Abstract
A photographic paper drier device includes a conveyor belt for conveying the photographic paper along a conveying path. A fan or blower dries the photographic paper by application of air thereto while the photographic paper is conveyed along the conveying path. The fan or blower sends the air into an air blow case, which has an air blow wall extending along the conveying path, and being positioned opposite to the photographic paper. Plural outlet slits are formed through the air blow wall, and blow the photographic paper with the air. Each of the outlet slits extends in a crosswise direction crosswise to the conveying path. The outlet slits are arranged in 18 trains arranged along the conveying path. Each of the outlet slits has a length smaller than a width of the photographic paper.
Claims18
A drier device for photosensitive material, including a conveyor for conveying said photosensitive material along a predetermined conveying path, and a fan or blower for drying said photosensitive material by application of air thereto while said photosensitive material is conveyed along said conveying path, said drier device comprising:
- an air blow case into which said fan or blower sends said air, said air blow case having an air blow wall extending along said conveying path, and being positioned opposite to said photosensitive material;
- and
- plural outlet slits, formed through said air blow wall, for blowing said photosensitive material with said air, wherein each of said outlet slits extends in a crosswise direction crosswise to said conveying path, said outlet slits are arranged in N trains arranged along said conveying path, and each of said outlet slits has a length smaller than a width of said photosensitive material.
A drier device for photosensitive material, including a conveyor for conveying said photosensitive material along a predetermined conveying path, and a fan or blower for drying said photosensitive material by application of air thereto while said photosensitive material is conveyed along said conveying path, said drier device comprising:
- an air blow case into which said fan or blower sends said air, said air blow case having an air blow wall extending along said conveying path, and being positioned opposite to said photosensitive material;
- plural outlet slits, formed through said air blow wall, for blowing said photosensitive material with said air, wherein each of said outlet slits extends in a crosswise direction crosswise to said conveying path, said outlet slits are arranged in N trains arranged along said conveying path;
- and
- an outer inclined guiding surface, formed with said air blow wall and outside said air blow case, and inclined by chamfering one of two edges of said outlet slits located downstream with reference to said conveying path, for preventing said outlet slits from interfering with an edge of said photosensitive material.
A drier device for photosensitive material, including a conveyor for conveying said photosensitive material along a predetermined conveying path, and a fan or blower for drying said photosensitive material by application of air thereto while said photosensitive material is conveyed along said conveying path, said drier device comprising:
- an air blow case into which said fan or blower sends said air, said air blow case having an air blow wall extending along said conveying path, and being positioned opposite to said photosensitive material;
