Abstract:
An image recording apparatus which is arranged to project image rays from an image bearing medium onto a screen by the mirrors of a reader system and, as required, to record the image on an image recording medium by rotating a rotary mirror in a scanning manner. The apparatus includes a plurality of reflection mirrors for transmitting image rays reflected by the rotary mirror onto the image recording medium. The mirrors are disposed such that the optical axes of the image rays reflected from the rotary mirror to the final-stage mirror are located in one plane.
Abstract:
A movable rod member is provided that changes the shape of a medium receiver of a medium storage portion by changing the location of the movable rod member. The location of the movable rod member is changed in accordance with the condition of a medium, so as to change a method of storing the medium.
Abstract:
A winding apparatus for use in a copier, a printer, and other devices for ejecting a printed sheet in a rolled form of a cylinder without having a core includes a gripping mechanism for gripping the leading end of a sheet when the sheet is rolled into cylindrical form. The gripping mechanism is disposed on a cylindrical member provided to each of both ends of the sheet in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the sheet and moving with the conveyance of the sheet. The on and off states of gripping to the leading end of the sheet can be controlled. The gripping mechanism is turned to the off state, and the cylindrical member is retracted from the sheet.
Abstract:
In a reader printer, an upper unit for a printer is made to be rotatable toward an upper unit for a reader, both of which are provided on a lower machine box. The upper reader unit includes a screen for displaying an image. The upper unit for the printer rotates to enter a space in the upper reader unit behind the reflecting member closest to the screen so that a predetermined opening is provided between the lower machine box and the upper printer unit to expose the inside of the apparatus.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus switchable between an observation mode for projecting an image onto an observation position and a read mode for projecting the image onto a read position includes an optical system for forming an optical path for projecting the image onto the observation position. The optical system includes at least one movable mirror for receiving a light beam from the image. The mirror is movable to a first position for reflecting the light beam from the image toward the observation position and to a second position for reflecting the light beam toward the read position.The apparatus also includes a first moving mechanism for moving the mirror to the first position and to the second position, an image sensor disposed at the read position and movable so as to enter into the optical path or to retreat from the optical path, and a second moving mechanism for moving the image sensor along a straight line crossing the optical path.
Abstract:
A projection copying apparatus having an image forming lens, a first reflection member opposed to the lens, a reader optical path lens system and a printer optical path lens system. The reader optical path lens system includes a movable reflection member, and projects an image onto a screen when the apparatus is in a reading mode. When the apparatus is in a printing mode, a driving device moves the printer optical path lens system in such a manner to reflect light from the first reflection member onto a photosensitive medium. The movable reflection member is moved in and out of a reflection light path of the first reflection member to change the apparatus between the reading mode and the printing mode.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus having a recording head and a recording medium conveying apparatus for conveying the recording medium from one position to another position. The recording medium conveying apparatus includes a rotary body pair capable of holding the recording medium, a driving device for rotatably driving the rotary body pair, and a rotary body moving device for moving the rotary body from one position to another position. The rotary body moves to a first position for receiving the recording medium from the recording head in a first route and conveying it to a second route, and a second position for conveying the recording medium from the first route to a fixing section in a third route.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus which is capable of forming a positive image either from a negative original or a positive original. The apparatus is provided with a device for preventing the non-image area of the photosensitive member from being developed by a developer, so as to avoid a wastefull consumption of the developer. The operation of the preventing means is controlled in dependence on whether the original is positive or negative, so that the prevention of the non-image area development is effectively performed independently of whether the original is negative or positive.
