Abstract
A method and apparatus for photographically copying a light radiating image without the aid of an optical system by placing a photosensitive media directly on the image.
Claims16
An apparatus for copying an image on an image display means, comprising:
- a photosensitive media;
- a container for said photosensitive media adapted to hold said photosensitive media adjacent to said image display means;
- an exposure opening in said container through which said photosensitive media may be exposed;
- an opaque cover for said photosensitive media dimensioned to render said exposure opening light impervious;
- means to permit at least partial removal of said opaque cover from said exposure opening while said photosensitive media is held adjacent to said image display means by said container, including an edge opening in said container for passing said opaque cover therethrough and between said exposure opening and said photosensitive media;
- stop means on said opaque cover for preventing the complete removal of said opaque cover from said container through said edge opening;
- and
- a developer applicator affixed to said opaque cover for applying developer to said photosensitive media.

An apparatus for copying an image on an image display means, comprising:
- a photosensitive media;
- a container for said photosensitive media adapted to hold said photosensitive media adjacent to said image display means;
- an exposure opening in said container through which said photosensitive media may be exposed;
- an opaque cover for said photosensitive media dimensioned to render said exposure opening light impervious, including an exposure slot for exposing said photosensitive media as said exposure slot is passed thereover;
- a first opaque section;
- a second opaque section separated by said exposure slot from said first opaque section;
- said first and second opaque sections dimensioned to cover said photosensitive media except in the area of said exposure slot while said exposure slot is moved from one end of said photosensitive media to the other;
- the width of said exposure slot is dimensioned relative to the light sensitivity of said photosensitive media whereby proper exposure time of said photosensitive media is provided by the action of manually pulling said first opaque section from said container;
- and
- means to permit at least partial removal of said opaque cover from said exposure opening while said photosensitive media is held adjacent to said image display means by said container.

A method for creating a copy of a display, including the steps of:
- placing a photosensitive media against said display;
- holding said photosensitive media in position with an adhesive means;
- exposing said photosensitive media to said display for a predetermined period of time;
- and
- developing the exposed image on said photosensitive media, by sliding an opaque cover having an exposure slot therein between said photosensitive media and said display.
