An image scanner apparatus is composed of a housing, an optical unit positioned in the housing, a drive mechanism driving the optical unit. The drive mechanism includes first and second wires connected to the optical unit, and a drive motor driving the first and second wires. One end of the first wire is connected to a first fixture, and one end of the second wire is connected to a second fixture. The first fixture is secured to a first wire-retaining member positioned outside the housing at a first securing position, and the first wire-retaining member retains the first fixture so that the first securing position is adjustable.

A module 1 movable over the original surface 110 of the original reader 100 has a metal sheet frame 4disposed in the vicinity of its gravitational center G and having a substantially channel-like shape. A first and a second optical systems 2 and 3 and a drive source 6 assembled to be integral with a flat part 40 of the metal sheet frame 4. Thus, a reduced-size, improved quality and improved-accuracy original reader to be used for facsimile devices and image scanners is obtained.

A capacitor (1) using a flexible substrate (2) includes a hole portion (6a) formed in a dielectric (6) to connect an upper electrode (7) to an external leader electrode (4). At least part of the hole portion (6a) extends from its lower end to upper end at an inclination between 0.1 and 20° with respect to a top surface of the external leader electrode (4). Then, an upper end corner of an inclined wall surface of the upper electrode (7), which inclines along the hole portion (6a) of the dielectric (6), has a downward inclination between 0.1 and 20°. A lower end corner of the inclined wall surface of the upper electrode (7), which inclines along the hole portion of the dielectric (6), has an upward inclination between 0.1 and 20°. As a result, stress concentration on the corners of the upper electrode (7) is drastically reduced to prevent the upper electrode (7) from cracking.
摘要:
An image scanner of the type projecting the image of a document on a one-dimensional image sensor while maintaining the length of an optical path between the image sensor and a document scanning position constant is disclosed. A stop member is fitted on one end of a wire and affixed to a rail. The wire is turned back via a driven pulley rotatably mounted on a half-speed carriage and then affixed to a full-speed carriage at a preselected point of the wire. Subsequently, the wire is again turned back by a driven pulley, and then turned back via a driven pulley rotatably mounted on the half-speed carriage. A stop member is fitted on the other end of the wire and temporarily affixed to the rail.

An automatic document feeder is mounted on a platen cover, which is located on a housing of a manuscript scanning section and movable relative to the housing to have open and shut states. The automatic document feeder is provided with: a manuscript stacker adapted to have manuscripts stacked on it; an outer frame structure having the manuscript stacker movable to attain the open and shut states; and a handle section provided integrally with the outer frame structure and disposed anteriorly to the manuscript stacker. The space between the manuscript stacker and the platen cover serves as a manuscript discharging section. The handle section is formed in a shape so as to avoid narrowing the entrance for inserting a hand into the manuscript discharging section.
