Abstract
Abstract Photographic assemblages, elements, receiving elements and cover sheets comprise a combination of two timing layers and a neutralizing layer. The outermost timing layer contains photographic addenda, such as development inhibitors, for substantially terminating development of the silver halide emulsion. The timing layer next to the neutralizing layer has a much longer breakdown time so that it is permeated by the alkaline processing composition only after silver halide development has been substantially terminated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A cover sheet adapted to be permeated by an alkaline processing composition, comprising a transparent support having thereon, in sequence, a neutralizing layer for neutralizing said alkaline processing composition, a second timing layer and a first timing layer, said first timing layer being capable of being permeated by said alkaline processing composition in a relatively short time and containing photographic addenda for substantially terminating development of a silver halide emulsion layer, and said second timing layer being capable of being permeated by said alkaline processing composition only after said silver halide development has been substantially terminated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A cover sheet adapted to be permeated by an alkaline processing composition, comprising a transparent support having thereon, in sequence, a neutralizing layer for neutralizing said alkaline processing composition, a second timing layer and a first timing layer, said first timing layer being capable of being permeated by said alkaline processing composition in a relatively short time and containing photographic addenda for substantially terminating development of a silver halide emulsion layer, and said second timing layer being capable of being permeated by said alkaline processing composition only after said silver halide development has been substantially terminated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
The cover sheet of claim 1 wherein said second timing layer comprises a mixture of (1) from about 5 to about 95 percent by weight of a terpolymer comprising from about 55 to about 85 percent by weight of vinylidene chloride, from about 5 to about 35 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and from about 0 to about 20 percent by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and (2) from about 5 to about 95 percent by weight of polymeric carboxy-ester-lactone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The cover sheet of claim 1 wherein said addenda is a development inhibitor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The cover sheet of claim 3 wherein said development inhibitor is benzotriazole, a benzimidazole, an indazole, a mercaptothiazole, a mercaptooxazole, a mercaptodiazole, a mercaptothiadiazole, a mercaptopyrimidine, a mercaptobenzoxazole, a mercaptobenzimidazole or a mercaptotetrazole.
