An automatic photographic developing apparatus for photosensitive materials includes a number of processing baths which are filled with processing solutions of different types for processing silver halide coated photosensitive materials. A same number of solution tanks communicated with the respective processing baths are provided for supplying the processing solutions, produced by dissolving solid agents, to the respective processing baths. Each of the solution tanks is protected with an openable cover and is provided with a guide along which the respective solid agents can be loaded into the respective solution tanks for dissolution as the solid agents run down by their own weight. The guide is pivotably mounted for movement between a guiding position and a non-guiding position and is urged by a return spring so that the guide can automatically return to the guiding position.

An automatic photographic developing apparatus for photosensitive materials includes a number of processing baths which are filled with processing solutions of different types for processing silver halide coated photosensitive materials. A same number of solution tanks communicated with the respective processing baths are provided for supplying the processing solutions, produced by dissolving solid agents, to the respective processing baths. A level sensor is installed in each of the solution tanks which monitors the level of the processing solution in the respective solution tanks. A plurality of shield members are provided, each shield member surrounding and protecting a respective one of the level sensors, and each shield member being detachably mounted to its respective level sensor. Each of the shield members includes a plurality of split members which are separable from each other and which are connectable to each other to surround the respective level sensor.

In an apparatus for supplying a solid processing agent to a processing tank of a photographic material processing apparatus, there is provide a put-back mechanism for putting a solid processing agent back into an accommodation container when the accommodation container is moved from a operating position to a maintenance position on which the accommodation container can be replaced with a new one.

Device for replenishing solid processing agent used in a light-sensitive

Disclosed is a trimming device for use with a photographic printer having a fixed window mask unchangeable in size and a variable window mask having a movable window frame for changing a window size. Each window of the fixed window mask and the variable window mask is shaped symmetrically in the optical axis of exposure light so that exposure light is projected through smaller window among the fixed window mask and the variable window mask. There is provided a film guide plate for guiding a film frame to be printed into exposure light. The film guide plate is adapted to allow a film frame to move in X and Y directions, and the movable window frame is also adapted to change a window size in the both X and Y direction, Symmetrically in the optical axis of exposure light.

Trimming device for use with photographic paper printer

An automatic photographic paper processing apparatus wherein between an exposure unit (2) for printing a photographic paper and a transferring means (9) for discharging an exposed photographic paper a discharge accumulating unit (A2) for accumulating temporarily the exposed photographic paper is provided, so that when an amount of the photographic paper accumulated at the discharge accumulating unit (A2) is decreased the photographic paper is cut by operating a cutter unit (20) arranged at the downstream of the exposure unit (2) and then the transferring speed at the transferring means (9) is increased. An automatic photographic paper processing apparatus wherein a paper accumulating unit (102) for accumulating temporarily sensitive photographic materials fed from an exposure unit (2) is provided at a position preceding a developing processing unit (103) consisting of a plurality of processing tanks (131, 132, 133, 134).

Automatic photographic paper processing apparatus

A photographic printing method include the steps of entering information into a storage medium as to location of each of a plurality of image frames on a negative film to be printed, entering data into said storage medium as to the desired print position of each of a selected number of said frames, and controlling a negative film transporting means and a printing paper moving means based on said information and said data to independently locate each of said selected number on said paper.

Photographic printing apparatus

A photographic printer comprises negative film supply, transport, and printing exposure sections which have mutually interchangeable supply and transport mechanisms for supplying and transporting 135-size films and disc films to the printing exposure section. The supply and transport mechanism for disc films has a section containing a plurality of disc films which are transported automatically to the printing section through a transporting section of the disc film supply and transport mechanism. The negative film supply section also has a delivery section for 135-size cut films and the delivery section for disc films, which are mutually interchangeable to supply either 135-size cut films or disc films.
