Abstract:
There are provided a developer spreading device, a printer, and a digital camera with a printer which are capable of equally spreading a developer in a width direction of a film unit. The developer spreading device includes a transport roller pair, a spreading roller pair, and a spreading control member. The spreading roller pair transports a film unit transported by the transport roller pair while pinching the film unit over the entire width. The spreading control member is provided between the transport roller pair and the spreading roller pair. A distal end of the spreading control member is formed in a convex shape of which a center portion protrudes toward the film unit on a cross-section of the film unit in a width direction. Thus, it is possible to press the film unit with an equal pressing force in the width direction of the film unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A developer spreading device comprising:\n a transport roller pair that transports an instant film unit having a mask sheet, a photosensitive sheet which is pasted onto the mask sheet, a cover sheet which is pasted onto the photosensitive sheet and includes a front surface as an exposure surface, and a developer pod which is formed at a distal end portion in a transport direction perpendicular to a width direction of the exposure surface and contains a developer; a spreading roller pair that is disposed on a downstream side of the transport roller pair in the transport direction, and spreads the developer between the photosensitive sheet and the cover sheet by crushing the developer pod of the exposed instant film unit; and a spreading control member that is formed between the transport roller pair and the spreading roller pair so as to extend in a width direction of the instant film unit, includes a distal end which touches the instant film unit, and controls a distribution of the developer spread by crushing the developer pod, wherein the distal end of the spreading control member is formed in a convex shape of which a center portion protrudes toward the instant film unit on a cross-section of the instant film unit in the width direction.
