[Industrial applications]

 This invention is a processing solution container for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and a processing solution container for the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, which prevents leakage and odor leakage of the processing solution for the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and is easy to replace and discard. The present invention relates to a photosensitive material processing apparatus including a container.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 An example of a light-sensitive material processing apparatus for processing the exposed silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is one in which the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is continuously conveyed to each processing layer for color development, bleaching, fixing, stabilization and the like for processing. In the processing layer in which these processing solutions for silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials (hereinafter referred to as processing solutions) are stored, the processing solutions are deteriorated or the processing agent components are consumed by the processing of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials. In order to prevent deterioration of the finished quality of the light-sensitive material, for example, a processing solution container storing a new processing solution is connected, and a pump drives the processing solution container to supply the processing solution to the processing tank. This processing liquid is supplied by adding water to several types of liquid (powder) called a kit consisting of a concentrated liquid or powder to dissolve it into a working liquid state, or the processing liquid container is used as a processing liquid container. I am doing it. Further, recently, a method has been devised in which a liquid in a used liquid state is supplied in a processing liquid container and the entire processing liquid container is replaced.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the container used in the kit and the like is made of a resin bottle such as polyethylene, which causes problems such as being bulky at the time of disposal and increasing the cost for disposal.

Further, when the processing solution is transferred or the processing solution container is exchanged, the processing solution leaks or spills, or an odor leaks, which may cause a worker to come into contact with his / her hand or the like, or the corrosion of the automatic processor. However, there is a problem that the environment is damaged due to the formation of crystals and the addition of crystals.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and is not bulky at the time of disposal, and can be incinerated or separated and discarded to meet the requirements for pollution control. It is an object of the present invention to provide a processing solution container for a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and a processing device for a photosensitive material provided with the processing solution container for a silver-halide photographic light-sensitive material.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the processing solution container for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material of the invention according to claim 1 is a flexible member for storing a processing solution for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material in an outer box made of paper material. It is characterized in that it is provided with an on-off valve for accommodating the inner bag formed in (1), and connecting the container connecting portion provided in the inner bag and connected to the processing tank side with the processing tank side for communication.

A photographic paper supply magazine 21 which is a photographic material P is set on one side of the photographic material processing device 20, and the photographic material P is pulled out from the supply magazine 21 via a roller 22. The image of the negative film F is printed in the printing unit 23. The photosensitive material P on which the image has been baked is successively conveyed to the processing tanks such as the developing tank 24, the bleaching tank 25, the fixing tank 26 and the stabilizing tank 27 for development processing, and further conveyed to the drying section 28. Be dried.

A processing liquid container 1 for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is set below the bleaching tank 25, fixing tank 26, stabilizing tank 27, and drying section 28, respectively. Each of the processing liquid containers 1 for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is connected to a developing tank 24, a bleaching tank 25, a fixing tank 26 and a stabilizing tank 27 via a hose 29, and a pump arranged in each hose 29. By driving 30, the processing liquid in the processing liquid container 1 for silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is sucked and supplied to the processing tank.
