Abstract
A film cassette opener for unloading a film from, and/or loading the film in, a film cassette capable of accommodating the film. A pair of elongated members are disposed parallel to each other on the opposite sides of a path which enables the film cassette received by the film cassette opener to be moved to a position at which the film can be loaded and/or unloaded. The pair of elongated members are arranged to guide the film cassette along the path by holding opposite sides of the film cassette between them. Also, the present opener is arranged so as to press and move at least one of the elongated members which hold the film cassette therebetween toward the other. Accordingly, since the film cassette is firmly held, it is possible to positively move the film cassette.
