Abstract: An image reading apparatus comprises a scanner and an ADF. The scanner includes a housing having an upper surface which is formed of a document table glass and a through-read glass. The ADF is provided to cover the document table glass and through-read glass. The housing contains first and second carriages such that they can slide along rails. In a through-read mode, the first carriage is moved to a reading position below the through-read glass, the case of the first carriage is magnetically held by an electromagnet, and the first carriage is fixed at a reading position. A vibration-absorbing member is interposed between the electromagnet and the case, thereby preventing vibration, generated by an ADF driving motor, from being transmitted to the first carriage via the housing.

Abstract: Film support bridges for use in precisely positioning film during scanning in a digital film processing system. A friction reducing material may be applied to the bridge to minimize scratching of the film. The material may be applied to only the center portion of the bridge to raise the film at its center but to allow the edges of the film near the sprocket holes to be free from contact with the bridge to minimize vibration. In other embodiments, the bridge includes a pair of longitudinally spaced rollers which roll as the film travels over the bridge, the bridge includes a pair of transversely spaced side rollers which contact the film near the side edges of the film, or the bridge comprises two elongated strips which are connected near their ends so as to form an elongated slot which has a length less than the width between sprocket holes.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to reproduce a faithful image irrespective of thermal expansion of a light-scanning unit and to reproduce a faithful image without enhancing the strength of the light-scanning unit excessively. A pair of supporting portions of a light-scanning unit, each having a flat face, are supported in linear contact with a right column-shaped supporting member provided with the apparatus body. The light-scanning unit is provided on the supporting member near to a starting position where writing image data on a photosensitive body with a scanning line is started in a main scanning direction so as not to be mutually displaced relative to the supporting member. Thereby, the light-scanning unit is allowed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the supporting member due to thermal expansion of the light-scanning unit. Also, an elongated supporting member made of stainless steel penetrates a base body of a light-scanning unit made of synthetic resin which scans in scanning line of laser light on the photosensitive body to exposure, to support the light-scanning unit. The center of gravity of the light-scanning unit is positioned near to the supporting member and vertically below the supporting member, to make the moment acting on the light-scanning unit small and hold the light-scanning unit in a stable state. The supporting member suppresses deformation of the base body due to thermal expansion.

Abstract: A carriage drive system includes a carriage driven along a carriage path under a force generated by a drive motor. The driving force is coupled to the carriage by a drive belt. High frequency vibrations occurring in the drive belt are isolated from the carriage to improve print quality or scanning accuracy. Vibrations are introduced to the drive belt by the drive motor, the connection between the drive motor and the drive belt or from another source. High frequency decoupling is achieved using a spring connection which serves as a low pass filter of vibration frequencies. In addition, a linear encoder is included on the carriage for detecting carriage position. Such linear encoder samples carriage position at a rate fast enough to enable compensation for low frequency carriage vibrations.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new information reading apparatus which employs a CIS module for reading the image information from a sheet. The invention is characterized by using a single guiding device for guiding and supporting a CIS carriage in balance while contacting tightly with the bottom surface side of the sheet table. Since the space between the CIS module and the sheet table can be controlled this way, we can assure the sheet in focus. Consequently, the picture quality of the images generated by the CIS scanner can be improved.
