Abstract: A recording drum has a clamp groove extending in its circumferential direction formed on its outer peripheral surface. A plurality of front end clamps are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the recording drum. Rear end clamps are attached so as to be movable and so as to be fixable along the clamp groove on the outer peripheral surface of the recording drum. A recording head is disposed ahead of the recording drum, and a clamp driving device is disposed behind the recording drum. The clamp driving device comprises a first driving device for fixing the front end clamps and fixing and releasing the rear end clamps and a second driving device for releasing the front end clamps. The front end clamps and the rear end clamps reliably fix a front end and a rear end of a plate to the outer peripheral surface of the recording drum by a reaction force produced by a spring and a centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the recording drum.

Abstract: A conveying unit is disposed so as to be swingable above a recording drum. The conveying unit has a first plate carry-in conveying path and a second plate carry-out conveying path. A punching device is disposed in the plate on the side of a front end of the conveying unit. The plate is conveyed to the punching device through the first conveying path in the conveying unit before being conveyed onto the recording drum. Recording drum positioning holes and printing machine positioning holes are formed at a front end of the plate. The recording drum positioning holes of the plate are respectively fitted on positioning pins provided on an outer peripheral surface of the recording drum.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus comprises a temporary storing magazine for temporarily retaining a recorded photosensitive material sheet. The temporary storing magazine stocks the recorded photosensitive sheet received therein from an image recording section while discharging the recorded photosensitive material sheet into an automatic developing machine. Hence, image recording is executed without interruption and parallel to discharge of the recorded photosensitive material sheet into the developing machine, enhancing the capability of the image recording apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for composing original films, having register marks on desired positions of a base sheet, by positioning and adhering the original films on the base sheet, the apparatus includes a main frame, a positioning and composing table for supporting the base sheets, film cassettes, a position detecting stage on which one of the original films is placed, an original film carrier for transporting the original film from the film cassette to the stage, a working head which transports the original film from the positioning and composing table to a position where an adhesive is applied so that the original film can be adhered to the base sheet, photoelectrical sensors for detecting the register marks of the original film and measuring the position of the film, a sliding frame movable on the main frame in one direction, and a saddle slidable in a cross direction with the sliding frame to support the original film carrier and the working head.
