  • Patent number: 6169562
    Abstract: An image exposure apparatus which can prevent occurrence of color displacement at a low cost is structured to comprise at least three kinds of light sources each of which emits a light of a different wavelength, deflecting device which deflects at least three kinds of emitted light emitted by the light sources in a predetermined scanning direction, a scanning lens which is disposed so that the at least three kinds of emitted light deflected by the deflecting device can be transmitted therethrough and which allows each chromatic aberration of two kinds of emitted light from among the at least three kinds of emitted light to have substantially the same characteristics, clock generating device for generating a scanning clock for the two kinds of emitted light and a scanning clock for emitted light other than the two kinds of emitted light, each frequency of the scanning clocks being determined in advance so that the two kinds of emitted light and the emitted light other than the two kinds of emitted light have s

  • Patent number: 6022653
    Abstract: In a color image recording system, a color image is recorded on a photosensitive material by causing red, green and blue light beams modulated according to a color image signal to scan the photosensitive material one after another in the order of the red, green and blue light beams, respectively. A photodetector detects only the red light beam, and the red, green and blue light beams are caused to start recording the colorings at respective predetermined times T1, T2 and T3 (T1<T2<T3) after the photodetector detects the red light beam.

  • Patent number: 5946078
    Abstract: According to the improved apparatus for recording images using exposing optics equipped with a dust excluding mechanism which prevents optical paths of light beams from being blocked by dust particles, the dust excluding mechanism has a fan and at least two filters, and at least one of the filters which is provided upstream of an air stream generated by the fan is fitted to be detachable. With the improved image recording apparatus of the invention, not only during scanning exposure, in a standby mode and in a power OFF mode but also during filter replacements, one can prevent the entrance of the dust particles into the duct, thereby ensuring that the light beams issuing from the exposing optics during scanning exposure will not have any part of their paths blocked by the dust particles. As a result, one can record defect-free images of high quality that do not have any density unevenness occurring in the form of streaks due to the dust particles.

  • Patent number: 5920680
    Abstract: The improved image reading and reproducing apparatus comprising a scanner which reads an image on an original photoelectrically, an image processor which performs specified image processing on image data output from the scanner and a printer which writes the image data output from the image processor into a memory, reads the recording image data sequentially from the memory and records an image on an auxiliary scanned recording material in accordance with the recording image data, satisfies the following relation (1):Tr.gtoreq.(82.5/Vp)+.alpha. (1)where Tr is the time of reading one frame of the original image from the start of image reading with the scanner to the storage of obtained recording image data in the memory in the printer; Vp is the speed of auxiliary scanning of the recording material in the printer; and .alpha. is the overhead time which occurs unavoidably between the recordings of two successive frames of the image in the printer.

  • Patent number: 5905851
    Abstract: In a light beam scanning recording device, a color image is recorded on a recording material by scanning the recording material in a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction with light beams of three different wavelengths modulated according to an image signal. A light source which emits a plurality of light beams which form a predetermined number of beam spots on the recording material arranged in the sub-scanning direction is used as the light source for emitting light beams of each wavelength, whereby recording is effected simultaneously along the predetermined number of main scanning lines.

  • Patent number: 5801813
    Abstract: A photosensitive material is two-dimensionally exposed to light modulated according to an image signal and developed so that the image represented by the image signal is recorded on the photosensitive material as a visible image. The exposed photosensitive material is developed a predetermined time after the exposure in which a latent image regression phenomenon of the photosensitive material is substantially stabilized.

  • Patent number: 4403750
    Abstract: A bail latching and releasing mechanism is disclosed, wherein the mechanism is assembled in either one of support housings symmetrically disposed on diametrically opposite side of a rotor. The mechanism includes a generally L-shaped kick lever slidably disposed in one of the support housings, a dead-point spring, an operation cam and a compression spring. Both ends of the bail arm are coupled to rotary discs each rotatably secured to the respective support housings. One of the rotary discs and the kick lever are spring-biased by the dead-point spring to selectively maintain the bail arm in its fishing line rewinding and releasing position. The compression spring is adapted to urge said kick lever toward the direction away from the operation cam.

  • Patent number: 4289283
    Abstract: A fishing reel leg and saddle both integrally connected to a main reel body for mounting a fishing reel on a fishing rod. The leg disposes a reinforcing member along its central axis. The reinforcing member is formed by preimpregnation of carbon fibers and/or glass fibers, both fibers being directed along the longitudinal direction of the resultant reinforcing member.

  • Patent number: 4288046
    Abstract: A spinning reel having anti-reversal mechanism of simple and improved construction. The anti-reversal mechanism thereby provides a reversal rotation of a rotor because of the engagement between a ratchet gear and a stop pawl. This engagement can be released by a switching means which includes a depressing portion, position setting portion, shaft portion and a thumb lever, these being integrally formed. The switching means can be assembled to the reel body by inserting it from outside of the reel body.

  • Patent number: 4279387
    Abstract: A bail latching and releasing mechanism is disclosed, wherein the mechanism is assembled in either one of the support housings, one being provided with a pivotable bail arm cam and the other being provided with a bail arm lever. The mechanism includes a kick lever, a dead point spring and an operation cam. The kick lever is pivotably secured to one of the support housings and is spring biased by the dead point spring to perform selective pivotal movement in synchronism with the rotation of the bail arm lever or bail arm cam. The pivotal movement is also initiated by the operation cam when the kick lever is brought into alignment with the operation cam during fishing line release position of the bail arm.
