Abstract: An original reading unit is provided that is superior in the performance of the adjustment of line sensors.
According to the present invention, between a unit base and a transparent original support plate, multiple sensor assemblies are arranged, to form a zigzag pattern, as a first array for reading an original and a second array for reading the original following the first array. Each of the sensor assemblies includes a sensor holder, a line sensor and a focus setup unit. Each of the sensor holders, which serve as fulcrums, are rotatable at a single pivot (a rotation center), along the wall of a unit base that is parallel to the original support plate. When the sensor holders are rotated and positioned at predetermined locations, they are fixed to the wall. The line sensors 51 are held, relative to the sensor holders, in the main scanning direction and in the sub-scanning direction, and are moved in an approaching or separating direction in which the line sensors approach or are separated from the wall and the original support plate. The focus setup units, each of which includes coil springs and spacers, move the line sensors 51 in the approaching or separating direction, and position the line sensors 51 at locations whereat focuses are adjusted.

Abstract: A mount for an optical device, such as a linear CCD array, is disclosed. The array is mounted on a base which is supported on a frame for adjustment relative thereto. The base is slidably movable on the frame for adjustment of the array in in-track and cross-track directions. The base is movable toward and away from the frame to provide a focus adjustment of the array. In order to provide a mount which can be easily and precisely adjusted to position the array along five degrees of freedom, adjustment screws are positioned such that the position of the array can be changed along one degree of freedom without changing the position of the array along any of the other degrees of freedom.

Abstract: Film gate for a virtual contact scanner includes a base having a precision site adapted to receive a solid-state scanner assembly so as to position the sensor photosites at a precise spacing from the film image plane. A separate circuit board carrying control circuits for the scanner assembly is clamped over the scanner with contact terminals aligned with mating input/output terminals of the scanner assembly. Preferably the scanner terminals are aligned with open slots in the substrate and electrical contact is made between the scanner and circuit board terminals by means of compressible electrically conductive pads. Clamping force is concentrated over the region of electrical contact between the circuit board and scanner terminals to assure good electrical contact.
