ABSTRACT:
A photographic apparatus for transporting and processing in consecutive fashion a stacked array of self-processable film units. The apparatus includes an integrally molded plastic housing section having mounted thereon a pair of juxtaposed rotatable pressure applying rollers for receiving a film unit between them to distribute a processing fluid lengthwise of the film unit while they simultaneously advance it to the exterior of the apparatus, an elongated exit slot offset with respect to a gap formed between the rollers, a deflecting surface for bending the film unit toward the exit slot, a coiled light shade mounted adjacent the exit slot and extensible by an advancing film unit, a film retention arrangement, and a pair of spaced apart ramps protruding from the deflecting surface for aligning the trailing edge of a retained film unit with the leading edge of a next advancing film unit so that the next advancing film unit pushes the prior advanced one out of the apparatus to assure that the function of the coiled light shade is not circumvented.
