  • Patent number: 4695146
    Abstract: A fume and heat exhaust system to be used in conjunction with a high-speed photo print processor which requires for its operation that the user be positioned in close proximity to the processor front panel. The processor front panel includes an opening for finished photo discharge into a tray therebelow. The invention, connectable to the front panel, includes a blower having an inlet matably aligned with one end of a rigid contoured hood, the upper margin of which is mounted against the front panel above the opening. The rigid hood is contoured outwardly and downwardly to its lower, outer margin to cover the opening and tray such that the heated fumes which discharge and rise from the opening are collected within the chamber formed by the inner surface of the hood and front panel for removal by the blower.
