Abstract: The present invention relates to an image scanning apparatus and more particularly to a dual transmissive/reflective image scanning apparatus with protective apparatus. The present invention includes a housing, an original cover, a tray of a first type, and a tray of a second type. The housing provides a slot, within which the tray of the first type or the tray of the second type may be selectively inserted. The tray of the first type is inserted within the slot for reflective scanning, while on the other hand, the tray of the second type is selectively inserted within the slot for transmissive scanning. In addition, a first device is provided within the housing, and the tray of the first type has a second device for selectively coupling with the first device. The original cover has a third device for selectively coupling with the first device. The original cover is not allowed to open as the tray of the second type is inserted within the slot, whereas the original cover is allowed to open as the tray of the first type is inserted within the slot. As the original cover is open, the tray of the first type is not allowed to be withdrawn from the slot. However, as the original cover is closed, the tray of the first type or the tray of the second type is allowed to be withdrawn from the slot.

Abstract: A light gathering apparatus of a scanner is disclosed. A light source module of the light gathering apparatus is separated from a scanning module and is disposed on the main body of the scanner chassis, and a light gathering device and a light guiding device are used to guide light onto a scanning line of an original document. Because the light source module is separated from the scanning module, it is beneficial for miniaturization design of the scanner, and the scanner is easy to be cooled down, thereby decreasing noise and distortion resulted from a charged coupled device (CCD), reflection mirrors, or the main body of the scanning module being heated.

Abstract: An optical image scanning device includes a casing having a document supporting plate and a top cover. The top cover has an underside surface coated with a fluorescent material thereon. An optic module includes a light source for projecting an exciting light onto the fluorescent layer whereby the fluorescent material is excited by the exciting light to emit a scanning light. The scanning light transmits through a light-transmittable document and projects an image of the document onto reflective mirrors for guiding the scanning light through a focusing lens. The focusing lens focuses the light onto a image sensing device. A reflective type light source is selectively arranged in the optic module for selectively projecting a light onto a document formed on a non-transmissive medium that is positioned on the document supporting plate.

Abstract: A light diverting channel for use in a scanner. The channel is incorporated into the cover of a flat bed scanner and transmits light from the lamps positioned longitudinally along the scanner, up through the side of the channel, and through a central region or sheet of the channel, and then down through objects to be scanned. The light diverting channel thereby more efficiently uses the light generated by the lamps and more evenly disburses the light over and through the object to be scanned.

At scanning a transparent document, the rotatable reflection mirror is rotated to a second reflection position. A light beam from a second light source projects to the transparent document. The image of the transparent document is reflected by the rotatable reflection mirror and the fixed transparent optical path mirrors, and then received by the image sensing module through the second focusing lens.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent image reading apparatus that realizes miniaturization and reduces a total reading time at the time of reading a transparent original and, in addition, improves operability. In order to attain this object, since the image reading apparatus has a configuration in which a light source driving circuit section is disposed to overlap in the upward direction separating from an original mounting surface of a surface light emitting section, an area occupied by the light source driving circuit section and the surface light emitting section on a horizontal surface becomes small and miniaturization can be realized. In addition, since the light source driving circuit section and the surface light emitting section can be disposed in a position close to a hinge section altogether, the center of gravity of an FAU is moved to the hinge section side, and rotatability of the hinge section becomes easy and is improved. Since an image reading unit has its hinge section side as an HP, a time taken by the image reading unit for moving from the HP to below the surface light emitting section, where a transparent original is disposed at the time of starting to read the transparent original, can be reduced.

Abstract translation: 本发明的目的是提供一种在读取透明原稿时实现小型化并减少总读取时间的优异图像读取装置，并且还提高可操作性。 为了实现该目的，由于图像读取装置具有其中光源驱动电路部分被布置为在与表面发光部分的原始安装表面分离的向上方向上重叠的构造，所以由光占据的区域 源极驱动电路部和水平面上的面发光部变小，能够实现小型化。 此外，由于光源驱动电路部分和表面发光部分可以一起设置在靠近铰链部分的位置，所以FAU的重心被移动到铰链部分侧，铰链部分的可旋转性 变得容易和改进。 由于图像读取单元具有其铰链部分侧作为HP，所以图像读取单元从HP移动到表面发光部下方所花费的时间，在开始读取透明度时，设置透明原稿 原来可以减少。
