Photosensitive material processing apparatus

Abstract

A photosensitive material processing apparatus of the present invention includes an apparatus main body for processing a photosensitive material as the material is being conveyed, a magazine capable of supplying the photosensitive material to the apparatus main body, a shutter capable of opening and closing an opening portion of the magazine, an opening and closing claw for engaging the shutter and moving upon the mounting of the magazine to thereby open and close the shutter, conveying rollers capable of nipping the photosensitive material extending from the magazine when the magazine is mounted, a coupling member disposed for coupling the opening and closing claw and the conveying rollers and moving to and fro so as to shift the opening and closing claw integrally with nipping and separating actions of the conveying rollers, and a operation assembly for moving the coupling member to and fro while abutting against the coupling member so as to move the opening and closing claw and effect nipping and separating actions of the conveying rollers. It is therefore possible to nip the photosensitive material by the conveying rollers integrally with the opening and closing actions of the shutter, thus achieving a reduction in labor during the operation.
