Abstract: A feeding apparatus includes a pickup roller arranged to pick and feed a medium downstream along a conveying path, a separating roller arranged downstream to the pickup roller for advancing the medium downstream, a brake roller arranged opposite to the separating roller, and a pressing structure arranged opposite to the pickup roller and operable to swing toward or away from the pickup roller according to the rotating direction of the brake roller. When the brake roller rotates for feeding mediums downstream, the pressing structure moves toward the pickup roller and applies a normal force required for picking the medium. But when the brake roller stops rotating downstream because multiple mediums are fed between the brake roller and the separating roller, the pressing structure moves away from the pickup roller and stops applying normal force, so as to control the medium-picking process.

Abstract: A scanning device includes a scanning platform, a feed roller mounted above the scanning platform and rotatable to bring a sheet-like medium across the scanning platform, first and second elastic elements located under two ends of the scanning platform to press the scanning platform against the feed roller. One end of the scanning device near to the first elastic element is defined as a datum end for guiding the mediums to enter the scanning device. The first elastic element acts a greater force on the scanning platform than the second elastic element, or the distance from the first elastic element to the datum end is smaller than that from the second elastic element to the other end of the scanning device and the force from the first elastic element is equal to that from the second elastic element, so as to make the medium levelly transmitted during being scanned.

Abstract: A belt drive mechanism with belt tensioner has a driving pulley pivoted to a fixing frame, a driven pulley pivoted to the fixing frame, with a belt wrapping thereon, and a tensioner which has a wheel pivoted to a mounting block of the fixing frame and rests against the running belt, and a cap rotatably covered to a top of the wheel. The cap has a through hole engaged with the mounting block and is capable of moving along a direction substantially perpendicular to a running direction of the belt at a contact position with the wheel. An elastic element is mounted between the mounting block and an inner side of the through hole and compressed by the moved cap to store an elastic force which releases to bring the wheel to press the running belt away from the mounting block for compensating a tensile force of the running belt.
