Patent number: 7534989Abstract: A laser beam emitted from a laser diode of each of detectors is applied to a partly cut region of a photosensitive sheet film which is spread toward the detectors by a film bending roller. Part of the laser beam which is reflected from the partly cut region is detected by an amount-of-light sensor. The laser beam that is applied to a surface of the photosensitive sheet film other than the partly cut region is reflected outside of a light-detecting area of the amount-of light sensor, and is not detected by the amount-of-light sensor.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2005Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Kazuyoshi Suehara, Ryo Mori, Nobuyasu Akiyoshi

Patent number: 7213628Abstract: Photosensitive material includes a support, and a photosensitive layer overlaid thereon and containing resin. A photosensitive layer laminator transfers the photosensitive layer from the photosensitive material to a glass substrate. In the photosensitive layer laminator, heat/pressure rollers apply the photosensitive layer to a transfer region on the substrate with heat and pressure. A photosensitive material feeder transports first and second photosensitive materials to the substrate set at the heat/pressure rollers. The first and second photosensitive materials have a width smaller than a width of the transfer region, and are disposed to extend along one another. Furthermore, a tension adjuster adjusts tension applied to the first and second photosensitive materials in an upstream direction from the heat/pressure rollers.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Nagate, Kazuyoshi Suehara

Publication number: 20030047506Abstract: An injection molding machine includes a nozzle for supplying a melted resin into a mold. In the nozzle, there is a filter for removing foreign materials mixed in the melted resin. The filter has a cylindrically-shaped filter body. In the filter body, many small holes are formed. By supplying the melted resin into the mold, the melted resin passes through the small holes into outside of the filter body. In cleaning the filter, the melted resin flows from the outside into the inside. The small holes each are smaller on the inside than the outside.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2002Publication date: March 13, 2003Applicant: FUJI PHOTO FILM CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuyoshi Suehara, Yoshihiro Tominaga, Nobuyuki Iwazaki

Patent number: 5427224Abstract: An apparatus for conveying and aligning various types of film packages recovered for recycling. A conveyer of the apparatus is constructed by a pair of parallel belts combined to form a V-shaped bearing gutter and driven in the same conveying direction. The film packages are conveyed on the conveyer and are slid downward through an inclined cylindrical tube which rotates about the longitudinal axis and has spiral ridges on the inner periphery. Thereby, the longitudinal direction of the film packages are aligned with the conveying direction. Then a posture discriminator discriminates between the upright posture and the upside-down posture of the film packages on a first conveying path, based on the position of the viewfinder. The film packages having the upright posture are caused to fall headlong from the first conveying path onto a second conveying path, so as to have the upside-down posture on the second conveying path.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1993Date of Patent: June 27, 1995Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyoshi Suehara, Toshihiro Matsushita, Masahi Saitoh, Toshiyuki Ogura
