Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A device for developing a photographed film by rolling up and down said film in a liquid developer comprising a hollow body opened at the lower end thereof, a rotary shaft axially extending through said hollow body to be slidable thereto and having a length long enough to extend beyond the lower free end of said hollow body, and a disc attached to the lower end of said rotary shaft and adapted to close said lower end of said hollow body when said rotary shaft is raised to a predetermined level.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
91 words
A device for developing a photographed film by rolling up and down said film in a liquid developer comprising a hollow body opened at the lower end thereof, a rotary shaft axially extending through said hollow body to be slidable thereto and having a length long enough to extend beyond the lower free end of said hollow body, and a disc attached to the lower end of said rotary shaft and adapted to close said lower end of said hollow body when said rotary shaft is raised to a predetermined level.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rotary shaft has an annular plate attached thereto above said disc with a space substantially corresponding to a width of the film to be developed, said annular plate having a diameter smaller than that of said hollow body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a means for temporarily connecting said disc to the lower end of said hollow body when said rotary shaft is raised to the predetermined level.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said disc has apertures on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, said apertures being communicated with each other by bent passages not to allow light to be penetrated from the aperture on one surface to the other aperture on the other surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said hollow body has a slit extending upwardly from the lower end thereof, said slit being covered with a brush not to allow penetration of light through said slit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a rotary disc attached to the upper end of said rotary shaft, and a knob mounted upon said rotary disc to be eccentrical relative to said rotary shaft.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said rotary shaft has a length substantially twice as long as said hollow body and a slit for engaging the end of the film is provided through said rotary shaft between said disc and said annular plate.
