AUTOMATIC MANUSCRIPT FEEDER AND IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE USING THIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic manuscript feeder in which a manuscript passed through a reading part is hardly rocked, jitter and color shift are hardly generated and conveyance of the manuscript is stabilized, and to provide an image formation device using the feeder.;SOLUTION: A reading belt 20 is laid on a reading belt driving roller 19, a reading belt pressurization roller 27 and a reading belt driven roller 44, the reading belt driven roller 44 is arranged on a scale 53 and the reading belt 20 is wrapped around to that position. An inclination is provided on the scale 53 in order to scoop up the manuscript. The manuscript P of which an image is read out on a slit glass 52 is passed on the scale 53 and at this time, a leading end of the manuscript P and the reading belt 20 rotated in the manuscript conveying direction are moved at the approximately same speed. Therefore, relative line speed of the both are approximately zero. Rocking and vibrating of the leading end of the manuscript are not generated when the leading end of the manuscript passed on the slit glass 52 is raised on the scale 53, generation of jitter and the color shift at color copying can be prevented.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
