Abstract
Abstract A photographic print set and method for producing the same. The set comprises a web-like print sheet having a row of picture images. The picture images are printed with equal spaces therebetween on a web-like printing paper from a roll of negative film. The print sheet has perforated lines extending lengthwise of the spaces, which allow the print sheet not only to be alternately oppositely folded thereon so as to provide a coherent folded print set but also to be cut or torn apart therealong so as to provide a set of separate prints.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A method of making a photographic print set from a roll of negative film, which comprises: making a print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween on a web-like printing paper from said negative film; forming perforated lines along said spaces which allow separating said print sheet so as to provide separate prints of said positive images; and folding said print sheet alternately oppositely on said perforated lines, thereby providing a coherent and handy photographic print set.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
84 words
A method of making a photographic print set from a roll of negative film, which comprises: making a print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween on a web-like printing paper from said negative film; forming perforated lines along said spaces which allow separating said print sheet so as to provide separate prints of said positive images; and folding said print sheet alternately oppositely on said perforated lines, thereby providing a coherent and handy photographic print set.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said print sheet is provided with a blank head frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein there are printed, in place of one said positive image, ruled line images.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined in claim 2 which further comprises printing an image of a title and/or captions on said print sheet at said head frame.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as defined in claim 2, wherein there is at least one of a title label and a plain label attached to said print sheet at said head frame.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method as defined in claim 1, which further comprises putting said folded print sheet in a case.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as defined in claim 6, wherein said case is parallelepipedal with an open side into which said folded print sheet is inserted.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as defined in claim 7, wherein said case is provided on its outer surface with a space for a title and captions.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of providing a photographic print set from a roll of negative film, which comprises: making a print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween on a web-like printing paper from said negative film; forming perforated lines along said spaces which allow separating said print sheet so as to provide separate prints of said positive images; cutting said negative film to a plurality of negative film strips, each strip including a predetermined number of image frames, and putting said strips separately in a film holder; folding said print sheet alternately oppositely on said perforated lines so that the folded printed sheet almost coincides in length with said negative film strips; and putting said folded print sheet and negative film strips in said film holder in a case, thereby providing a handy coordinated print set.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of providing a photographic print set from a roll of negative film, which comprises: making a print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween on a web-like printing paper from said negative film; forming perforated lines along said spaces which allow separating said print sheet so as to provide separate prints of said positive images; cutting said negative film to a plurality of negative film strips, each strip including a predetermined number of image frames, and putting said strips separately in a film holder; folding said print sheet alternately oppositely on said perforated lines so that the folded printed sheet almost coincides in length with said negative film strips; and putting said folded print sheet and negative film strips in said film holder in a case, thereby providing a handy coordinated print set.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as defined in claim 9, wherein said case has an inner space divided into two compartments for receiving said folded print sheet and film holder separately.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
198 words
A method of providing a photographic print set from a roll of negative film, which comprises: making a print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween on a web-like printing paper from said negative film; forming perforated lines along said spaces which allow separating said print sheet so as to provide separate prints of said positive images; cutting said negative film to a plurality of negative film strips, each strip including a predetermined number of image frames, and putting said strips in lines in a transparent film holder which is foldable; making an index print sheet having a plurality of rows of positive images which are printed at a reduced magnification on a rectangular printing paper from said negative film strips so as to make said index print sheet coincide in length with said negative film strips; folding said print sheet alternately oppositely on said perforated lines so that the folded print sheet coincides in length with said negative film strips; and putting said folded print sheet, negative film strips held in said film holder and said index print sheet together in a case, thereby providing a handy coordinated print set.

A method as defined in claim 11, wherein said case is formed with an opening in its top for the observation of at least a few of said reduced positive images of said index print sheet.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
69 words
A photographic print set comprising a web-like print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween from a roll of negative film, said print sheet being formed within said spaces with perforated lines which allow said print sheet not only to be alternately oppositely folded thereon but also to be separated therealong, said print sheet being alternately oppositely folded on said perforated lines.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
69 words
A photographic print set comprising a web-like print sheet having a row of positive images which are printed with equal spaces therebetween from a roll of negative film, said print sheet being formed within said spaces with perforated lines which allow said print sheet not only to be alternately oppositely folded thereon but also to be separated therealong, said print sheet being alternately oppositely folded on said perforated lines.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
54 words
