Abstract: A method or transferring a strip-form photosensitive material comprising mounting a feed roller on an upstream side and a transferring roller on the downstream side with an exposure table located therebetween and intermittently transferring the photosensitive material onto the exposure table only in the predetermined feed size, characterized by measuring in advance a feed size of the paper based on number of revolution of the feed roller and a feed size of the paper based on number of revolution of the transferring roller and compensating for the number of revolution given to both rollers in order to prevent an error generated between both paper feed sizes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring a strip-form photosensitive paper material comprising mounting a feed roller on an upstream side of an exposure table and a transferring roller on a downstream side of the exposure table and intermittently transferring photosensitive paper material onto the exposure table only in predetermined feed size, characterized by measuring, in advance, a feed size of the photosensitive paper material based on a number of revolutions of the feed roller and a feed size of the photosensitive paper, based on number of revolutions of the transferring roller, and compensating for the number of revolutions given to both rollers in order to prevent an error generated between the photosensitive paper feed sizes and an exposure table having upstream feed rollers and downstream transfer rollers and control means for measuring and feed the photosensitive paper material.

Abstract: A cleaning tape for use in cleaning transporting surfaces of transporting rollers arranged along a photographic material transporting passageway includes a tape body provided on at least one side thereof with an adhesive layer spaced a distance away from one lengthwise end therteof. A porous screen is laid on the adhesive layer.

Abstract: A photo-processing apparatus equipped with a stock tank section which contains and stores a strip-shaped photo-sensitive material between a pair of guide plates provided so as to sandwich the transversal direction of the photo-sensitive material; wherein the apparatus includes a tank width changing mechanism which changes a distance between the pair of guide plates depending on the width of the photo-sensitive material to be passed through the stock tank section. The paper to be contained and stored in the stock tank section does not twist and is smoothly pulled out from the exit section by a method wherein the distance between one pair of guide plates restricting the movement of the paper in the transversal direction is adjusted depending on the width of the paper to be passed through the stock tank section.

Abstract: A method and a mechanism for setting a proper guide width corresponding to an actually used photosensitive material is disclosed. In adjusting a guide width L of a width guide installed in the conveyance course of photographic processing apparatus in order to guide the photosensitive material with respect to width direction, the width guide is initially adjusted so that the width L has an initial set point. This initial set point is wider than the width of the photosensitive material and, then, the width L of the width guide is narrowed until the width guide contacts the edges of the photosensitive material. Finally, the width L of the width guide is widened until a desired width is obtained.

Abstract: A method for moving a photosensitive strip material for treatment either forwardly or reversely in a photoprocessing apparatus in which the photosensitive material is moved either from or to a magazine for storing the photosensitive material wound in a form of a roll which includes driving the strip moving mechanism at a plurality of strip-moving speeds. The strip, prior to stopping, is moved at a low speed and is stopped by braking from the low-speed state so that slack inside the magazine can be absorbed and, at the same time, slack is not generated inside the magazine. Consequently, abnormal noise or damage to the strip generated from inside the magazine is eliminated.

Abstract: A mechanism for changing a guide width is provided to automatically change a width of a width guide depending upon papers differ from each other in true width in spite of the same nominal size. The mechanism comprises a width guide, a pulse motor for moving the width guide in a width direction of the paper, a detecting board with detecting holes attached to a guide member of the width guide and a position sensor detecting a standard position of the detecting holes, and is provided to move the guide member only a distance of indicated pulses from the standard position.
