Abstract
A photographic light-sensitive material conveying apparatus for conveying a photographic light-sensitive material in a dryer chamber has a hollow guide member fixedly mounted in the dryer chamber for shifting the conveying direction of the photographic light-sensitive material. An air suction duct is connected to the inner space of the guide member. A plurality of perforations are formed in the guide member for communication between the inner space of the guide member and the interior of the dryer chamber. A conveyor belt has air permeability and is provided over the guide member for conveying the photographic light-sensitive material, wherein the conveyor belt can slidingly run on and along the outer side of the guide member.
Claims8
A photographic light-sensitive material conveying apparatus for conveying a photographic light-sensitive material in a dryer chamber, comprising:
- a hollow tubular guide member fixedly mounted in the dryer chamber for shifting a conveying direction of the photographic light-sensitive material, said tubular guide member having an outer side and an inner space;
- an air suction duct connected to said inner space of said tubular guide member;
- a plurality of perforations in said tubular guide member communicating between said inner space of said tubular guide member and the interior of the dryer chamber;
- and
- an air permeable conveyor belt provided over said tubular guide member for conveying the photographic light sensitive material, wherein said conveyor belt can slide on and along said outer side of said tubular guide member.
A photographic light-sensitive material conveying apparatus for conveying a photographic light-sensitive material in a dryer chamber, comprising:
- a hollow guide member fixedly mounted in the dryer chamber for shifting a conveying direction of the photographic light-sensitive material, said guide member having a U-shaped arcuate wall with an outer side and an inner space;
- an air suction duct connected to said inner space of said guide member;
- a plurality of perforations in said guide member communicating between said inner space of said guide member and the interior of the dryer chamber;
- and
- an air permeable conveyor belt provided over said guide member for conveying the photographic light sensitive material, wherein said conveyor belt can slide on and along said outer side of said guide member, and wherein said conveyor belt contacts said U-shaped arcuate wall such that conveyor belt forms a U-turn around said guide member.
