Abstract: A method of treating photographic effluent containing one or more metal ions with an oxidation number greater than one, comprising the addition of a water-soluble silicate to the effluent in an amount to render it glass-like and less permeable to water. Conveniently the effluent has been treated by the addition of calcium hydroxide and the silicate, preferably 'water-glass' may then be added either to the treated effluent suspension and the mixture separated or to the pre-separated solid.

Abstract: Dispensing apparatus are well known for dispensing material from a package. Described herein is apparatus for dispensing predetermined amounts of material (10, 10') stored in vessels (12) carried by a continuous web (14). Each vessel (12) comprises a body portion (15) and a cap portion (16) with one end (22) of a pressure sensitive strip (24) positioned therebetween, the other end (26) of strip (24) being attached to the continuous web (14). The apparatus comprises a roller (28) over which the web (14) moves. Tightening of the strip (24) as the web (14) passes over the roller (28) causes the body portion (15) of the vessel (12) to become detached from the cap portion (16) and the material (10') is released.

Abstract: When using unstable processing solutions, high recirculation and/or replenishment rates may be required. However, this may result in non-uniform processing of photographic material in processing apparatus using such solutions. Described herein is apparatus in which agitation members (17) are provided in the processing tank. The members (17) are fixed to a wall (11) of the tank at a location (18). The member (17) has a free end (25) which is positioned to lie against emulsion surface (26) of material (20) being processed (or against inner wall surface (19) if no material (20) is present). As material (20) is moved along path (13), agitation of the processing solution is achieved as some of the solution is carried along under the member (17) and the remainder passes through the member (17) itself.

Abstract translation: 当使用不稳定的处理溶液时，可能需要高的再循环和/或补充速率。 然而，这可能导致使用这种解决方案的处理设备中的照相材料的不均匀处理。 这里描述的是在处理槽中设置搅拌构件（17）的装置。 构件（17）在位置（18）处固定到水箱的壁（11）。 所述构件（17）具有自由端（25），所述自由端定位成位于正在被处理的材料（20）的乳剂表面（26）上（或者如果不存在材料（20）则位于内壁表面（19））。 随着材料（20）沿着路径（13）移动，由于一些溶液被沿着构件（17）的下方运送并且其余部分通过构件（17）本身，所以实现了处理溶液的搅拌。

Abstract: A low volume thin tank photographic development apparatus has a narrow passage (2) which has a width which is adjustable by placing strips (11, 12), of chemically inert material at the edges of the passage. The strips (11, 12), may be wound on rollers (9, 10), and the strips may be stepped so that they are of different dimensions (13, 14), to accomodate different webs of photographic material being processed. The use of the strips ensures that the minimum quantity of photographic processing solution is used.

Abstract: The critical time in photographic processing apparatus is the time from when the first part of photographic material enters the apparatus to when the last part leaves the apparatus. During this time there are periods of time in which no processing takes place, for example, as the material is passed from one stage to the next. Described herein is a processing unit which minimises the periods of time during which no processing is taking place. The unit comprises a processing tank (6) having processing solution (4) retained therein. Material (S) is fed into the tank (6) along a path (2), and around a looped path (8) until reaches a point (10) at which the material (S) can be deflected out of the tank (6), along path (14) and into a further processing tank (16), or can be deflected along path (12) so that further processing can take place in tank (6) prior to being passed on to the next stage.

Abstract: It is known to use rotating drums in photographic processing apparatus. However, in many embodiments, relatively large volumes of processing solution are required for effective operation of the apparatus. This makes most drum arrangements unsuitable for use with unstable chemistry and single use chemistry as the processing solutions need to be replaced frequently. Described herein is photographic processing apparatus which incorporates a drum arrangement to form a low volume processing tank. The arrangement comprises a processing tank (10) in which a central rotatable drum (20) is mounted. A clearance of less than 5 mm is provided between the tank (10) and the drum (20) which defines a low volume for the processing solution (30).

However, in many embodiments, relatively large volumes of processing solution are required for effective operation of the apparatus. This makes most drum arrangements unsuitable for use with unstable chemistry and single use chemistry as the processing solutions need to be replaced frequently. Described herein is an improvement to the surface (24) of a drum (20) in photographic processing apparatus incorporating a drum arrangement to form a low volume processing tank. The improvement comprises forming a spiral (22) either on or in the surface (24) of the drum (20). This has the advantage of improving the process activity of the apparatus and prevents the material being processed from adhering to the drum surface.

Abstract: In small processing machines, the rate at which material passes through the machine tends to be low due to its size. This results in the access time being long as it is the sum of the actual processing time at each stage, plus the crossover times between each stage, and finally the time it takes for the whole sheet of material being processed to emerge from the machine. Described herein is apparatus which allows the transport rate between each stage and the exiting speed of the material from the apparatus to be increased. The apparatus comprises a rotating drum (10) around which a guide (12) is arranged to define a processing tank (14). Material to be processed is transported around the surface of the drum (10) in the processing tank (14) by transport roller set (26). The roller set (26) comprises a fixed roller (28) to which rollers (30, 32) are pivotally connected. Roller (32) is lifted from against the surface of the drum (10) to allow the material to be switched out of the tank (14). Similarly, roller (30) may be lifted to allow the material to enter the tank (14) and lie against the surface of the drum (10).

Abstract translation: 在小型加工机器中，材料通过机器的速度由于其尺寸而趋向于较低。 这导致访问时间长，因为它是每个阶段的实际处理时间的总和加上每个阶段之间的交叉时间，最后是整个处理的材料片材从机器出现所花费的时间。 这里描述了允许来自装置的材料的每个阶段和出口速度之间的传送速率增加的装置。 该设备包括旋转滚筒（10），引导件（12）围绕其旋转以限定处理罐（14）。 要处理的材料通过传送辊组（26）在处理槽（14）内的滚筒（10）的表面上运送。 辊组件26包括一个固定辊28，辊子30,32枢转地连接在该辊子28上。 滚筒（32）从滚筒（10）的表面提升，以允许材料从罐（14）中转出。 类似地，辊（30）可以被提升以允许材料进入罐（14）并且靠在滚筒（10）的表面上。
