Abstract: A document scanner carriage (20) housing contains a pair of spaced mirrors (34,36) whose spacing and parallelism is precisely maintained by floating metal spacer plates (60,62) which are not affixed to the housing. Spaced springs (35) urge one of the mirrors (34,36) into engagement with the spacer plates (60,62), the other mirror(34,36) being referenced to the molded plastic housing (50). The parallel facing image plane sides of the mirrors (34,36) are substantially unobstructed by the spacer plates (60,62) which contact them thus allowing the scanner (10) to efficiently use a substantial proportion of the image planes of the mirrors (34,36) and occupy a comparatively small footprint. The floating spacer plates (60,62) and mirrors (34,36) are cushioned against shock and vibration by compressed elastomeric pads (80,81,82,83) on the underside of the housing cover (30) which allows the spacing and parallelism of the mirrors (34,36) to be maintained without direct affixation of the mirrors (34,36) or spacer plates (60,62) to the housing (50).

Abstract: A scanner (10) includes a carriage unit (20) having a cover (30) with an elongated slot (26) and groove (25) for helping to define a document illumination area on a document (16) to be scanned. A flexible reflector (24) is disposed within the groove for reflecting non uniform light in a substantially uniform manner. A print screen (90) disposed on the reflector (24) controls the dispersion of light from the reflector and includes an elongated narrow reflective center portion (96) sandwiched between a pair of elongated non reflective center portions (92,94) and a pair of spaced apart reflective end portions (93,98).

Abstract: In a system for scanning a document (43), a light source (22) illuminates the document; an imager (24, 41, 41', 61, 62) receives light from the document and directs it toward a detector array (25) which produces a corresponding array of electrical signals. The imager has several optical properties that are useful either individually or in combination. The imager is telecentric and thereby ensures that image size and magnification are insensitive to object displacement along the optical axis (46, 46') and image brightness is uniform independent of object off-axis distance. An aspheric element (33) within the imager balances focus variation (82-81-83) within the depth of field with spherical aberration and thereby provide nearly uniform image resolution. A diffraction pattern (33'), carried by the imager, corrects for spectral dispersion which occurs when light passes (63) from air into a refractive material (61, 62). An imager with a reflecting surface (32, 33) provides a system that is subject to little or no chromatic aberration. A solid imager (61, 62) with multiple internal reflecting surfaces (32, 33, 42) in optical series (32-33-32-42), configured to include the previously mentioned optical properties, also provides for highly stable alignment of reflecting surfaces.
