Torques can be transferred from the foot rest surface to the ground contact surface via the foot device.

Abstract: A copying machine for photographic reproduction, comprising a central unit including devices for unrolling, cutting and transporting photographic paper, a photosensitive paper exposing chamber, and a print development unit. The copying machine includes a removable module for forming a light image of an original document to be copied. A plurality of modules each adapted to form a light image of original documents of different types can be removably mounted on the central unit, whereby different types of original documents can be copied. The copying machine also comprises a removable cassette which stocks photographic paper and which is manufactured with plastic material through a thermal forming process. The cassette has two lateral walls between which a mandrel, supporting a photographic paper roll, is pressure mounted.

Abstract: An automatic developer/printer apparatus for obtaining photographic prints from a negative. The apparatus includes a projection assembly having therein: a light source, a projection chamber, a negative carrier, and an optical assembly. The apparatus also includes an exposure darkroom having therein at least one magazine of photosensitive material, a projection plane, a cutting element, and an advancement element. The apparatus further includes a developer having a plurality of treatment tanks and paper feed mechanisms, and a housing containing a drying chamber and a treatment product reservoir. The projection assembly is positioned parallel to the exposure darkroom which is itself positioned above the developer. The housing containing the drying chamber and the treatment product reservoir is positioned under the projection apparatus and adjacent to the developer.
