Abstract:
An electrostatic photographic copying apparatus comprising a frame member having a transparent plate on which to place an original to be copied, a rotatable photosensitive drum having an electrostatic photographic material on its periphery, an optical system for projecting an image of the original onto the surface of the photographic material, an image-forming zone disposed exteriorly of, and alongside, the periphery of said photosensitive drum for forming on said sensitive material an electrostatic latent image corresponding to the image of the original or a developed image corresponding to the latent image, a transfer zone for transferring said image to a transfer paper, and a transfer paper forwarding system for feeding the transfer paper on which the image has been transferred to a discharge end through a desired treating zone.
Abstract:
A process for the diazo-type multicolor reproduction which comprises (A) exposing to light a diazo-type photosensitive material having a photosensitive layer containing at least one diazonium salt (c) and a coupler (b) having a substantially lower rate of coupling with the diazonium salt (c) than that of resorcin, said coupler being present in the photosensitive material in an amount of not greater than 1 mole per mole of said diazonium salt (c), and (B) heating a layer of at least one thermovolatile or thermosublimative coupler (a) disposed in a face-to-face contact with said photosensitive material at a predetermined portion, said steps being carried out coincidentally or in the order of (A) to (B) or (B) to (A), and then developing the exposed photosensitivematerial. photosensitive material.
Abstract:
An apparatus for separating superimposed flexible sheet materials which comprises a first segment roller consisting of divided segments, a second segment roller rotatable independently of said first segment roller and adapted to nip the superimposed sheet materials together with said first segment roller, said first segment roller rotating at a peripheral speed faster than that of the second segment roller, and a separating member secured rotatably between the segments of said first segment roller and including an engaging portion which engages with the forward ends of the superimposed sheet materials and is moved along the periphery of said first segment roller by the proceeding of the engaged sheet materials, whereby one sheet material of the engaged sheet materials which is in contact with the second segment roller is separated from the other sheet material in contact with the first segment roller as a result of the disengagement of the forward end of said one sheet material from the engaging portion by the difference in peripheral speed between said segment rollers. The separating apparatus is used especially with a copying machine.
Abstract:
An electrostatic copying machine including apparatus for transporting single sheet original documents or books past an exposure station. All originals are transported and supported by a set of drive rollers along a horizontal path at the top of the machine. To transport single sheet originals a set of opposing idler rollers, each extending adjacent to the central portion of a drive roller and biased downward toward that roller, cooperates with the drive rollers. Slightly thicker materials, such as pamphlets, are placed on a rigid transparent platform having a protective light-blocking cover sheet and are driven between the drive rollers and a set of narrow idler rollers which are located adjacent to both ends of the first idler rollers and which contact the edges of the platform. For books and other still thicker originals the top panel of the machine, to which the first idler rollers are attached, is removed so that those rollers do not interfere with the transporting of the book; the book is placed on the rigid carrier as before, with the narrow edge rollers cooperating as before to transport the carrier.
Abstract:
A process for diazo-type multicolor reproduction according to which it is possible to obtain multi-colored copies in which portions corresponding to predetermined portions of an original area colored selectively in different hues without substantial mingling of colors, by conducting the heat transfer at relatively low temperatures (for instance, at 60* - 80*C.), and a color former to be used in such process, which comprises a thermosublimative coupler and a thermosublimative, organic, solid transfer promotor having no coupling property in itself.

Abstract:
A copying machine comprising an original detecting member upstream of an original-exposing section and a sensitive paper detecting member upstream of a sensitive paper-exposiing section in order to cause both an original and sensitive paper to reach the exposing sections synchronously. The machine also includes a mechanism whereby either the original or the sensitive paper which reaches the detecting member earlier is stopped there temporarily, and when the other late-coming original or sensitive paper has reached the detecting member, the advance of the earlier-reaching original or sensitive paper is resumed.
Abstract:
Phenol (sulfo)phthalein derivatives sulfonated at the 5- and/or 5''-position, methods of preparation thereof, and the use of the derivatives as a sensitizing agent for photoconductive materials in the art of electrophotography.
Abstract:
A copying machine specially adapted to cause both an original and a sensitive paper to reach their respective exposing sections synchronously. The machine then cuts the sensitive paper to the same length as the original. The machine includes first and second original detecting members respectively located immediately upstream of, and at an upstream end of, the original exposing section alongside a passageway for transferring the original, a synchronously transferring roller immediately upstream of said first original detecting member, and a sensitive paper detecting member provided immediately upstream of a sensitive paper exposing section alongside a passageway for transferring the sensitive paper. The supply of sensitive paper is started when the leading edge of the original has reached the second original detecting member and the sensitive paper is cut when the rear edge of the original passes the first original detecting member. The synchronously transferring roller stops rotating when the leading edge of the original has reached the first original detecting member and resumes rotating when the leading edge of the sensitive paper has reached the sensitive paper detecting member.
