Claim:
A photosensitive material turning member provided in a tank that stores processing solution to which a band-shaped photosensitive material having a silver salt containing layer on a base film is conveyed, the photosensitive material turning member allowing the band-shaped photosensitive material to float with respect to the photosensitive material turning member such that the band-shaped photosensitive material is turned without contacting the photosensitive material turning member, the photosensitive material turning member comprising: a first cylindrical member disposed in a direction crossing a conveying direction of the band-shaped photosensitive material that has, on a surface thereof in a longitudinal direction, a plurality of slit-shaped discharge openings that discharge the processing solution; and a second cylindrical member disposed inside the first cylindrical member that has nozzles that eject the processing solution, wherein intervals between the discharge openings on a conveying direction upstream side and a conveying-direction downstream side are smaller than intervals between the discharge openings at a conveying-direction middle portion.
