A pair of transport rollers for transporting therebetween a tape or sheet material, such as film, for example in a wet processing device, in which one roller is cylindrical and another roller includes two outwardly converging conical end portions and a cylindrical intermediate portion, whereby two or more films can be transported by the roller pair simultaneously.

Transport roller arrangement for tape or sheet material of various widths

An apparatus for wet treatment of sheets or strips of photographic material has a small-volume treating chamber bounded by pairs of advancing rollers at its inlet and outlet ends. A lower wall of the chamber extends between the lower rollers of the pairs of advancing rollers and sealing lips bridge the gaps between such lower wall and the respective lower rollers. Treating liquid is admitted laterally into the chamber, transversely of the path of advancement of photographic material and at about the level of such path.

Apparatus for treating photographic materials

A film processor wherein two partitions divide the housing into a centrally located chamber, a first compartment between the film-admitting inlet and the chamber and a second compartment between the chamber and an outlet for evacuation of processed film. Each partition has a one-piece plastic flow restrictor with a horizontal slot for the film. The flow restrictors extend into the respective compartments and into immediate proximity of the peripheral surfaces of advancing rolls which are installed in the compartments to advance the film from the inlet into the chamber via one of the slots and from the chamber toward and into the outlet by way of the other slot. A system of pumps delivers processing liquid from a reservoir into the chamber at such a rate that the liquid level is above the slots. The liquid which escapes from the chamber into the compartments by way of the respective slots is returned into the reservoir.
