ABSTRACT:
The replenishing device for use in a light-sensitive material processing apparatus provided with a processing tank for storing a processing solution therein by which a light-sensitive material is processed, includes a first detector to detect an amount of light-sensitive material processed in the processing tank, and to output a detection signal when the amount has reached a predetermined value; a replenisher to replenish the processing agent from a solid agent storing member to the processing tank. The replenisher incudes a processing agent receiving section which receives the processing agent through an opening of a housing member provided inside of the replenisher in the process of movement from an initial position to a replenishing position, and replenishes it to the processing tank at the replenishing position. The device further includes a sliding member linked with the receiving section which slides on the inside of the housing member, to close the opening at the initial position. The replenishing device still further includes a control section to control the start of movement of the receiving section in accordance with a detection signal sent from the first detector so that the processing agent can be fed into the processing tank, and to control the stop of movement of the receiving section when a second detector detects that the receiving section is located at the initial position after the start of movement of the receiving section.
