Abstract: A supporting mechanism for scanning module comprises a supporting bracket for mounting a scanning module thereof Two end portions of the top surface of the supporting bracket are provided with a roller respectively. When the supporting bracket moves longitudinally, the rollers rolls along a bottom surface of a glass plate when a biasing force is exerted to the supporting bracket. The supporting mechanism further includes a biasing device moveably supported by a supporting runway at one end. The biasing device provides a horizontal and a vertical biasing force to the supporting bracket respectively. The supporting bracket is in close contact with a longitudinal reference surface due to the horizontal biasing force exerted thereon as the supporting bracket moves longitudinally. The clearance between the scanning module and the bottom surface of the glass plate is kept substantial constant by the vertical biasing force exerted to the supporting bracket when it moves longitudinally.

Abstract: A scanning system that accurately positions a moving carriage assembly in two directions relative to a platen. Such a scanning system includes a frame that has a registration member that extends in the Y direction, and a platen whose plane is normal to the Z direction and which is attached to the frame. The platen receives a substrate in a predetermined position relative to the registration member. The scanning system further includes a base that has a first and second tilted surfaces that extend in the Y direction, and a moving carriage assembly that is disposed between the platen and the base. The moving carriage assembly includes a housing, at least one button connected to the housing, and first and second biased pivot arms with first and second rollers that ride on the first and second tilted surfaces. The biased pivot arms push the housing against the tilted surfaces such that the button contacts the platen and the registration member. Furthermore, the moving scan imaging system also includes a motion inducing system for moving the moving carriage assembly relative to the platen. Beneficially, when the motion inducing system moves the moving carriage assembly the first and second rollers slide and roll along on the tilted surfaces and therefore bias the button toward the registration member.
