摘要： The present invention includes at least one friction member module frictionally and rotatably mounted on a frame. When the friction member module is rotated, the friction between the frame and the friction member module is converted into a torque which is exerted on the frame, so that the frame can be swayed to a paper taking position, thereby facilitating feeding paper automatically.

摘要： The elastic cover of a scanner has an elastic convex bottom plate to press against the paper to be scanned. The convex bottom plate has windows for air trapped in the duct of the convex bottom plate to flow out and press against the paper so that the paper does not fly when the cover is lifted.

摘要： The collecting tray of a ink-jet printer is equipped with a guard to prevent the paper immediately after exiting from the printer to fall to the bottom of the tray. The guard is much narrower than the width of the tray so that the guard tilts the paper. A succeeding sheet of paper pushes the tilted paper until the tilted paper is pushed beyond the end of the guard and falls to the bottom of the tray after a time delay for the ink to dry.

摘要： The present invention provides a feeding mechanism and an image processing apparatus using the same. The feeding mechanism includes an upper casing, a lower casing disposed opposite the upper casing, a sheet tray, a main feeding roller, a sheet-separation member and a first auxiliary roller. The upper casing and the lower casing form a transporting path. The sheet tray for loading a sheet is coupled with the lower casing. The main feeding roller for feeding the sheet in a feeding direction is disposed in the lower casing. The sheet-separation member, disposed at a downstream position of the main feeding roller with respect to the feeding direction, separates the sheet from another sheet. The first auxiliary roller is disposed in the lower casing and on a lateral side of the main feeding roller for feeding the sheet in the feeding direction.

摘要： A book scanner for scanning a book having first and second inner surfaces and a ridge. The scanner includes a transparent platen for supporting the first inner surface, a housing, and a scanning module. The housing has a housing platen for supporting the second inner surface, and the housing and transparent platen are connected to define a first angle smaller than 180 degrees. The module is moved along a direction parallel to the ridge to scan the first inner surface. The module includes a lighting device having first and second sections. The two sections define a second angle smaller than 180 degrees; and the second section has a second end, and a first end closer to a first plane containing the transparent platen than the second end. The bent second section may provide extra light rays to compensate the brightness and thus enhance the edge image quality.

摘要： A calibration mechanism of a scanner includes a second light source, a calibration element having an opening, a first light source and a scanning module. The second light source is assembled with the calibration element, and the first light source is disposed at a position opposite to the calibration element. During the shading correction, the calibration element is rotated by an angle so that the first light source illuminates on a surface of the calibration element, and the reflected light enters the scanning module. When a transmissive original is being scanned, the light of the second light source passes through the opening of the calibration element and the transmissive original, and then enters the scanning module.
