A camera casing structure for fixing thereto a tripod connecting member. A camera structure is described with a front cover having an inverted U-shaped first supporting member including a fitting hole in the direction of an optical axis and a semi-circular recess; a rear cover having an inverted U-shaped second supporting member including a fitting hole in the direction of the optical axis and a semi-circular recess; and a tripod connecting member having a substantially cylindrical member including an inner female threaded screw hole and partial flanges symmetrically protruding on opposite sides of the peripheral surface of the substantially cylindrical member for fitting. The flanges fit into the fitting holes, respectively, so that the tripod connecting member can be nipped and fixed by the first and second supporting members.

An apparatus for coating food frying pieces with grains powder includes a buttering conveyor of the string type carrying the food pieces through a steamer and under a batter nozzle that coats them before they drop off the end of the buttering conveyor onto a covering conveyor. The covering conveyor includes rotating urgers. A sieving conveyor, also of the string type, receives the pieces and conveys them to a next-stage output conveyor. A grains powder supply conveyor coupled to the stem portion of the covering conveyor and a grains powder recovery coveyor extend between the covering conveyor and the sieving conveyor.

An apparatus for automatic cataphoresis comprises means for feeding a blood serum bearing film; a cutter for cutting the film to a given length; means for supplying a buffer solution for wetting the film with a buffer solution; a blood serum applicator including a serum application member, a serum dish assembly, an abutment, a rinsing vessel, a drip mechanism and means for carrying the film; a cataphoresis compartment for forming fractionated patterns of the serum applied to the film; dyeing, decolorizing and drying stations for dyeing, decolorizing and drying the serum bearing film as it is delivered from the cataphoresis compartment; and a densitometer including a vessel of a clearing liquid, a light source and a detector for effecting a colorimetric determination of the serum specimen. In this manner, a determination of a blood serum is automatically achieved by the cataphoretic process.

A writing pen for heat developing photoconductive material including a pen having a nib formed of material of high thermal conductivity and pervious to light, for contacting photosensitive heat developing material. The pen has a light source for illuminating the photosensitive material through the pen nib contacting the material, and a heater embedded in the nib for heating the nib portion in contact with photosensitive material. The pen nib may include a light-pervious rotatable ball tip seated in a light-pervious ball receptacle.

Light and heat writing pen for photosensitive material

A heat developing device for locally heat developing a dry photosensitive film composed of a heating unit for locally heating a portion to be heat-developed of the photosensitive film and a cooling unit surrounding the heating unit and placed in contact with the periphery of the portion to be heat-developed of the photosensitive film. The cooling unit functions to prevent the thermal effect applied to the heat-developing portion of the photosensitive film from being transmitted to the remainder of the photosensitive film.

An apparatus for dyeing and decolorizing a specimen carrier of, for example, paper film carrying a plurality of specimens such as blood serum to be analyzed which have been treated by means of an electrophoretic apparatus, comprising a mechanism for transporting and holding the specimen carrier, a dyeing trough containing a dyeing liquid agent, a decolorization trough containing a decolorization liquid agent, and a trough drive mechanism for successively moving the dyeing and decolorization troughs, whereby the troughs are respectively moved with respect to the specimen carrier held by the transporting and holding mechanism up to the position where the specimen carrier is dipped into the liquid agent.
