  • Patent number: 7367556
    Abstract: A sheet-handling apparatus includes a base, a second motor and a sheet-fetching assembly driven by the second motor. The sheet-fetching assembly has a passive gear and a floating gear. When the passive gear rotates, the floating gear revolves around the passive gear. A plurality of driving rollers are driven by a first motor. A plurality of driven rollers are driven by driving rollers, respectively. A prop assembly includes a brace arranged in the base, a prop axel engaged in the brace, a twist arm fixed at the prop axel and having a plurality of teeth for contacting with the floating gear, a swimming arm sleeved and firmly engaged with the swimming arm and a spring component installed on a support board of the swimming arm. The passive gear drives the floating gear descending and ascending. There are two motors provided in the sheet-handling apparatus in order to simplify the structure of the sheet-handling apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20060279807
    Abstract: A flat bed scanner having a transparent platform and a scanning mechanism is provided in the present invention. The transparent platform is used to support the objects that wait for scanning. The scanning mechanism is movably placed under the transparent platform along the length direction of the transparent platform. The scanning mechanism includes a plurality of LEDs, a camera lens and a CCD. The LEDs are arranged in a line along the width direction of the transparent platform. The scanning mechanism further includes a diffuser that is placed over the LEDs and has the same width with the transparent platform, and the diffuser diffuses the light beams radiated from the LEDs and then projects the light beams being diffused over the objects that wait for scanning.

  • Patent number: 7048271
    Abstract: A sheet separator for an automatic document feeder of the invention is capable of separating an outmost sheet from a stack. The separator includes a separating roller driven by a driving device, a friction roller, a first shaft, and a force-applying mechanism for pushing the separating and friction rollers against each other. The friction roller has a first rotating state, in which the friction roller is driven by the separating roller, a stationary state when the separating roller feeds a first sheet, and a second rotating state, in which the friction roller is driven by a second sheet fed by the separating roller. The first shaft is inserted into the friction roller to provide a damping torque for stopping the rotation of the friction roller.
