Abstract
A structure holds a medium itself to be scanned flat on an installation base in a stand type image input device. The installation base of the image recognition apparatus is provided with a mechanism which clips a medium and straightens creases and curls in the medium. the installation base may be provided with adhesion. Alternatively a mechanism for holding down a medium with filaments finer than the resolution of the image input device maybe provided.
Claims31
An image input device which inputs the image of a medium, comprising:
- an input portion which inputs the image of a medium as a digital data,
- a strut mounted with said input portion,
- a support base for supporting said strut, and
- a medium fixing structure on said support base.
An image input device having a medium fixing structure, comprising:
- an input porting which inputs the image of a medium,
- a stand mounted with said input portion,
- an installation base for supporting said stand, and
- a medium clipping mechanism installed on said installation base and which clips said medium.
An image input device which inputs the image of a medium, comprising:
- an input portion which inputs the image of a medium,
- a strut mounted with said input portion,
- a support base on which said medium is placed,
- a positioning mechanism arranged on said support base, said positioning mechanism for positioning said medium and for said medium fixing structure, and
- a medium fixing structure mounted on said support base over said positioning mechanism.
A medium fixing structure for mounting on an image input device, said image input device having a first positioning mechanism for positioning a medium, said medium fixing structure comprising:
- a clip for clipping a medium,
- a bed plate on which a medium is placed, and
- a second positioning mechanism for positioning said medium, said second positioning mechanism disposed in an area in said bed plate facing toward said first positioning mechanism of said image input device.
The medium fixing structure for mounting on an image input device according to 25, wherein:
- said first plate incorporates at least one first magnet, and
- the area where said first hole is formed comprises a ferromagnetic material.
