Abstract
Strips of photographic material which are treated during travel through liquid baths in a developing machine are relieved of surplus liquid during travel from a preceding bath into the next-following bath. The intercepting apparatus has a wiper with two elastic intercepting members engaging the respective sides of the moving strip and a pivotable support for the wiper. The support can move transversely of the direction of movement of the strip in order to insure that the intercepting members remain in continuous engagement with a fluttering strip as well as with a strip moving along a path which deviates from the path of movement of the preceding strip. The wiper is detachable from its support for convenience of cleaning. Each intercepting member has a strip-engaging lip which can resemble a wedge or a flat lamina and is connected to the adjacent part of the respective intercepting member by a flexible hinge.
