A washing bath in a photographic paper processor has plural washing
chambers for washing photographic paper with washing water by passage of
the photographic paper. Plural cell units are coupled with one another
vertically by a modular structure. Each of the cell units has one of the
washing chambers. A sealing medium of silicone rubber keeps a cell
connection portion between the cell units in a liquid-tight state. A
blade mechanism is secured to a panel constituting the cell units, allows
the photographic paper to pass between the washing chambers, and blocks
passage of the washing water. A transporting rack transports the
photographic paper serially to pass the washing chambers. The cell
connection portion includes a connection surface, disposed to extend
horizontally, and separable for removal of the cell units in the vertical
direction. The sealing medium is secured to one of two cell units being
coupled.
