Abstract
A brush roller is structured such that a web body having wire members is wound in a helical manner around a roller main body to which an axial end member is mounted. A fastening member is mounted to a rotary shaft of the axial end member, and one end of the web body is fixed to a holding member which is arranged between the fastening member and the axial end member so as to freely rotate relatively. The holding member relatively rotates in a winding direction due to an urging force of a torsional coil spring when elongation occurs in the web body, thereby preventing slack from occurring in the web body.
Claims13
A brush roller which has a rotational axis and is rotatable around said rotational axis for brushing a surface of a photosensitive material, the brush roller comprising:
- a cylindrical roller main body;
- a web-like member for brushing which is wound around an outer peripheral surface of said roller main body in a helical manner;
- a holding member provided at one end portion in an axial direction of said roller main body, which holding member holds one end portion of said web-like member and is rotatable with respect to said roller main body while holding said one end portion of said web-like member;
- and
- an urging element which urges said holding member to rotate to a side of a winding direction of said web-like member for reducing slack of said web-like member.
A photosensitive material processing apparatus having a transferring path of a photosensitive material and a plurality of brush rollers each including a roller main body and a web-like member for brushing said photosensitive material, said web-like member being wound around an outer peripheral surface of said roller main body in a helical manner and said brush roller potentially forming a track pattern on said photosensitive material at a portion of said photosensitive material that is contacted by a portion of said brush roller corresponding to a boundary portion of said web-like member, wherein
- at least two of said brush rollers are disposed along said transferring path at one side of said transferring path, and
- said at least two brush rollers are provided such that a track pattern of one brush roller of said at least two brush rollers is different from a track pattern of another brush roller of said at least two brush rollers.
A photosensitive material processing apparatus which performs a brushing treatment of a surface of a photosensitive material with a brush roller formed by helically winding and fixing a web-like member around an outer peripheral surface of a roller main body, said brush roller potentially forming a track pattern on said photosensitive material at a portion of said photosensitive material that is contacted by a portion of said brush roller corresponding to a boundary portion of said web-like member, wherein
- at least two of said brush roller are disposed along a transferring path of said photosensitive material, at one surface side of said transferring path, such that an angle of inclination of said track pattern of one of said at least two brush rollers with respect to a transferring direction of said photosensitive material is substantially the same as an angle of inclination of said track pattern of another of said at least two brush rollers with respect to said photosensitive material transferring direction, and
- overlapping of said track patterns is preventable by alteration of at least one of a rotational speed of said one brush roller relative to said other brush roller, a photosensitive material transferring speed, a distance between said one brush roller and said other brush roller along said transferring path, and a position with respect to said photosensitive material of an axial direction end portion of said boundary portion of said web-like member of said one brush roller relative to a position with respect to said photosensitive material of an axial direction end portion of said boundary portion of said web-like member of said other brush roller.
