Film processor with a by-pass transferring mechanism

Abstract

Two transfer routes for exposed films are provided in a film processor, in one of the two ordinary films which require treatments of developing, stopping, fixing and washing with being transferred, and in the other route wash-off films which require only a treatment of the washing with being transferred. The ordinary films are transferred through the former route with being treated several processes, and the other hand, the wash-off films are directly transferred into a washing tray through the latter route, skipping over treatments of developing, stopping and fixing. The by-pass mechanism for wash-off films can be swinged around a shaft, by which the maintenance for the film processor becomes easier. Processing for different kinds of films can be performed, depending on the kind of films to be processed, with a film processor.
