Thermal developing apparatus
View Patent ↗A thermal developing apparatus for visualizing a latent image recorded on a photosensitive thermal developing recording material by heating the photosensitive thermal developing recording material with heating unit while conveying the photosensitive thermal developing recording material with conveying unit along a conveying path having the heating unit equipped therewith, the thermal developing apparatus containing a manual feeding tray for manually feeding the exposed photosensitive thermal developing recording material into the thermal developing apparatus.
1. A thermal developing apparatus for developing a latent image recorded on a photosensitive thermal developing recording material, comprising:
a conveying unit for conveying the material along a conveying path;
a heating unit for heating the material while conveying the material by the conveying unit, the heating unit being provided at the conveying path; and
a manual feeding tray for manually feeding an exposed material into the thermal developing apparatus,
wherein the heating unit heats both sides of the material.
2. The thermal developing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heating unit comprises a plurality of press rollers comprising heaters.
3. The thermal developing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of press rollers comprises a heater.
4. The thermal developing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heating unit comprises a plate heater.
5. The thermal developing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of press rollers heat a first side of the photosensitive thermal developing recording material and a plate heater heats a second side of the photosensitive thermal developing recording material.
