Definitions

  • the invention relates to a treatment device for flexible photographic material, in particular in sheet form, of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • photographic material is directed by the device onto a drum rotating in contact with the treatment liquid, the material adhering to the surface of the drum during a certain fraction of a single revolution of the drum that is briefly immersed in the treatment bath.
  • processing devices are such. B. described in DE-A1-1 497 496 and DE-A1-2 615 932.
  • the material in these devices does not remain in contact with the bath liquid long enough to be able to complete a processing step in one cycle, unless the drum rotation is very slow.
  • DE-A1-2414824 describes a device in which photographic films which adhere to the surface of a drum are repeated as they rotate and are passed through a bath until the treatment has ended completely. It was found that inclined lifting knives did not work properly when detaching the finished film from the drum surface, which is why DE-OS 2 414 824 proposes to use a liquid jet to detach the film, which along a blade-like device against the the drum lifting film is directed.
  • the device which generates the liquid jet is complicated and expensive and can therefore only be used in larger systems, but not in small devices such as are suitable for amateur photographers.
  • the object of the invention is therefore above all to implement a treatment device of the type described above, which has simple technical means for removing finished photographic material from the device, the device being set up for repeated circulation of the material through the liquid bath in the container of the device.
  • Preferred embodiments of the treatment device according to the invention are characterized by one or more of the features described in subclaims 2 to 11.
  • the exit opening in the side wall of the container is also closed in a light-tight manner.
  • the exit opening is preferably also covered in a light-tight manner when the movable side wall part is open, as long as the sheet of photographic material emerging from the container can still be adversely affected by light from the outside.
  • the axially extending free edge of the movable side wall part should overlap the inner end of the deflection wall, where it abuts or merges with the container side wall.
  • the rotatable drum is covered with a PVC layer, while the freely rotatable guide or pressure rollers are preferably made of rubber or a suitable plastic material such as. B. consist of polyvinyl chloride.
  • a sheet of photographic material can be subjected to various treatments. B. be developed or fixed, the device is loaded with the appropriate photographic processing liquid, or the sheet can be washed, in which case it is then treated with water instead of said liquid.
  • the sheet is first inserted downwards with its front, which carries a light-sensitive layer, into the container charged with the desired liquid, so that the back of the sheet adheres to the drum surface.
  • the drum is then rotated for a sufficiently long time so that the intended treatment or washing of the sheet is completed.
  • the number of revolutions of the drum required for this can be entered beforehand into an electronic revolution counter, so that it can make the predetermined number of revolutions of the drum with the sheet on it.
  • the sheet on the drum takes a new quantity of unused solution with each revolution, while the used solution is washed away by the photosensitive layer when it is immersed again in the bath liquid at the next revolution.
  • the treatment liquid is water for washing the sheet, fresh water from the bath is carried along by the sheet on the drum with each revolution and, preferably, the sheet is additionally sprayed with fresh water from above as it passes through the highest point of each drum revolution.
  • the revolution counter causes, e.g. B. by energizing a solenoid which is part of a mechanism for moving the movable side wall part of the container, opening said part and the sheet can come off the drum surface and be discharged from the container.
  • a handle can be provided outside the housing, with which the movable side wall part (the exit flap) can be opened after a certain treatment time and the treated sheet can thereby be discharged from the treatment device.
  • a photographic processing system can, as described in subclaim 12, comprise several treatment devices according to the invention, which are coupled to one another in series, z. B.
  • the first device can be loaded with photographic developer with which the photographic material must be treated for about 5 seconds; the next device in the series can be loaded with an acid stop bath in which the treatment takes 2 minutes, a third treatment device can contain a fixing solution and the material can be treated with it for about 8 minutes, and a fourth device can be designed as a washing step and through which tap water flows.
  • the interrupter bath can be unnecessary when using an appropriate photographic material and the device for this purpose can therefore be omitted.
  • the sheet adheres to the surface of the drum partly due to adhesion due to surface tension between the moistened sheet and the drum surface, but mainly also thanks to the guidance of the sheet by means of the roller arrangement around the drum circumference, and thus also thanks to the design of the intermediate sections of the side wall of the container between successive rollers in the direction of rotation of the drum, as is particularly described in subclaims 6, 7 and 8.
  • the movable, as an exit flap, part of the side wall is arranged between two guide rollers and its inner surface facing the drum is shaped in such a way that it forces the sheet in the closed position to remain in contact with the drum surface, while in the open position it allows the sheet with its bend the leading sheet edge curving away from the drum surface into the output channel after the sheet advances the last guide roll, i. H. happened below the exit flap.
  • the exit flap can have a convex or concave curved inner surface facing the drum.
  • the baffle preferably serves as a roof wall for the discharge channel from the container, which is accessible through the outlet opening of the container when the outlet flap is open.
  • the deflecting wall is therefore preferably of a cross section which is curved radially to the drum axis, the concave inside of the wall facing the outlet opening or the dispensing channel.
  • the baffle is preferably made in one piece with the upper part of the container, and the upper part of the container can also be made in one piece with the upper part of the outer housing of the device.
  • the height of the outlet opening between the upper and lower edge portions of the container side wall must be sufficiently large and the last roller to be passed through the treated sheet before the discharge opening must be sufficiently below the lower edge edge portion to allow this to be different from the Finished sheet that peels off the drum can bend far enough away from the drum surface to actually get into the output channel.
  • a preferred embodiment of the treatment device which comprises a light-tight outer housing 1, which consists of a Upper part 2 and a lower part 3 exists.
  • a container 40 consisting of the upper part 20 and the lower part 30, preferably the upper container part 20 with the upper housing part 2 and the lower container part 30 with the lower housing part 3 being produced in one piece.
