Abstract: An image recording device in which an image is exposed onto a photosensitive material, and an image forming solvent is applied thereto, and an image receiving material is superposed thereon, and then heat development transfer is carried out so as to obtain an image on the image receiving material, comprising: a fixed stage which holds the photosensitive material; an application unit which applies the image forming solvent to the photosensitive material; a superposing unit which superposes the image receiving material on the photosensitive material; a connecting tool which connects the application unit and the superposing unit such that the units are moved integrally with one of the units in front of the other; and a squeeze roller which is disposed between the application unit and the superposing unit and is moved in accordance with the integral movement thereof, wherein as the application unit and the superposing unit are moved such that the application unit is positioned in front of the superposing unit, th

Abstract: A roller including a cylindrical member and an engagement member, wherein the engagement member has plural fitting portions pairs each having two opposed fitting portions. The cylindrical member and the engagement member will be connected, while leaving at least one of the plural fitting portion pairs unused, by fitting end portions of the cylindrical member to at least one of the fitting portion pairs by cutting and bending the end portions. The roller may be a photoconductive drum or a developing roller for use in an image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image processing system comprises a camera in which control information is recorded, as well as image information, and a reproducing apparatus that is controlled by the control information to determine the arrangement of an array of reproduced image frames on the same reproducing medium.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for manufacturing a seamless printing roll. A liquid photosensitive resin is applied to the space between a process cylinder and a rigid plate which is transparent to actinic light. Relative movement is provided between the cylinder and the plate perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, while the cylinder is rotated in synchronization with the relative movement of the rigid plate to evenly spread the photosensitive resin. The photosensitive resin is simultaneously exposed in the space between the cylinder and rigid plate.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a device for adjusting an original to be copied, in particular an original which is repeatedly conveyed through the exposure station of a photocopying machine, including a transport mechanism with a deviatable transport band arrangement adapted to transport said original at a variable speed, and when said original is to be copied a number of times, in a closed path, further including a device for lengthening the path on one side, two switches positioned transversely and normal to the direction of flow and adapted to be actuated by the original whereby a switching circuit to a servomotor is closed when the leading edge of the original deviates from a correct position, said servomotor being connected to a correcting element adapted to change the length of the path of the original on one side of said transport band arrangement, the improvement comprising generator means adapted to put out a first signal proportional to the transport speed of said original, said servomo

Abstract: A photocopying machine is provided with a repeat mechanism. After the original material to be copied has left the exposure station a feed mechanism is provided by optionally returning the original material to the exposure station for making of a second copy. Two return mechanism paths are provided for originals of different length.

Abstract: Copying apparatus of the type in which an original after being passed through a copying path with a copy sheet can be either delivered away or passed back through a return path into the copying path for making another copy is provided with a simple and reliable system for adjustably positioning a side edge of the original, even if it is fragile, relative to a side edge of the copy sheet so that the position of the images on multiple copies will not vary from copy to copy.

Abstract: A photographic recording machine for sequentially exposing images onto a photosensitive web, including an optical system for forming an image designator mark on the photosensitive web in a predetermined position in relation to each image. The optical system includes a light source and a light transmitting pipe having an unfocused lens portion on the end thereof closest the web, and is pivotally mounted for movement adjacent to and removed from the web. Movement of the optical system is controlled by operating the access means of the recording machine when the web is inserted or removed from the machine.

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically copying information contained on sheets of translucent material such as microfilm cards when such master sheet is loaded into the apparatus and dials on the control panel are set to the desired number of copies. The device includes subsystems for unwinding, exposing, cutting and developing a web of sensitized copy material on a continuous flow basis. A control system causes the device to wrap the translucent master sheet around a transparent printing cylinder during exposure and to cut the web of copy material in the proper relationship to the exposed images. The transparent printing cylinder has an outside circumference which is approximately equal to the distance between the locations at which the web of copy material is cut.

Abstract: A heat transfer assembly is provided having heat transfer elements which contact end portions of a pressure roller of a fuser assembly. A heat transfer fluid is caused to pass over the elements in response to a signal to remove heat therefrom thereby cooling such portions of the pressure roller in contact with the elements.
