Film conveying apparatus

A film conveying apparatus, which is drawably mounted onto a main frame of an image-forming apparatus, for conveying a photosensitive film into said image-forming apparatus, said film conveying apparatus comprising:

• a film stacking section to stack a plurality of <photosensitive films on it;
• a conveying device to convey said plurality of photosensitive films, stacked on said film stacking section, one by one from uppermost one, said conveying device being movable between at least two positions of a film conveying position at which said photosensitive film is conveyed into said image-forming apparatus and a film supplying position at which said plurality of photosensitive films are supplied onto said film stacking section;
• a first shading member that encloses both said film stacking section and said conveying device, and that has a conveyance opening from which said photosensitive film is conveyed out by said conveying device so as to maintain a light-shading state for both said film stacking section and said conveying device when said conveying device parks at said film conveying position;
• a second shading member, being movable relative to said first shading member, to open and close said conveyance opening;
• and
• a shading-member moving device to move said second shading member so as to open and close said conveyance opening.
