Abstract
Disclosure is an automatic processing apparatus for processing a silver halide photosensitive material with a processing agent, comprising; a processing tank for containing the processing agent, conveyance rollers for conveying the photosensitive material through the processing tank, and a sealing device for preventing the processing agent in the processing tank from coming into contact with air, wherein the processing tank has a tube shape.
Claims45
An automatic processing apparatus for processing a photosensitive material with a processing agent, comprising:
- processing tank means for containing said processing agent therein, wherein said processing tank means has a tubular shape;
- conveyance means for conveying said photosensitive material through said processing tank means;
- and
- sealing means for preventing said processing agent at an opening of said processing tank means from coming into contact with air, said sealing means comprising a processing agent draining means for draining said processing agent to a preservation tank means for preserving said drained processing agent therein, so that said processing agent is prevented from coming into contact with air, and wherein a ratio of an area of the opening to a cubic content of said processing agent is not more than 10 cm.sup.2 /liter.
