Abstract
A silver halide photographic material processing apparatus is provided with a solid processing agent replenishing unit which includes a supplying device for supplying a solid processing agent to the tank; and a constructing member for forming a guide passage in the tank in such an arrangement that the guide passage receives the solid processing agent from the supplying device, guides the solid processing agent to an upper portion above a filter, and feed the solid processing agent from the upper portion into the processing solution.
Claims16
A silver halide photographic material processing apparatus, comprising:
- a tank in which a processing solution is stored,
- a filter provided in the tank at a position connectable with a pump;
- and
- a solid processing agent replenishing unit which comprises:
- a container in which a solid processing agent is stored;
- a supplying device for supplying the solid processing agent in the container to the tank;
- and
- a passage defining device for forming a guide passage in the tank in such an arrangement that the guide passage receives the solid processing agent from the supplying device, guides the solid processing agent to an upper portion above the filter, and feeds the solid processing agent from the upper portion into the processing solution, wherein the passage defining device has an upper end and a lower end, and the lower end is positioned above the filter.
A silver halide photographic material processing apparatus, comprising:
- a tank in which a processing solution is stored,
- a filter provided in the tank at a position connectable with a pump;
- and
- a solid processing agent replenishing unit which comprises:
- a container in which a solid processing agent is stored;
- a supplying device for supplying the solid processing agent in the container to the tank;
- and
- a passage defining device for forming a guide passage in the tank in such an arrangement that the guide passage receives the solid processing agent from the supplying device, guides the solid processing agent to an upper portion above the filter, and feeds the solid processing agent from the upper portion into the processing solution;
- and
- wherein the filter is surrounded by a punched partition plate so that discharged solid processing agent is prevented from directly contacting with the filter.
A silver halide photographic material processing apparatus, comprising:
- a tank in which a processing solution is stored,
- a filter provided in the tank at a position connectable with a pump;
- and
- a solid processing agent replenishing unit which comprises:
- a container in which a tablet type solid processing agent is stored;
- a supplying device for supplying the tablet type solid processing agent in the container to the tank;
- and
- a passage defining device for forming a guide passage in the tank in such an arrangement that the guide passage receives tablet type solid processing agent from the supplying device, guides the tablet type solid processing agent to an upper portion above the filter, and feeds the tablet type solid processing agent from the upper portion into the processing solution.
