Abstract: In a shutter facing an aperture portion in a partition plate in a photosensitive material processing device, a blocking member, formed substantially in a semicircular cylindrical shape, is placed by the rotation of a shaft between blades thereby closing the aperture portion. The opening between the blades is opened by rotating the blocking member integrally with the shaft so that a photosensitive material can pass through. Multi-leveled surfaces are formed on the top surface of a guide plate. Aperture portions for mounting rollers with adaptors are formed in an alternating pattern on the surfaces. A plurality of protruding guide ribs are provided extending across the surfaces. A plurality of brush roller parameters are adjusted so that a winding mark index defined by the parameters falls within a predetermined range. Rollers are washed when a finisher control system is restarted after an unforeseen long stoppage.

Abstract: In an automatic developing device, a preheating chamber comprises a heater and a circulation fan for adjusting the heating temperature for a photo polymer plate. A method for washing a roller in a desensitizing processing section is disclosed with a water supply bucket above the roller. A developing section of a processing device comprises a circulation pump and a spray pipe for smoothly substituting the developing liquid in the vicinity of a PS plate. By repeating supplying and stopping of electric power per every half cycle of an alternating current voltage based on the set operation time, the effective voltage is supplied when washing the roller after starting driving of the processing device. A liquid replenishing pattern depends on the configuration of a conveying path in the developing vessel in the processing device and a type of plates.

Abstract: A brush roller is structured such that a web body having wire members is wound in a helical manner around a roller main body to which an axial end member is mounted. A fastening member is mounted to a rotary shaft of the axial end member, and one end of the web body is fixed to a holding member which is arranged between the fastening member and the axial end member so as to freely rotate relatively. The holding member relatively rotates in a winding direction due to an urging force of a torsional coil spring when elongation occurs in the web body, thereby preventing slack from occurring in the web body.

Abstract: In an automatic film developer, measurements are taken of internal temperature parameters during a warm up phase. Based on measured temperature values a time for completing the warm up phase is calculated. The calculated time for warm up is displayed so that it can be read by an operator. When the calculated time for warm up completion has elapsed, an indication is displayed that the film developer is operational. During the warm up phase, film is not allowed to advance through the automatic film developer. When the calculated time for warm up completion has elapsed, advance of film through the film developer is automatically started.

Abstract: A photographic processing apparatus includes a replenisher supplying mechanism for forcibly supplying a remaining portion of a replenisher if the replenisher remains in a replenisher container or pack when the processing of a predetermined quantity of photosensitive material has been finished and a controlling mechanism which displays an abnormality message on a display if the forcibly supplied quantity of replenisher has exceeded a predetermined quantity. If it is detected that the replenisher pack has become empty before the processing of the predetermined quantity of photosensitive material is finished, the abnormality message is displayed. If all the quantities of replenishers forcibly supplied from a plurality of replenisher packs are not more than predetermined quantities, only a message for replacing the replenisher packs is displayed.
