Film length checking apparatus

FILM LENGTH CHECKING APPARATUS Abstract In some types of processing apparatus, there is a minimum length of film strip which can be processed. To overcome this problem, several film strips may be spliced together to provide the desired length and/or a leader attached to the leading edge of the film strip to guide it through the apparatus for processing. Described herein is a loading device (10) for photographic processing apparatus which allows a length of film (102) to be unloaded from its cassette (100) in a film unloading station, its length checked at a film length checking station (18), and passed to a storage station (16) prior to being directed to the processing apparatus. Any length of film not exceeding the minimum length requirement for the processing apparatus can be removed from the storage station thereby avoiding film jams because the film is too short to pass from one transport station to another in the processing apparatus.

Electronic replenishment apparatus for photographic processor

Apparatus for developing photographic material

In an apparatus for developing photographic material, particularly for developing positive paper in a processing vessel, the processing liquid required for the development process is placed in the vessel together with the photo material for a given period of time. The period of the respective processing is strongly dependent on the course of the temperature, which is affected by the vessel, the liquid and the surroundings. An apparatus which is simple and convenient to operate is achieved if a temperature sensor is fitted in the vessel interior at a place corresponding to the position of the inserted photo material, and has an electrical evaluator connected to it, provided in an external space of the vessel. The evaluator integrates over time the course of the temperature at the sensor, compares this integral with a predetermined value dependent on the photo material, and emits a signal when this value is reached.

Exposure is initiated by a pushbutton 11 which closes contact 2 to open the shutter and opens contact 5 to allow photo-diode 20 to charge the selected capacitor. The charging current is determined by the brightness of lamp 23 connected to the same supply as the printing lamp which is governed by resistors 25 which are selected in accordance with the gamma to which the emulsion is to be subjected on development and a calibrating resistor 26. This brightness is further modified by a diaphragm 24 adjusted in accordance with the density of the original. The switching unit 12 is of a type in which current between electrodes 13 and 15 is interrupted when the potential on an electrode 14 relative to electrode 13 rises above a threshold value.

Patent FR1589343A

Film developing apparatus

ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE A film developing apparatus includes an exposure section for effecting a standard exposure on a photosensitive film under a predetermined condition in a manner similar to that for exposing a control strip. The apparatus further includes a transfer path for transferring the exposed film for development, a densitometer for measuring the density of the developed film, and a device for displaying the condition of the processing solution which is determined based on the measured density. The standard exposure is effected on an unexposed film which is specially provided for the standard exposure, or on a part of an ordinary film with which pictures has been taken. The plural conditions may be set for the density measurement and for the standard exposure. The film developing apparatus is provided with a sensor for detecting the kind of a film to be exposed, and for selecting conditions based on the kind of the film.

Operation-Condition Display System for a Photographic Processing System

An operation-condition display system for use in a photographic processing system is disclosed. The display system includes a first communication component provided in an automatic film developing device for transmitting information concerning an operation condition of the film developing device, a second communication component provided in a photographic printing device for receiving the information from the first communication component, and a display component provided in the photographic printing device for displaying the information received by the second communication component.

Photographic film processing

In known film processing techniques, the amount by which a film is processed at each stage is determined chiefly by time. If a film is either over- or underexposed, it may be incorrectly processed producing unsatisfactory results. The present invention utilises an arrangement which measures changes in the infrared density of the film during processing to ensure that satisfactory results are produced. The arrangement comprises an infrared light emitting diode (22) and an infrared sensitive photodiode detector (26) which are both mounted in a support (20). Film (34) passes between the diode (22) and the detector (26) so that the amount of infrared radiation being transmitted through the film can be determined to provide a measure of the infrared density of the film at each stage during its processing.

Method and apparatus for processing control strip

본 발명은 컨트롤 스트립 처리방법 및 장치에 관한 것으로, 외부로부터의 차광문 개폐지시 수단에 의해 차광문이 개폐되는 컨트롤 스트립 홀더 차광문 개폐수단을 갖춘 자동현상인화기의 노광대에 세트하고, 컨트롤 스트립 홀더로부터 컨트롤 스트립들을 자동적으로 인출하여 노광대에 흡착하고, 현상처리부에 반송한다. 컨트롤 스트립의 인출을 노광대의 흡착력을 이용하여 구동한다. The present invention relates to a control strip processing method and apparatus, comprising: a control strip holder for opening and closing a shading door by means of a shading door opening / closing means from the outside; The control strips are automatically taken out from the holder, absorbed by the exposure table, and returned to the developing unit. The withdrawal of the control strip is driven using the suction force of the exposure table. 노광대의 흡착력을 컨트롤 스트립의 구동에 집중하는 것과 같은 구조로 하고, 컨트롤 스트립 홀더에 노광대의 흡착범위의 대부분을 막는 마스크 플레이트를 설치한다. The adsorption force of the exposure table is configured to concentrate the driving of the control strip, and a mask plate is provided on the control strip holder to prevent most of the exposure range of the exposure table. 컨트롤 스트립 홀더 외에 남아있는 컨트롤 스트립의 선단은 통상의 페이퍼 흡착력에 의해 강한 힘으로 노광대에 흡착되며, 노광대의 페이퍼 반송벨트에 의해 컨트롤 스트립이 출구부를 거쳐 현상처리부에 반송된다. The tip of the control strip remaining in addition to the control strip holder is attracted to the exposure table with a strong force by the normal paper adsorption force, and the control strip is conveyed to the developing unit through the outlet part by the paper conveying belt of the exposure table.
