Abstract
A photosensitive material processing apparatus in which, before a photosensitive material is processed, a leading end portion of the photosensitive material is cut by a cutter in a configuration which is suitable for smooth conveying of the photosensitive material within a processing section. When it detected that the leading end portion is of a configuration which is not suitable for smooth processing, processing is stopped. Accordingly, damage to the photosensitive material within the photosensitive material processing apparatus is prevented.
Claims20
A photosensitive material processing apparatus comprising:
- a roller which conveys a photosensitive material;
- guide grooves, each of said guide grooves being provided at a conveying path transverse direction side of the photosensitive material and guiding a transverse direction end portion of the photosensitive material, the photosensitive material being conveyed by said roller and said guide grooves while being curved by said roller and said guide grooves;
- and
- a cutter which, before processing of the photosensitive material begins, cuts the photosensitive material such that at least one transverse direction edge of the photosensitive material projects, in a conveying direction of the photosensitive material, further than a conveying path transverse direction central portion of the photosensitive material.
A photosensitive material processing apparatus, comprising:
- a roller which conveys a photosensitive material;
- guide grooves, each of said guide grooves being provided at a conveying path transverse direction side of the photosensitive material and guiding a transverse direction end portion of the photosensitive material, the photosensitive material being conveyed by said roller and said guide grooves while being curved by said roller and said guide grooves;
- a detecting device which detects a configuration of a leading end of the photosensitive material before processing of the photosensitive material begins;
- and
- a processing permitting device which permits processing of the photosensitive material only when it is determined, from results of detection by said detecting device, that at least one conveying path transverse direction edge of the leading end of the photosensitive material projects further in a conveying direction of the photosensitive material than a conveying path transverse direction central portion of the photosensitive material.

- and
- a cutter which, in a case in which said processing permitting device does not permit processing of the photosensitive material, cuts a leading end portion of the photosensitive material such that at least one conveying path transverse direction edge of the leading end of the photosensitive material projects further in the conveying direction of the photosensitive material than the conveying path transverse direction central portion of the photosensitive material.
