Abstract
A heat processing apparatus is disclosed, comprising a heater to perform heat processing of prescribed temperature to a sheet to be heat processed at a fixed position, a transferring means to convey the sheet to be heat processed by sliding on the surface of the heater, and a pressing means to press at least one part of the sheet to be heat processed against the surface of the heater during transferring.
Claims44
A heat processing apparatus comprising:
- a heater to perform heat processing of a prescribed temperature to a sheet to be heat processed at a fixed position;
- a transferring means to convey the sheet to be heat processed by sliding on the surface of the heater;
- and
- a pressing means to press at least one part of the sheet to be heat processed against the surface of the heater, during transferring, by partially pressurizing one part of the sheet without pressurizing the whole surface of the sheet;
- wherein the pressing means become a transferring means having driving force.
The heat processing apparatus as claimed in claim with 1, wherein the surfaces of the pressing rollers which function as pressing and transferring means have a friction coefficient with the sheet to be heat processed higher than the friction coefficient of the surface of the heater with the sheet to be heat processed.
A heat developing apparatus which comprises contacting a heat-developable light-sensitive material or a light-sensitive heat-sensitive recording material in which a latent image has been formed with a heating means at heat developing part to thereby obtain a visible image, wherein said heating means is a plate heater, a plurality of pressing rollers are arranged to face each other along one surface of said plate heater, said heat-developable light-sensitive material or said light-sensitive heat-sensitive recording material is passed between said pressing rollers and said plate heater by a transferring means such that the pressing rollers partially pressurize one part of the material without pressurizing the whole surface of the material and thereby effecting heat development, and further wherein said pressing rollers become a transferring means having driving force.
