Abstract
In a device for supplying a solid processing agent from a container to a processing tank, when the solid processing agent is not supplied to the processing tank, the supply device blocks the solid processing agent at an inlet opening so as not to receive therein, and when the solid processing agent is supplied to the processing tank, the supply device receives the solid processing agent through the inlet opening and drops the solid processing agent through an outlet opening in the processing tank so that the solid processing agent does not remain in the supply device when the solid processing agent is not supplied to the processing tank.
