Abstract
A rack comprises feed rollers, sidewall members, a base member, a top wall member, a bottom plate, guide members, and a grip. The inside of the top wall member is hollow, and filling liquid is loaded therein. A processing tank contains rinsing solution. The rack gets snagged on the upper end of the processing tank. Since the filling liquid increases the total weight of the rack, the rack is prevented from floating in the processing tank by buoyant force.
Claims13
A photosensitive material processing rack detachably fitted into a processing tank containing processing solution to feed a photosensitive material in said processing solution, said photosensitive material processing rack comprising:
- a housing;
- a feed roller pair provided in said housing, said feed roller pair feeding said photosensitive material along a feeding path in said processing tank;
- and
- a weight detachably loaded into and/or onto said housing, said weight stably fixing said rack in said processing tank against buoyant force exerted on said rack in said processing solution.
A photosensitive material processing apparatus comprising:
- plural processing tanks containing processing solution;
- a rack detachably fitted into each of said processing tanks, said rack having a feed roller for feeding a photosensitive material in said processing solution;
- and
- a weight detachably loaded into and/or onto said rack, said weight stably fixing said rack in said processing tank against buoyant force exerted on said rack in said processing solution.
