Abstract: A photographic processing apparatus includes a developing tank, a fixing tank, a moving plate structure in the form of an open framework guided between the developing tank and the fixing tank, for carrying thereon a sheet of printing paper from the former to the latter. These tanks and the moving plate structure are enclosed in a box-type casing provided at top with a light-filtering cover. Thus, the developing and fixing operations can be carried out in a brightly lighted room.

Abstract: A developing device for developing a film in a film magazine wound on a film spool by rotating the spool is constituted of a developing tank body to receive the film and a developer liquid therein and a handle to rotate the spool. The tank body is provided on the inner surface thereof with a plurality of protrusions or a recess to be engaged with the film outlet of the film magazine to prevent the film magazine from being rotated therein. The handle has a forked portion to be engaged with the engaging portion of the film spool and a radially extending arm portion having a grip at the outer end thereof to be rotated by hand. The handle is rotatably or fixedly mounted to a cover member mounted on the top of the tank body. The cover member on which the handle is rotatably mounted is fixed to the upper end of the tank body. The cover member to which the handle is fixedly mounted is loosely mounted on the upper end of the tank body.
