Abstract:
A contact image sensor structure includes a body, a substrate, and a light source unit. The body has a first side surface and a second side surface. The body has a pin slot that passes through the first side surface and the second side surface. The second side surface has a light source receiving slot, and the light source receiving slot links with the pin slot. The substrate has a plurality of pads. The light source unit is fastened in the pin slot and the light source receiving slot. One end of the light source unit has a plurality of pins. The pins pass through the pin slot and contact the pads of the substrate. Thereby, the pins are electrically connected with the pads without welding. The life time and the reliability of the contact image sensor are enhanced, and the assembling process is simplified.

An image forming apparatus including an image forming unit to form an image on a print medium, the image forming apparatus including a guide shaft, first and second shaft insertion members into which the guide shaft is inserted, a unit main body including first and second insertion holes provided along the guide shaft and whose diameters larger than external diameters of the first and second shaft insertion members, respectively, and an adhesive to adhere the first and second shaft insertion members inserted into the first and second insertion holes, to the unit main body.
Abstract:
A floating hinge assembly is characterized by a mounting base for attachment to a cabinet of a machine along a side of an opening to the cabinet, two door bases for attachment to a door of the machine along a side of the door, and a pivot arm and two idler arms rotatably connected to and between the mounting base and door bases. The pivot arm and idler arms control movement of the door bases as the door is opened, such that as the door is opened the side of the door along which the door bases are attached moves both away from and sideways relative to the cabinet
Abstract:
A scanning apparatus includes a housing with a scan flatbed. A loading glass is installed at the scan flatbed of the housing for loading a to-be-scanned document. A photoelectric sensing device senses the light corresponding to the to-be-scanned document to generate electric signals. The electric signals are transmitted through a flat cable to a motherboard. The flat cable is designed to include a line peak so that the surface friction between the flat cable and the loading glass can be reduced to line friction. The flat cable can also be shifted near the sidewall of the housing and is inclined to the center of the housing so that the friction traces remained on the loading glass is outside the scan flatbed. Thus, the abrasion on the loading glass can be reduced and the quality of the scanning images can be improved.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a guide rod; a housing member having a guide part for abutting a document placed on a document table and positioning one side of the document on a table face of the document table and a first positioning part and a second positioning part projecting to the back side of the document table, when both end parts of the guide rod abut against the first positioning part and the second positioning part, the first positioning part and the second positioning part for positioning the guide rod at a position where the one side of the document positioned by the guide part and the longitudinal direction axis are parallel; a fix unit for pressing the guide rod against the first positioning part and the second positioning part; a carriage being fitted slidably into the guide rod; and a carriage drive section for moving the carriage along the guide rod.
Abstract:
A driving apparatus (1) for an optical scanning device (5) has a threaded spindle (16) onto which a spindle nut (23) is threaded. The driving apparatus (1) further includes a coupler (24) for coupling the spindle nut (23) to the scanning device (5). The coupler (24) effects a Cardan coupling in the manner of a Cardan joint. In a technically simple way particularly good synchronisation can be guaranteed during scanning.
Abstract:
A scanning device including a scanning platform, a bar, a carriage, a contact image sensor, a positioning member and an elastic member is provided. The bar disposed below the scanning platform is parallel to the first edge. The carriage has a bottom surface and a top surface. The bottom surface has a receiving part for receiving the bar. The top surface faces the scanning platform. The carriage is slideably moved below the scanning platform along the bar. The contact image sensor disposed on the top surface is for scanning a document. The positioning member which is slideably or rotatably disposed on the bottom surface is for pressing against the bar. The elastic member is connected to the carriage and the positioning member and provides an elastic force to the positioning member. The elastic force transmitted to the bar enables the contact image sensor to press the scanning platform tightly.
Abstract:
A connecting mechanism for a scan carriage and an axial rod has a scan carriage, an axial rod, and a connecting device for connecting the scan carriage to the axial rod. The scan carriage has a flange protruding horizontally from a side thereof. The axial rod is disposed under the flange of the scan carriage. The connecting device includes an elastic hooking plate fixed vertically on a bottom surface of the flange, and a pair of lining pads. The hooking plate has a free end bent downwardly and inwardly therefrom against the axial rod. The pair of pads is fixed on two sides of the bottom surface of the flange and lean against the axial rod mating with the hooking plate.
Abstract:
An improved transmitting system in scanner chassis comprises a bushing rod and an integrated bushing. The bushing includes a first and a second spring strip set respectively disposed at both ends of the bushing for the purpose of clipping onto the bushing rod. The two spring strip sets both include a plurality of spring strips. During an assembling process of the transmitting system, the spring strips of the first and the second spring strip sets can be hold open to allow the bushing rod to pass through, and then the bushing clips to the bushing rod by the potential for the spring strips to return to their original position.
Abstract:
In a combination of a drum scanner and a loading magazine, the drum scanner includes a holding and rotating device equipped for holding an interchangeable copy cylinder firmly from below in an at least approximately upright position and for rotating it about a longitudinal axis thereof for scanning. The loading magazine is constructed for containing a plurality n of magazine spaces equipped for holding copy cylinders in the same orientation and at the same height as on the holding and rotating device of the drum scanner, the n magazine spaces and the holding and rotating device being arranged at regular intervals around a cylinder transport carousel having n+1 outriggers extending in a star-shaped manner relative to the n magazine spaces and the holding and rotating device, and being equipped for lifting, together with the aid of the outriggers, copy cylinders located in the n magazine spaces and on the holding and rotating device, respectively, for moving them in a circle and for setting them down again at a desired location. The drum scanner and the loading magazine are subassemblies separably connected mechanically to one another by connecting elements with vibration-damping properties, and being, respectively, provided with at least one foot for bearing the weight virtually of the respective subassembly.
