Abstract: A color copier including an exposure light source exposes an original document with red, blue, and green light, on a photosensitive film having a substrate and an ink coating which includes ink particles of multiple colors carried on the substrate, and on which a reproduction of the original document is formed, in response to the light exposure, through a reaction of ink particles of the color which corresponds to the wavelength of the light reflected from the original document. The color copier further includes a lightproof film case for storing the photosensitive film; an image forming lens for forming an image of the original document on the photosensitive film by focusing the reflected light; a copy paper feeder for feeding a copy paper; a fixer for fixing the image formed on the photosensitive film on the copy paper; a separation claw which separates the photosensitive film from the copy paper after the fixing of the image; and a film take-up shaft for winding thereon the photosensitive film.

Abstract: A transmission informing system in a facsimile apparatus for automatically notifying via a recorded voice message through a separate telephone that a facsimile transmitting operation has been performed through another telephone after the instant facsimile transmission so that a manual confirmation communication operation after the transmission by the person in charge of the transmission is obviated, thus reducing the work required for effecting a facsimile transmission.

Abstract: An intermittent drive mechanism includes, a continuously rotating driving gear; a subsordinately driven gear disposed in a position close to the driving gear, an epicyclic gear being held in such a manner that it can be engaged with the driving gear by its own rotation along the periphery of the driven gear which remains engaged with the epicyclic gear, and a shifting plate that causes the epicyclic gear to be either engaged with the driving gear or disengaged from it by its movement. In response to movement of the shifting plate, when the epicyclic gear is engaged with the driving gear, the rotation force of the driving gear is transmitted to the subordinately driven gear via the epicyclic gear, whereas the transmission of the rotation force is discontinued when the epicyclic gear is disengaged from the driving gear, and, as a result, the subordinately driven gear is intermittently driven.

Abstract: A sheet separating arrangement including a sheet feeding roller and a separating rubber plate held in contact under pressure with the sheet feeding roller both of which are provided along a transport path so as to successively send out sheets transported via the transport path sheet by sheet, between the sheet feeding roller and the separating rubber plate, characterized in that there is provided a separating spring which is formed of an adjustable plate spring for urging the separating rubber plate so as to be depressed onto the sheet feeding roller. The separating spring is held in direct contact with the separating rubber plate and fixed to a fixing plate by a screw member.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus or a method for expressing a halftone-including original image with binary black-and-white pixels and reproducing the original image in the form of a binary-coded output, the feature of the present invention resides in detecting, relative to each of the pixel units obtained by scanning and sampling the original image, a first average density level representative of the average density level of the pixel unit within a first specific reference pixel region composed of pixel unit groups adjacent to the subject pixel unit on the left and right. A second average density level represents of the average density level of the pixel unit within a second specific reference pixel region composed of a pixel unit group adjacent to the first specific reference pixel region from above. The density level of the subject pixel unit is detected in accordance with the first and second average density levels, thereby enabling correction of the gradation.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus in which an optical system is formed into a unit to make the entire construction compact and facilitate positioning of each component.The optical unit comprises a block structure provided with mounts for supporting a light source base, a lens and a sensor base, respectively.An array of light emitting elements is arranged as a light source on the light source base, and da CCD image sensor is arranged on the sensor base. An end of the lens is positioned at the document reading zone and the other end of the lens is positioned adjacent the sensor base.

Abstract: An image reader/recorder assembly unit for use in a facsimile system is provided with an image reader containing a number of sensor elements aligned in an image scanning direction and an image recorder containing a number of recording elements. The image reader and the image recorder are of a specific length shorter than the full scanning width. Image data is read and recorded as the image reader and the image recorder move in the image scanning direction, both of these units being mounted on independent carriages. In addition, the edges of adjacent image data are recorded twice at a lower density to achieve a predetermined density through two recording operations despite superimposition. This prevents degradation of the recorded image data quality.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus in which a read head for reading information to be transmitted from a paper surface and a record head for recording received information on a paper surface are constructed integral with each other.

Abstract: A facsimile equipment for reading time information necessary for transmission, reception and control which is entered in the form of time marks according to a predetermined format, by a reading unit of the facsimile equipment, and which sets the time by feeding the read time information to a clock device.

Abstract: A facsimile machine including an automatic dialer requiring no dial operation when calling up a specific addressee particularly an addressee requiring frequent communication, allows simplified transmission of the addressee's dial signal to the service line by using "one-touch" key operation, thus achieving an extremely simplified procedure for transmitting written messages therethrough. The automatic dialer is provided with a memory storing dial data of such a specific addressee requiring frequent communications. In response to the operation of a specific instruction key on the operation panel, the automatic dialer reads dial data from memory before delivery to the dial pulse generator circuit, which then outputs the dial pulses to the service line to activate transmission of a message through a telecopier such as a facsimile.

Abstract: A color image reproduction device such as a color copier includes a single light source surrounded by a cylindrical unistructural filter with red, green and blue sections such that red, green and blue beams of light are sequentially transmitted to a colored document as the filter is rotated around the source. Reflected color beams are sequentially made incident on a photosensitive film coated with yellow, magenta and cyanic ink particles which harden by exposure to red, green and blue beams of light, respectively, such that a colored image can be formed by a single scan of the document.
