    摘要: A processing solution container package system includes a frame that supports the containers of the package system and allows each of the containers to collapse while avoiding a trapping of solution within the containers. The frame comprises first and second members that include interlocking sections to permit each of the members to be accommodated on the surface of the containers and interlocked to each other. The frame includes curved sections to support a valve neck of each of the containers in an extended non-collapsed position. This helps in the assembly of the containers, and further prevents the valve necks of the containers from collapsing back towards the top surface of the containers while the containers are being filled with solution. Also, the frame that supports the containers prevents damage to the containers if the containers are accidentally dropped. In a further feature of the invention, the containers have a crown shaped surface which corresponds to a curved surface of the frame. The crown shaped surface of the containers maintain their shape during drainage to avoid the trapping of solution within the container and promote a drainage of essentially all the solution in the container.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for applying at least one solution of a predetermined viscosity to photosensitive material. The apparatus includes at least an application roller that applies the coating solution onto the photosensitive material. The application roller partially extends into a solution tray of the coating apparatus and is partially submerged in solution in the solution tray. In an arrangement of the present invention, a cascade wall and metering blade are positioned within the solution tray so as to define a first section at which solution enters the tray, and a second section which receives solution that spills over from the first section and includes a port which leads coating solution back to a coating solution tank for recycling or leads cleaning solution to drain. The apparatus further includes a washing arrangement that washes the coating apparatus in an efficient manner. The washing arrangement includes a retractable scrubber bar arrangement that moves away from the application roller when the coating apparatus is in a coating mode of operation and is movable toward the application roller by way of brushes in a cleaning mode of operation. The apparatus and method further includes a recirculation system that alternatively supplies coating solution to the coating solution tray and cleaning solution to both the solution tray and washing arrangement.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for applying a solution having a predetermined viscosity to a photosensitive material, such as a photographic print, involves the conveyance of the photosensitive material through a tank. A guide member mounted in the tank is effective to guide viscous solution to an area in the vicinity of a nip portion between first and second rollers. This arrangement creates at least one bead in a vicinity of the nip portion between the rollers so as to promote an even and consistent application of solution to the photosensitive material, and at the same time, permits an upper roller of the drive rollers to stay evenly wet.

    摘要: A system for supplying a processing solution to a printing device, such as a photographic processor or a printer, which includes a supply tank with processing solution or ink and a delivery system between the supply tank and a printing device. The delivery system has a retaining vessel with retained fluid, in the vessel, and a reference probe to signal a level probe when fluid reaches a predetermined level on receipt of a replenish signal from the controller for the printing device. The power supply actuates a three-way valve in order to flow a volume of the processing solution from the supply tank to the retaining vessel. A power supply receives the adjustable liquid level probe signal from the adjustable liquid level probe. Then switches the three-way valve to flow the retained fluid from the retaining vessel to the printer.
