Abstract
Abstract A container or magazine comprising interfitting, integrally formed magazine body and magazine cover members, each having sidewardly inwardly directed spool holding means for supporting a contained roll of photosensitive strip material is described. Lighttight interfitting engagement is achieved by the reception of peripheral edge portions of the body member in a complemental groove in the cover member, and permanent and rigid interfitting securement is effected by the application of small amounts of a suitable liquid-sealing agent to a plurality of wells or receptacles provided along the path of interfitting engagement, from which the sealing agent flows in each direction along the path of interfitting engagement by capillary attraction. The dispensing slot, extending exteriorly of the magazine, follows a shallow S-shaped path to prevent light piping. The opposite sides of the assembled magazine are sufficiently flexible to permit clamping against the opposite ends of a contained roll by means of a central, side-to-side threaded post and thumb nut mechanism which can readily be tightened to secure the roll in place to prevent unraveling of the strip material during transport and storage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials comprising, in combination, a magazine body defining an interior chamber and having laterally opposed resilient sidewalls, means for rotatably supporting a rolled-up strip of material having a central tubular core within said chamber and between said sidewalls, said supporting means comprising mechanism for pressing said sidewalls laterally toward one another to jam the ends of the roll core fixedly in place within said chamber, a lateral slot in said magazine body for the dispensing of the contained strip, and a feed chamber of S-shaped configuration along its length and communicating between the interior of said chamber and said dispensing slot to prevent light-piping through said slot into said chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials comprising, in combination, a magazine body defining an interior chamber and having laterally opposed resilient sidewalls, means for rotatably supporting a rolled-up strip of material having a central tubular core within said chamber and between said sidewalls, said supporting means comprising mechanism for pressing said sidewalls laterally toward one another to jam the ends of the roll core fixedly in place within said chamber, a lateral slot in said magazine body for the dispensing of the contained strip, and a feed chamber of S-shaped configuration along its length and communicating between the interior of said chamber and said dispensing slot to prevent light-piping through said slot into said chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 1, wherein said sidewalls pressing mechanism comprises coaxial, inwardly directed circular depressions formed in said opposed sidewalls, said depressions defining opposed cylindrical surface portions for rotatably supporting and journaling outer end portions of a rolled tape core, an axial post extending from one of said circular depressions through a central opening in the other of said circular depressions, and a nut threAdingly received on an outer end portion of said post.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 2, wherein the threaded outer end portion of said post is of reduced diameter with respect to the remainder of said post to define an annular shoulder therewith serving as an abutment limiting the relative movement of said other of said circular depressions upon the threading on of said nut.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 3, wherein (the inner peripheral wall of) said interior chamber is (of substantially cylindrical configuration) defined in part by a substantially cylindrical wall surface within said magazine body and substantially concentric with respect to said axial post.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
121 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 1, wherein said magazine body comprises an integrally formed body member and an integrally formed sidewall cover member, said body member comprising one of said sidewalls and said cover member comprising the other of said sidewalls, said body member comprising a laterally extending substantially cylindrical wall portion, said sidewall cover member comprising a recess in one side thereof of complemental configuration with respect to and coextensive with the outer edge of said laterally extending cylindrical wall portion for receiving said outer edge portion in interfitting engagement therein, and means for securing said body member and said sidewall cover member in relatively fixed interfitting engagement.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 5, wherein said body member and said sidewall cover member are each integrally formed of a synthetic plastic material and wherein said securing means comprises wells provided in spaced relation along said cover member recess for the reception of a liquid sealant adapted to be drawn along portions of said recess by capillary attraction.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
90 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 5, wherein said sidewalls pressing mechanism comprises coaxial inwardly directed circular depressions formed one each in said opposed sidewalls, said depressions defining opposed cylindrical surface portions for rotatably supporting and journaling outer end portions of a rolled tape, an axial post extending from one of said circular depressions through a central opening in the other of said circular depressions, and a thumb nut threadingly received on an outer end portion of said post.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
81 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 7, wherein said axial post extends from the circular depression in said body member and wherein the threaded outer end portion of said post is of reduced diameter with respect to the remainder of said post to define an annular shoulder therewith serving as an abutment limiting the relative movement of the other of said circular depressions upon the threading on the said nut.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
54 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 8, wherein (the inner peripheral wall of) said interior chamber is (of substantially cylindrical configuration) defined in part by a substantially cylindrical wall surface within said magazine body and substantially concentric with respect to said axial post.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
62 words
A magazine for the storage and dispensing of rolled-up strips of sensitized materials as defined in claim 9, wherein said feed chamber extends forwardly of the remainder of said magazine near the lower end thereof to define a exterior detent slot at the front of said magazine for cooperative indexing engagement with photographic equipment with which the magazine is to be used.
