Abstract
An apparatus for transporting a photographic photosensitive material in an automatic developing apparatus has a direction-changing transporting section. The direction-changing transporting section includes a rotating center roller, at least three auxiliary rollers disposed around the center roller, and a transporting belt which is looped around the at least three rollers to travel while contacting a substantially lower half of the center roller. The direction-changing transporting section is used, for example, in a section for processing a photographic photosensitive material in solutions. The transporting belt has a guide protrusion along each side edge thereof, and the auxiliary rollers have a smaller-diameter portion at each end portion thereof for engaging with each of the guide protrusions. Thus, a stable force is obtained for transporting the photographic photosensitive material. By employing the structure described above, high-quality photographs are provided.
