Abstract: A photographic exposure apparatus includes an exposure lens, a lens carriage having a light shield region and a lens mount region, and a device to move the lens carriage selectively to a position with the lens extending across an axis of exposure light. A first shutter controls the exposure light. A second shutter prevents the exposure to scattered light. A mechanical linking device is responsive to the movement of the lens carriage to close and open the second shutter. When the lens on the lens carriage is dislocated from the axis of exposure light in a standby mode, the mechanical linking device closes the second shutter to interrupt scattered light. When the lens extends across the axis of exposure light in an exposure mode, the mechanical linking device opens the second shutter.

Abstract: A conveyor belt includes a PET film as a core and an urethane layer formed on a surface of the PET film by screen-printing urethane beads containing ink. This conveyor belt is for use in a belt type photosensitive-material storage section of a photosensitive-material transport apparatus in order to absorb difference in processing capacities of a printing section and a developing section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a photographic processing apparatus including a construction for cleaning a magnetic recording portion of a photographic film having such magnetic recording portion. The apparatus includes a transporting mechanism for transporting the film along a film transport passage, a magnetic head for recording magnetic information recorded in the magnetic recording portion, and a stationary head disposed upstream in the film transport passage for cleaning the magnetic recording portion of the film.

Abstract: A deflection yoke 200 is comprised of a pair of separators 1, 1 formed in a funnel shape, having a large brim and a small brim. A first flange 1a is formed on the small brim, and a second flange 1b is formed on the large brim. A substrate 5 is held by at least one of the first flange and the second flange. A protective cover 26 is provided for protecting the substrate independently from the substrate by being held to the first flange and the second flange.

Abstract: A dust-removing apparatus for removing dust from a dusty surface of a material. The apparatus includes a dust-removing member for picking up dust from a dusty surface in association with continuous and alternate movement of various portions of a dust-removing face thereof to a removing position and also a take-off member for taking the dust off the dust-removing face of the dust-removing member through contact thereof with each of the various portions of the dust-removing face when the portion comes to a non-removing position.

Abstract: A lens supporting assembly for use in a photoprinting machine can position a varifocal lens with high accuracy over a long period time. A lens plate carrying a varifocal lens has bent portions along both side edges and is formed with a plurality of positioning holes. A lens support table has positioning pins adapted to be engaged in the positioning holes. It is further provided with first magnets for attracting the bottom of the lens plate and a second magnet for attracting one of the bent portions. By lowering the lens plate onto the lens support table, the positioning pins engage in the positioning holes, so that the varifocal lens can be set in position with high accuracy. In this state, the first magnets attract the bottom of the lens plate, while the second magnet attracts the bent portion, so that the varifocal lens can be stably held in position.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing jelly products having fibrous texture resembling fruit pulp, wherein at least a first liquid material adjusted to pH 4.0 or less and containing at least a kind of proteinous material selected from the group consisting of those originating from eggs, milk and soya beans, and a second liquid material containing at least a kind of gum selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, gum arabic and pullulane and at least a kind of gelling agent selected from the group consisting of agar, furcellaran, and carrageenan are separately prepared, then they are mixed at a temperature higher than the gelling temperature of the gelling agents used, and cooled for gelling.

Abstract: A pipe laying apparatus having an excavator for performing excavation in the earth to form a substantially horizontally extending hole, with the excavator having connected to its trailing end a leading end of at least one underground pipe at least partially located in the horizontally extending hole, an injector for injecting a viscosity imparting liquid into the earth in which excavation is being performed by the excavator to produce viscosity imparting liquid containing soil particles. A propelling device positioned against a trailing end of the pipe and is located in a starting pit. The viscosity imparting liquid containing soil particles produced by the excavator and injector are conveyed rearwardly of the excavator past an outer periphery thereof and filled in an annular gap defined between the horizontally extending hole and the pipe while the excavator and pipe are advanced by the propelling device.