  • Fastening means which are required to hold the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 of the housing 1 and in the interior 1a of the upper part 20 and the lower part 30 of the container 40 exactly matched light-tight and above all liquid-tight, are well known and for the sake of clarity omitted the drawing.
  • a cylindrical drum 4 with a PVC-coated drum surface 4a is accommodated in the hollow interior 9 of the elongated container 40 formed here with the longitudinal axis A, which drum 4a is supported by a shaft or hubs 13 (only one end of which is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1). in the front and rear end wall (not shown) of the lower housing half is rotatably supported about the longitudinal axis A.
  • the usual drive means which engage the drum shaft or hub 13 are omitted in the drawing.
  • the area above the bottom of the lower half of the container 30 is loaded with a processing solution forming a liquid bath L, the level of the bath being sufficiently high that the lowermost area of the drum 4 is immersed in it and a sheet material adhering to the drum 4 is at the bath Turn the drum must go through.
  • the drum is rotated in the direction of the arrow denoted by R.
  • rollers 10 and 11 are distributed around the circumference of the drum 4 and are mounted in conventional bearings (not shown) in the front and rear end walls of the upper and lower housing halves 2 and 3. Gaps (not shown) between the rollers and the drum surface 4a allow the passage of a sheet S, wherein the rollers 10 and 11 can also be provided with conventional pressure spring means (not shown) mounted in the housing end walls, which presses the rollers onto the roller Press the drum surface 4a, which is small enough to allow the rollers to give in as it passes through a sheet S without damaging its photosensitive layer SE between the rollers and the drum 4.
  • the distance of the intermediate section 21 or 31 from the drum surface 4a on the “trailing” roller 10, 11 first affected by the sheet S when the drum rotates can be approximately 15 to 20 mm, while at which the next leading bulge 27, 37, which surrounds the "leading" roller 10, 11 that is subsequently tangent when the same sheet rotates, the distance of this intermediate section is only 3 to 6 mm.
  • FIG. 1 On the left side of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 there is an entrance gate 5 in the side wall of the outer housing 1, preferably above the liquid level in the container 40, to which one of the walls 22 in the upper and 32 in the lower housing part 2 or 32 3 surrounded sheet inlet 17 connects, which is too open in the side wall of the lower container half 30 after the container interior 9.
  • an inwardly and downwardly inclined sliding surface 12 At the inner end of the sheet inlet 17 there is an inwardly and downwardly inclined sliding surface 12 as an extension of the lower inlet wall 32.
  • An end flap 7 rotatably suspended in a swivel joint 18 on the upper inlet wall 22 can either be slightly loaded by a spring element (not shown) into the light-tight end position of the inlet 17 shown in FIG their own weight can be achieved.
  • a discharge gate 6 is provided above the liquid level of the bath L in the lower container half 30, through which a sheet discharge channel 19 opens out of the housing 1, while at its inner end through an outlet opening 23 in the Side wall of the container 40, in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 in the lower container half 30, is connected to the container interior 9.
  • This outlet opening 23 is located between the last bulge 37 in the drum rotation direction in the lower container half 30 and the upper edge 30a of the latter, at which the upper container half 20 is placed on the lower one.
  • the sheet discharge channel 19 is delimited at the top by a sheet deflecting wall 14, which is preferably integral with the side wall region of the upper container half 20 adjoining the upper end of the outlet opening 23.

  • the baffle 14 is of curved cross-section, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and its concave underside 14a faces the discharge channel 19.
  • the discharge channel 19 is closed in the lower container half 30 by a channel bottom wall 24, which is preferably formed in one piece with the lower container half 30 and also with the side wall of the lower housing part 3.
  • An exit flap or door 8 which is pivoted by means of a pivot connection 33 in the side wall of the lower container half 30 at the lower end of the outlet opening 23, where the channel bottom wall 24 abuts against the said side wall, serves in the closed position for the light-tight closure of the outlet opening 23 and loaded into its closed position by means of a conventional spring element (not shown).
  • the arrow 0 indicates in which direction the end flap 8 is opened.
  • the sheet S now remains in contact with the drum surface 4a, partly due to its adhesion to the drum surface 4a due to its moistening, partly thanks to the pressing by the rollers 11 and finally due to the converging shape of the intermediate sections 31 of the side wall of the lower container half 30.
  • the sheet S of photographic material then runs on the cylindrical surface 4a of the drum 4 through the treatment bath L for a sufficient number of revolutions to complete the bath treatment.
  • the exit flap 8 is opened (FIG. 2) and due to the inherent tendency of the sheet material to detach from the drum surface 4a, and in the moistened state after to curve light-sensitive coated sheet front side SE, the leading edge SL of the sheet S is bent away from the drum surface 4a and enters the output channel 19.
  • edge or edge zone 29, at which the deflecting wall 14 and its adjacent section 21a of the container side wall adjoining the upper end of the outlet opening 23 should abut or merge, should come close enough to the drum surface 4a to prevent a relatively slight bent, finished sheet S runs against the side wall section 21a instead of against the deflection wall 14 despite the opened exit flap 8 and is thereby returned to the drum circulation.
  • the leading sheet edge SL of the sheet S should either run against the deflecting wall 14 and slide outwards along the same; or there can be a greater curvature of the sheet in the case of a sheet S of lower rigidity, so that the sheet exits the treatment device directly through the output channel 19 without touching the deflection wall 14.
  • the photographic sheet material can be fed to a similar device, which is charged with a different treatment liquid L, or to a washing stage through which washing water flows, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the processing liquid L can be introduced into or removed from the lower container part 30 by removing the upper housing and container part 2.20 from the lower part 3.30, whereby the container interior 9 is accessible.
