Abstract
A heat development apparatus (21) which heats a heat-developable sheet (A) having an exposure-development latent image formed therein while being conveyed therethrough so that the latent image is developed, characterized in that a heat development section (IV) includes a heating device (37) for heating the heat-developable sheet (A), a hold-down roller (38) disposed opposed to the heating device (37) for pressing the heat-developable sheet (A) against the heating device (37), and a temperature adjusting device (39) for raising the temperature of the hold-down roller (38) to a predetermined value.
Claims5
A heat development apparatus which heats a heat-developable sheet having a latent image formed by an exposure therein while being conveyed therethrough so that said latent image is developed, comprising:
- a heating means for heating said heat-developable sheet;
- a plurality of hold-down rollers disposed opposed to said heating means for pressing said heat-developable sheet against said heating means;
- and
- temperature adjusting means for raising the temperature of said hold-down rollers to a predetermined value, wherein said temperature adjusting means is disposed at an interior portion of each of said hold-down rollers.
