Abstract
Abstract In a film unit for photography of the diffusive transfer process type including a photosensitive sheet, a mask defining an image border definition with an aperture provided therein, a pod for a processing liquid etc., bordering portions of the photosensitive sheet underlying around the image border definition are applied by dummy liquid layers in place of the layers constituting the photosensitive sheet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
In a coating method for use in the production of a photographic film by flowing liquid through a slot of a liquid supply hopper from a liquid containing reservoir upstream of said slot onto a moving web or the like, the improvement comprising the steps of: causing separate extrudable multiple coating liquids to flow laterally in side-by-side fashion within said slot, separated from each other by laterally spaced separators just upstream of said opening, and effecting liquid-to-liquid contact with each other in the lateral width direction of the coating prior to or at their extrusion from the slot opening and onto said web, such that said multiple coating liquid layer is composed of multiple single compounds in laterally side-by-side liquid-to-liquid contact throughout the complete width of said extrusion slot with the thicknesses of the multiple coating liquids of said layer controlled by the respective feed rates of the multiple coating liquids and with the lateral widths of the multiple coating liquids for said layer being regulated by the respective lateral spacings of said separators.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
174 words
In a coating method for use in the production of a photographic film by flowing liquid through a slot of a liquid supply hopper from a liquid containing reservoir upstream of said slot onto a moving web or the like, the improvement comprising the steps of: causing separate extrudable multiple coating liquids to flow laterally in side-by-side fashion within said slot, separated from each other by laterally spaced separators just upstream of said opening, and effecting liquid-to-liquid contact with each other in the lateral width direction of the coating prior to or at their extrusion from the slot opening and onto said web, such that said multiple coating liquid layer is composed of multiple single compounds in laterally side-by-side liquid-to-liquid contact throughout the complete width of said extrusion slot with the thicknesses of the multiple coating liquids of said layer controlled by the respective feed rates of the multiple coating liquids and with the lateral widths of the multiple coating liquids for said layer being regulated by the respective lateral spacings of said separators.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
145 words
In a coating method for use in the production of a photographic film by extruding multiple coating layers in superimposed liquid-to-liquid contact simultaneously through multiple slots from a liquid supply hopper onto the surface of a moving web moving across the open ends of said slots, the improvement comprising: causing separate extrudable multiple coating liquids to flow laterally in side-by-side fashion within at least one of said slots separated from each other by laterally spaced separators upstream of said slot openings, and effecting liquid-to-liquid contact with each other in the lateral width direction of the coating prior to or at their extrusion from the slot opening of said at least one slot and onto said web such that at least one of said multiple coating layers is composed of multiple single compounds in laterally side-by-side liquid-to-liquid contact throughout the complete width of said extrusion slot.
Claim 4
