Abstract: A receive magazine for collecting and transporting sheets of exposed photographic media. The receive magazine includes an elongated, light-tight enclosure having front and back walls, top and bottom walls, and first and second end walls. Sheets of media are gravity fed into the magazine entrance through a collection door on the top wall of the enclosure. The collection door includes a media-receiving slot, a shutter and a spring for biasing the shutter to a normally closed, light-tight position over the slot. A lower downwardly sloping resilient member mounted to the front wall engages the sheets as they are inserted into the magazine and forces the sheets into a vertically stacked arrangement against the back wall of the enclosure, away from the entrance. A ramp surface on the back wall guides sheets being inserted over previously collected sheets. A compound curved surface on the back wall of the enclosure below the ramp surface arcs the sheets to minimize contact during insertion.

Abstract: System for storing and transferring liquid comprising a container for storing liquids, a delivery tube assembly for drawing liquids from said container and transferring said liquids to a second vessel, and, disposed at one end of the delivery tube assembly, a shut-off valve that comprises a casing having a first opening at one end thereof for allowing liquid to enter said casing, a valve head which is normally covering said opening, and a device for biasing said valve head toward said first opening in order to cover same. The container has an actuating device, e.g. a projection, formed on or near the bottom portion thereof, which device actuates the valve head to allow the shut-off valve to open, thereby allowing liquid to be drawn into the first opening in the casing, pass through the casing, and then pass through a second opening in the casing to enter the delivery tube assembly.
