Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0309617A2] A dental X-ray film developing machine is described. The machine has plural compartments (24a,24b,24c,24d;50,51,52,53) arranged along a predetermined travelling path of a dental X-ray film (F) to be developed. A film-mounting member (30;57) is provided to mount the film detachably thereon. The film-mounting member is supported pivotally and releasably by a support (27;48). The plural compartments and support are displaceable relative to each other so as to allow the film to travel successively through the compartments.
