摘要:
A scanning apparatus providing an object focal plane for original documents to be scanned, wherein a scan carriage containing illumination, sensor, and optical elements is moved together to scan an original document and to obtain a digitized representation thereof. The movable carnage further includes an automatically-positioned alignment grid for aligning original documents, such that the grid is visible at the surface and moves with the scan carriage.

A variable magnification electrophotographic copier wherein the ratio of object and image distances is changed by rotating a focusing device about an axis orthogonal to its optical axis. In a preferred embodiment, the focusing device is a refractive lens having a shape factor different from zero; the rotational axis intersects the optical axis; and the rotation angle is 180.degree. selectively to reverse the lens surfaces and provide images of two different magnifications each having minimum spherical aberration.

A copier for providing photographic copies of different sized originals, having an optical system variable for altering the magnification of an original, a scale member movable to locate the end of each respective size of original on the copier, and a link mechanism intercoupling the optical system and the scale to automatically vary the system magnification in accordance with the location of the scale.

Improvements in a magnification varying device for electrophotographic copying machine of the mirror scan type to eliminate the drawbacks to be encountered and resulting in degraded copy images when the magnification varying range is increased, such as objectionable operative connection between a projection lens and a deflection mirror, and leakage of undesired light between the lens and a light blocking member around the path of travel of the lens. The present device includes an eccentric cam having the largest radius at a position for giving an equal magnification to assure smooth transmission of drive force to the deflection mirror, and a second light blocking member provided at each side of the lens and opposed to the mirror for preventing the objectionable light not blocked by the above blocking member from reaching the mirror when the lens is qat a position for a reduced magnification.

The device comprises a lamp which directs a light beam to a photosensitive surface through symbols contained on a rotating disc, along a straight axis without changement of direction, the distance between the lamp and the sensitive surface being maintained constant. The device further comprises an enlarging objective movable along the optical axis and allowing to vary continuously the size of the projection of the symbols between two limits, namely between about 0.5 and 1.5 times the normal size of the symbols.

A compact, full-frame flash illumination system is disclosed. In a unity mode of operation, a lens, mounted within a light housing, projects an image of a document onto a photoreceptor belt. In a reduction mode of operation, the lens is translated towards the photoreceptor along a non-linear path which maintains document registration at the image plane. Simultaneously, the platen is translated upward by a mechanical drive arrangement to maintain conjugate requirements.
摘要:
A variable magnification type copying system in which original can be duplicated with different magnification factors. Front and rear group lens systems are slidably mounted relative to one another upon front and rear frames which together make up a housing which is slidably mounted in the perpendicular direction upon a magnification unit frame. A stepping electric motor is mounted upon a plate which is rigidly coupled to the housing and slidably movable therewith. A pinion gear engaged with a pinion gear directly upon the output shaft of the motor is engaged with a rack of the rear frame. An L-shaped lever has a first end having a first cam follower held into abutment with a first cam rotatably mounted upon the output shaft of the motor and a second end connected to slidably move the front lens group by the front frame. A second cam is in abutment with a second cam follower upon the magnification unit to move the housing in the perpendicular direction.
