Abstract: A copy cassette supplying device supplies a copy cassette which holds a copy to be read, to an image reading device. The copy cassette supplying device includes a cassette holder having a vertical array of steps for holding copy cassettes thereon, the cassette holder being movable in a direction along the array of steps. The copy cassette supplying device also includes a cassette identifying unit for identifying copy cassettes to be carried on the steps, and a cassette supply unit for supplying copy cassettes held on the steps of the cassette holder to the image reading device.

Abstract: A conveyor apparatus used in a copying apparatus of the type using separate diffusion transfer photographic materials, and a photosensitive material in the form of a roller contained in a magazine which is withdrawn and cut to a predetermined length to form a photosensitive sheet. A latent image is created in the photosensitive sheet by exposing it using a light source, and an image-receiving material in the form of a sheet is superposed under the exposed photosensitive sheet. A positive image is formed on the image-receiving material using a diffusion transfer processing. The image-receiving sheet is withdrawn from a cassette wherein a stack of image-receiving sheets are contained.

Abstract: A photographic recording device such as may be used for recording images displayed on a cathode-ray tube screen on photographic film in which lenses of different focal length can alternatively be disposed in an optical path between the cathode-ray tube screen and the film. First and second lenses are mounted at ends of respective first and second lens arms. The lens arms are attached to a rotatable shaft with a vertical clearance and a predetermined angle therebetween. Rotary power from a motor is conveyed to the rotary drive shaft via a crank mechanism to cause a reciprocal swinging movement of the two lens arms. A snap spring biases the lens arms in either direction selectively. First and second stops determine the extent of the swinging movement to stably hold the lens arms so as to position the optical axes of the respective first and second lenses in alignment with the optical path of the recording device.
