Abstract (en)

[origin: JPS647981A] PURPOSE: To make work more efficient and lower in cost by processing photographic films from accepting in a laboratory to shipping therefrom with a series of apparatus of such a cascade system which forms continuous chains from an upstream side to a downstream side. CONSTITUTION: An automatic processing machine of envelopes satisfying from the accepting in the laboratory for executing photographic processing to the shipping therefrom adopts the form of the continuous chains 9 including the plural devices 1 to 7 of the cascade type connected to a central computer 8 by a circuit 10. An automatic supplying device 1 of the envelopes first supplies the envelopes by one piece each in a horizontal direction and a longitudinal direction by a traveling conveyor 11 of the chains 9. The device 2 executes reading and expelling of bar codes. The device 3 automatically inspects the envelope thicknesses and expels the excessively thick envelopes. The shape checking and expelling of the contents in the envelopes are executed by a shadowgraph with the device 4. Further, the envelopes expelled in the previous stage are processed in the device 5. The envelopes are subjected to marking of the date of acceptance or the like. The envelopes are led to a sorting machine 22 by the device 7.
