Abstract: A document camera includes a base, a first arm assembled to the base, a second arm assembled to the first arm, and a camera head assembled to the second arm. The first arm is pivotable between a parallel extending position and a raised position. The second arm is pivotable between a juxtaposed position and a raised position and between the raised position and a parallel extending position. The camera head is pivotable between a juxtaposed position and a position where the camera head is raised from the second arm. When the document camera is to be folded, the first arm is set to the parallel extending position, the second arm and the camera head are to the respective juxtaposed positions. When the document camera has been folded, upper surfaces of the first and second arms and the camera head are substantially coplanar.

Abstract: A material imaging apparatus includes a base, support pillar and imaging camera divided into a camera base and a camera neck. The camera is mounted via a first shaft on the pillar so as to be pivotable between a right horizontal position where an imaging lens is located on a base right side and a left horizontal position where the lens is located on base left side. The camera neck is mounted via a second shaft on the camera base so as to be rotatable between a downwardly vertical position where when the camera assumes the right or left horizontal position, the lens is directed to the base placement surface side and lens optical axis is substantially vertical to the base placement surface, and an upwardly vertical position where the lens is directed to a side opposite the base placement surface and the optical axis assumes a substantially vertical position.
