Photographic processing apparatus having improved light-lock feature

摘要

An apparatus for processing a photosensitive media. The apparatus having a processing path for passing of a photosensitive media through the apparatus, and a light-lock feed slot assembly for allowing the photosensitive media to be fed into the processing path. The light-lock feed slot assembly comprises of a conduit having an inlet port at one end and an outlet port at the other end. The conduit has a configuration which forms a substantially serpentine passageway between the inlet port and the outlet port such that stray light which may be adjacent the entrance port is prevented from reaching the outlet port.
