Abstract:
An image input device comprises a mirror body which is designed in a polygonal prism form and has side peripheral surfaces each formed of a mirror face, image pickup light from a subject being reflected from the mirror face, and a linear sensor for talking the image pickup light reflected from each mirror face of the mirror body to perform photoelectric conversion on the image pickup light. The mirror body is arranged so that the length direction thereof is substantially parallel to the length direction of the linear sensor, and disposed so as to be rotatable around a shaft at the center of the bottom surface which are substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the mirror body.
Abstract:
An articulated arm (1) according to the invention, for the alignment of a capturing means (2) for optically capturing an object to be placed on a support surface (3), hasnullas a conventional double parallelogram armnulla base part (4), a top part (7), an articulated part (10) and two pairs of rods (5, 6, 8, 9) which connect the base part (4) or the top part (7) to the articulated part (10). In contrast to the prior art, an articulated arm (1) according to the invention furthermore has a shaft (11) which is rotatably fastened to the top part (7) and has an operative mechanical connection to one of the rods (9) pivotably fastened to the top part (7). This operative connection results in a rotation of the shaft (11) relative to the top part (7) on pivoting of the rod (9).

Abstract:
An image inputting device comprises a base having an object resting surface on which an object rests, an image pickup unit, a reflecting unit having a reflecting surface for reflecting a light from the object and introducing the light to the image pickup unit, and a holding unit disposed on the base to be rotatable about a first axis parallel to the object resting surface. The image pickup unit is rotatable about a second axis disposed on the holding unit, and the reflecting unit is rotatable about a third axis disposed on the holding unit.
Abstract:
A visual presentation apparatus includes a generally rectangular stage on which a material is placed, a video camera for obtaining an image of the material, a camera arm on which the video camera is mounted so that the video camera is located above a central portion of the stage, and an arm mount provided outside one of corners of the stage. The arm has a proximal end pivotally mounted on the arm mount so that the camera arm is caused to pivot substantially along a diagonal of the stage between a first position where the video camera is located above the central portion of the stage and a second position where the camera arm is folded down along the stage. The video camera is located within the stage when the arm assumes the second position.
Abstract:
A housing for a portable scanning device is described having a front side and back side, with a scanning device sized to fit within the housing. A transparent platen located on the front side of the housing allows an object positioned adjacent the transparent platen to be scanned by the scanning device. A window located on the back side of the housing allows a user to view at least a portion the object positioned adjacent the transparent platen.
Abstract:
A TV camera unit is supported by a camera support member having an arm-receiving hole into which an arm is inserted. When a camera support shaft protruded upward from a camera base of the camera support member is fitted into a downward attitude holding aperture that is formed in the front face of the TV camera unit to be parallel to the optical axis of a lens of the TV camera unit, the TV camera unit is supported by the camera base and set at a downward shooting position where the lens faces downward. When the camera support shaft is fitted into a horizontal attitude holding aperture that is formed in the bottom face of the TV camera unit to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, the TV camera unit is set at a horizontal shooting position where the lens faces in the horizontal direction.
Abstract:
A picture image input device having the capabilities of a sheet fed scanner with respect to sheet-type original media and realizing the convenience of a hand scanner with respect to original media such as books and the like. The picture image input device includes a light source that emits light for reading an original medium, an image sensor, a projection optical system that composes an image of the original medium on the image sensor, a driving unit that moves the original medium relative to the image sensor and a folding joint unit that changes the usage state between one of an open state and a folded state. In the open state the picture image input device functions as a hand scanner. In the closed state the picture image input device functions as a sheet fed scanner. The reading position of the original medium is the boundary between a reading unit and a driving unit of the picture image input device in the folded state.
Abstract:
The hand-held scanning device is adjustable between a compact transport configuration and a relatively larger use configuration. In its compact transport configuration, the hand-held scanning device can conveniently be carried, for example, in a shirt pocket. In its use configuration, however, the device is capable of scanning a relatively large object. The hand-held scanning device may be constructed of two housing portions that slide or pivot relatively to one another to provide for this adjustment.
