processed by an alkaline processing liquid distributed in a layer between the two elements to form a visible transfer image. The film assemblage includes means defining a liquid trapping and retaining space near one edge of the area adapted to be exposed, for collecting and retaining excess processing liquid, and liquid permeable means impregnated with an acid located in the trapping and retaining space for neutralizing the excess processing liquid collected therein. In a preferred film structure and method, the two sheets are retained together during and subsequent to processing, one of the sheets is transparent to provide for viewing an image formed between the sheets and the liquid trapping and retaining space is located between the sheets very close to the area containing the visible image.
