Patent number: 6715941Abstract: A processor for photographic material includes a multitude of treatment tanks through which the photographic material to be treated is sequentially moved and in which photographic treatment solutions are found during operation, especially developing, bleaching, fixing and stabilizing solutions. The processor includes a refill pump and conduit system for pumping the treatment solutions and the water used from storage containers for treatment solutions and a water tank into the treatment tanks. A refill pump and a corresponding refill conduit is provided for each storage container and the water tank. A control for the refill pumps cooperates with level sensors associated with the storage containers in such a way that the refill process is stopped when one of the storage containers is empty.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Gretag Imaging Trading AGInventors: Eni Scodellaro, Franco Fracas

Patent number: 5875371Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include two half shells that can be operably joined together, in whose walls pouches are provided. Two elements, approximately formed as ladders, each include first transport rollers, the two ladderlike elements being configured for insertion in the joined together half-shells. The first transport rollers are disposed on the respective ladderlike elements in such a way that upon insertion of the ladderlike elements into the joined together half-shells, the transport rollers fit into the pouches of the walls of the respective half shells. Exemplary embodiments also include a central element which, after the insertion of the two ladderlike elements, can be placed between the two ladderlike elements to maintain the two ladderlike elements in position and which, together with the respective ladderlike elements and the respective walls of the half-shells, defines a conduit for photographic material to be developed.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1997Date of Patent: February 23, 1999Inventors: Hugo Knecht, Rudolf Wacker, Rudolf Dech, Gabriele Poli, Eni Scodellaro, Anthony Earle

Patent number: 5422741Abstract: A machine produces photographic color prints both from images captured on film and from digitally encoded images. A conventional machine used to make color prints from images on film is provided with a one-line cathode ray tube (7 or 7a or 7b) positioned along the path followed by a strip of light-sensitive paper (31) from a supply roll (3) to a set of chemical treatment baths (60), preceding or following a printing surface (29). A projecting head (71) of the one-line cathode ray tube generates a pencil-thin line comprising a high number of pixels in a notably broad range of colors. The single lines are emitted gradually and in ordered succession by the projecting head (71), impacting on a corresponding length of the light-sensitive paper (31) as it advances across the head, thus generating an image of high definition and chromatic fidelity directly on the light-sensitive surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1994Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Assignee: San Marco Imaging S.r.l.Inventors: Franco Fracas, Eni Scodellaro
