Abstract
An arrangement for developing photographic layer carriers has at least one container for accommodating a treating medium and having an uninterrupted wall, a pump for circulating the treating medium in the container and having a first part formed by the uninterrupted wall of the container and a second part associated with the first part, and a magnetic force-transmitting element located outside the container and magnetically acting upon a rotary body of the pump so as to rotate the same.
Claims18
An arrangement for developing photographic layer carriers, comprising at least two containers each for accommodating a treating medium and having an uninterrupted wall;
- means for circulating the treating medium in each of said container and including a pump which has a first part formed by said uninterrupted wall of each of said containers and a second part associated with said first part, said pump having a rotary body located inside each of said containers;
- magnetic means for each of said containers and imparting rotation to said rotary body of each of said pumps, said magnetic means being located outside each of said containers and magnetically acting upon said rotary body of each of said pumps so as to rotate the same, said magnetic means including a driven magnetic force-transmitting element located outside each of said containers and acting upon said rotary body of each of said pumps;
- and common means for driving the force-transmitting elements of both magnetic means for both said circulating means of both said containers, said driving means including a gear provided on each of said force-transmitting elements, an electric motor, and a motion-transmitting element arranged between said electric motor and the gears of both said force-transmitting elements and rotating both said gears and thereby both said force-transmitting elements.
An arrangement for developing photographic layer carriers, comprising at least one container for accommodating a treating medium and having an uninterrupted wall with a wall projection;
- means for circulating the treating medium in said container and including a pump which has a first part formed by said uninterrupted wall of said container and a second part associated with said first part and forming a housing, said pump having a rotary body located inside said container;
- magnetic means for imparting rotation to said rotary body of said pump, said magnetic means being located outside said container and magnetically acting upon said rotary body of said pump so as to rotate the same;
- and retaining means providing on said wall of said container and arranged for retaining said housing of said pump, said retaining means including spring elements provided on said wall projection of said wall of said container and engaging with said housing of said pump.
