An image recording apparatus having an exposure unit, a pressure developing unit and a thermal fixing unit. The apparatus employs a separate type image recording mediums including a microcapsule sheet and a separate developer sheet. The thermal fixing unit applies heat to the developer sheet carrying an output image thereon. A heat application means of the thermal fixing unit is positioned spaced away from the imaging surface of the developer sheet for avoding direct contact therewith.

An image recording apparatus disclosed herein is capable of recording a color image with the use of a photosensitive and pressure-sensitive recording sheet. A latent image is formed on the recording sheet by exposing light emitted from an exposure light source. The latent image formed thereon is subjected to a pressure developement to provide a visible image on a color developer sheet. The visible image is then thermally fixed by a thermal fixing device which comprises a heat storing/radiating means for storing heat generated by the exposure light source and radiating the heat stored therein toward the color developer sheet. The heat storing/radiating means is disposed between the exposure light source and the developer sheet on which the visible image is formed to be in substantial contact with the color developer sheet, whereby no separate heat source is necessary for heating the color developer sheet.

Disclosed is a method of recording a picture onto a photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper, which comprises the steps of: forming in advance a mask original form of a film having a light-transmitting portion and a non-light-transmitting portion corresponding to information of the picture; exposing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper through the mask original form to thereby form a latent image on the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper; and pressure-fixing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper carrying the latent image formed thereon. Further disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out the above method, which comprises: a mask forming means for forming a mask original form of a film having a light-transmitting portion and a non-light-transmitting portion corresponding to picture information of an original picture; an exposure means for exposing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper through the mask original form formed by the mask forming means; and a pressure-fixing means for pressing the photosensitive and pressure-sensitive paper having a latent image formed by the exposure means to thereby perform pressure-development.

摘要:
A sheet heating device for heating a developer sheet to fix an output image formed thereon. The sheet heating device includes a guide plate and a cover member to define an internal space therebetween. Within the space, a heater and a fan is provided. The fan generate circulating hot air stream which is directed in a traveling direction of the developer sheet. The hot air has a transversal width substantially the same as a transverse length of the developer sheet.

A thermal fixing unit provided with gas purification means for use in an image recording medium. The gas purification means traps gaseous component released from a developer sheet upon heating thereof. The purification means includes a duct body disposed to surround a main frame of the thermal fixing unit, a support body having one end connected to the duct body, a fluid passage being defined between the main frame and the duct body, and the fluid passage being connected between the one end of the support body and sheet inlet and sheet outlet of the thermal fixing unit, the gas venting fan rotatably provided at the support body for sucking fluid in the main frame through the sheet inlet, the sheet outlet and the fluid passage, and a filter member disposed in the support body for trapping the gaseous component released from the developer sheet.

A color copying machine has a sheet heating device for heating a color developer sheet while the sheet is being fed. The sheet heating device includes a sheet feed path along which the sheet is fed, a heater unit spaced from the sheet feed path, and a sheet protective member of an insulating material disposed between the sheet feed path and the heater unit. The sheet protective member has a plurality of holes defined therein for passing radiant heat from the heater unit toward the sheet feed path. The sheet protective member may comprise a mesh screen of intersecting filaments or a punched iron sheet.

A sheet heating device having heat insulators for preventing at least one of sheet feeding roller and sheet discharge roller from being overheated. The sheet heating device includes a delivery unit for delivering a piece of sheet, a heating unit for heating the sheet on a delivery path of the sheet, a cover member for covering the heating unit and opening on a feed side and a discharge side of the sheet, respectively, and two pairs of rollers adapted to close respective openings of the cover member. The pair of rollers serve as heat insulators for avoiding overheating to the sheet feeding and discharging rollers. Shutter members are also available for heat insulation. The shutter members also serve to confine hot air within an interior of the heating device.

A multi-beam scanner has two light emitting points ch1, ch2 and an optical system. The light emitting points ch1, ch2 are separated by a distance &Dgr;along a depth-of-focus direction. The longitudinal magnification &agr;, or the image-side numerical aperture NA, of the optical system is set so that the surface to be scanned of a photosensitive drum is positioned within a range where the depths of focus de of the light beams from the two light emitting points ch1, ch2 overlap. The multi-beam scanner can focus the light beams onto the surface of the photosensitive drum at all the scanning positions even when the optical system has curvature of field.
