Abstract
Abstract In the production of a photographic material by applying a coating composition to a continuously moving support, cold-setting the coating and drying the coating, an additive in the coating composition (e.g., a hardening agent or an antistatic agent), either partly or completely, is atomized by ultrasonic vibration, and supplied to the coating formed on the continuously moving support. Alternatively, the atomized additive is first supplied to the surface of a continuously moving support, and before the coating is completely dried, the coating composition is applied thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A process for producing a photographic material which comprises applying a coating composition to a continuously travelling support, cold-setting the coating and then drying the coating; wherein the process includes atomizing a part or all of an additive to be incorporated in the coating composition by ultrasonic vibration, and supplying the atomized additive to the coating on the support, or supplying the atomized additive to the surface of the support and then coating the coating composition on the support before the additive thereon is completely dried.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
A process for producing a photographic material which comprises applying a coating composition to a continuously travelling support, cold-setting the coating and then drying the coating; wherein the process includes atomizing a part or all of an additive to be incorporated in the coating composition by ultrasonic vibration, and supplying the atomized additive to the coating on the support, or supplying the atomized additive to the surface of the support and then coating the coating composition on the support before the additive thereon is completely dried.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
89 words
A process for producing a photographic material which comprises applying a photographic emulsion to a continuously travelling support, cold-setting the photographic emulsion and then drying the photographic emulsion; wherein the process includes atomizing a part or all of an additive to be incorporated in the photographic emulsion by ultrasonic vibration, and supplying the atomized additive to the photographic emulsion on the support, or supplying the atomized additive to the surface of the support and then coating the photographic emulsion to the support before the additive thereon is completely dried.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
89 words
A process for producing a photographic material which comprises applying a photographic emulsion to a continuously travelling support, cold-setting the photographic emulsion and then drying the photographic emulsion; wherein the process includes atomizing a part or all of an additive to be incorporated in the photographic emulsion by ultrasonic vibration, and supplying the atomized additive to the photographic emulsion on the support, or supplying the atomized additive to the surface of the support and then coating the photographic emulsion to the support before the additive thereon is completely dried.
