  • Patent number: 4492138
    Abstract: An apparatus for delivering web material or the like from rolls comprises a rotatable holder that holds a plurality of web supply rolls and for each roll is provided with a separate support member for supporting the free end of a portion of the web unwound from the roll. The roll holder is movable between a plurality of positions in each of which one of the supply rolls is in an active position at a location where a portion of its web can be unwound and transported over a cutting edge provided on the related support member, and where a cutting element separate from the holder can be operated to cut off a sheet of required length from the unwound material of the positioned supply roll by cooperation with the related cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 4315687
    Abstract: In an apparatus for copying sheetlike originals, wherein a transport system feeds originals from a positioning surface onto an exposure plate and from the latter after exposure to a receiving tray, the positioning surface presents at least two distinct areas upon each of which an original can be laid ready to be fed in for copying and each area is bordered by a lateral arrest so that plural originals laid ready in the areas and against the arrests will be fed together to exact positions on the exposure plate for copying on one sheet of receiving material in one copying run of the apparatus. A system of open-front trays for piles of originals, each aligned with one of the positioning surface areas, facilitates the laying of originals in ready position. A control system responds to sensed presence of a complete set of originals in ready position to start a run.

  • Patent number: 4184765
    Abstract: A device for covering the exposure plate of a copying apparatus includes a belt driven at intervals for transporting sheetlike originals from a ready position on the device to a copying position in which an original is covered and pressed on the plate by the belt, and the belt is so mounted and positioned that the same device serves for covering and pressing books and other objects of irregular dimensions placed on the plate for copying. A control circuit is provided which coordinates operations of the belt drive with the starting of operation of the copying apparatus and the presence of a sheetlike original in ready position.

  • Patent number: 4179112
    Abstract: An apparatus for conveying a sheetlike original to be copied through the exposure section of a copying machine and back again when multiple copies are desired includes an original return means having at least two sets original sheet gripping and conveying elements which have been mounted in a common supporting element which can be displaced cyclically to a number of positions, whereby, in each position of the supporting element and with the return means activated, one set occupies a position located in the path of movement of an original leaving the exposure section, and another set occupies a second position located in the path of movement joining the entry to the exposure section.
