ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the processing of a film contained in a cassette, the cassette being of the kind comprising a substantially cylindrical body formed with protruding light-tight longitudinally extending film exit slot means and having the film wound thereon, said apparatus comprising a light-tight columnar body having a longitudinal axis and a block accommodated by said columnar body having a central aperture for receiving the cassette and retaining the cassette body, and having a space sufficiently large to receive from said cassette the spool with the film wound thereon, and a plunger adapted for engaging the spool of said cassette and being movable to force the lowermost cap off said cassette body and to move said spool and the film wound thereon out of said cassette body and into said space, said space being adapted for containing liquid for processing the film, the apparatus being characterized in that there is present in the apparatus below the block, but above the space for containing liquid a shelf which is adapted to catch and retain the end cap as it is pushed off the cassette, the said shelf having in its middle a circular hole of sufficient diameter to allow passage therethrough of the film wound thereon the spool, but too small to allow the end cap to fall through the shelf.
