Abstract: A copying apparatus capable of performing a first preset number of copying operations corresponding to a first original document in a successive copying operation mode, and performing a second preset number of copying operations corresponding to a second original document in an intruded copying operation mode includes preset number display elements for indicating a first and second preset numbers, first counter for counting a number of copying operations, a copy number display element for indicating a value counted by the first counting means, a second counter for counting a discharged copy paper after the completion of a copying operation, and a detector for detecting a jam of the copy paper. The counted value of the first counter is revised so as to be equal to the counted value of the second counter when a copy paper jam occurs.

Abstract: A copy paper feeding device for a copying apparatus includes a plurality of cassettes which are capable of storing copy paper sheets and a feeder which respectively corresponds to each of the cassettes. Each feeder is selectively driven so as to feed the copy paper sheets in the case where the cassettes store copy paper sheets having different sizes and each feeder is driven in a predetermined order so as to feed the copy paper sheets from one cassette until the cassette is empty and then successively feed the copy paper sheets from the remaining cassette in the case where the cassettes store copy paper sheets having the same size. The copy paper feeding device includes a selector for selecting which feeder is to be driven.

Abstract: An exposure adjustment device for an electrostatic copying apparatus provides that electric power of an exposure lamp is controlled by pressing a key so as to cause copy density over a surface of a photoconductive member to be adjusted. The exposure lamp is energized electrically subsequent to change a of copy density from a set level to a standard level predetermined for obtaining an ordinary copy when a period predetermined by a timer elapses after copying operation finished and/or after the key is operated. This results in that the copy density of exposure is accomplished properly even if an operator forgets to adjust the copy density of exposure.

Abstract: An electrostatic photographic copying apparatus comprising a frame member having a transparent plate on which to place an original to be copied, a rotatable photosensitive drum having an electrostatic photographic material on its periphery, an optical system for projecting an image of the original onto the surface of the photographic material, an image-forming zone disposed exteriorly of, and alongside, the periphery of said photo-sensitive drum for forming on said sensitive material an electrostatic latent image corresponding to the image of the original or a developed image corresponding to the latent image, a transfer zone for transforming said image to a transfer paper, and a transfer paper forwarding system for feeding the transfer paper on which the image has been transferred to a discharge end through a desired treating zone.

Abstract: An electrostatic photographic copying apparatus includes an optical system for projecting an image of an original onto the surface of a photosensitive drum. The system consists of openings for exposure of the original and the photosensitive drum, first and second reflex mirrors, and a mirror lens. The mirror lens is disposed so that light from the original is reflected by the first reflex mirror into said mirror lens and from the mirror lens back to the first reflex mirror. The light from the original is then reflected by the first reflex mirror to the second reflex mirror and from the second reflex mirror onto the photosensitive drum to thereby form a four-fold reverse image of the original being copied.

Abstract: Apparatus for preventing successive jamming of copy sheets in copying apparatus of the type including a forwarding mechanism for moving a copy sheet along a running path through a treatment zone for forming a visible image on the copy sheets and a copy sheet feeding mechanism, the successive jamming prevention apparatus including one or more detecting members disposed at detecting points in the running path so that at least one of the detecting members will contact a copy sheet at any position in the running path, a switch having normally closed contacts opened in response to contact of any of the detecting members with a copy sheet to prevent actuation of the copy sheet feeding mechanism and normally open contacts closed in response to contact of any of the detecting members with a copy sheet to provide an alarm signal.

Abstract: An electrostatic photographic copying apparatus wherein the image-forming device, the optical device, the transfer device and the transfer paper transferring device are controlled according to the rotation of the rotary drum so that one cycle of the copying operation is completed while the rotating drum, equipped with a photosensitive element on which to form an image, is rotated through two turns. Substantially the entire surface of the rotary drum can be utilized as an image-forming area by rotating the rotary drum through two turns in one cycle of the copying operation.

Abstract: A photosensitive drum-type electrostatic copying apparatus includes a size designating member disposed adjacent to the original to be copied. The size designating member is connected by a cable to a position adjusting member that is rotatably mounted coaxially with the drum. As the size designated member is moved, the position adjusting member is rotated to position a switch in correspondence to the desired length of the original to be copied and the transfer paper. The position of the switch determines the length of the transfer paper by activating a cutter when the desired length of the transfer paper is sensed by the switch.

Abstract: A copying machine of the diazo type comprises a light exposure zone for exposing to light a diazo type photosensitive sheet superposed with an original, a development zone for developing the light exposed photosensitive sheet and a delivery mechanism for feeding the original and diazo type photosensitive sheet to the light exposure zone and forwarding the light exposed photosensitive sheet to the development zone. The light exposure zone includes a transparent cylinder capable of rotating while having a superposed assembly of the original and photosensitive sheet closely contacting the outer surface thereof and a heat-generating light source mounted in the interior of the transparent cylinder.

Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine of the type in which the optical system is fixed in the machine frame, an original to be copied is placed on a moving support disposed at the upper portion of the machine frame and a sheet of electrophotographic copying paper is introduced, synchronously with the movement of the original, from a paper feed device to a passage for transport of copying paper to effect the copying operation; wherein during each copying cycle the support moves from a home position to a start of scanning position, reverses its direction to move during the scanning operation by a variable distance equal to the length of the copy to an end of scanning position, and returns to the home position.
