Abstract
A hand scanning type image input and output device includes a main body adapted to be moved by hand to scan an object, such as a manuscript, and having an enclosed readout head adapted to read out the information on a desired portion of the object via an opening formed on the surface of the main body which is tightly contacted with the object, a movable roll reciprocably supported on the surface of the main body in which the read-out opening is formed, and a travel guide section rotatably mounted to the main body. A mounting reference surface for the object is formed on the perimeter of the read-out opening and the movable roll is rotated in synchronism with a detecting unit adpated to detect the distance traversed by the main body.
Claims24
A hand scanner type image input/output device comprising
- a main body adapted to be moved on and scan an object and having enclosed therein a read-out scanning section adapted to read out and scan the information recorded on the desired portion of said object, said information being entered via a read-out opening formed in a surface facing to said object, said main body including a mounting reference surface with respect to said object on the perimeter of said read-out opening,
- a movable roll reciprocably supported on the surface in which said read-out opening is formed, said movable roll being rotated in synchronism with means adapted for detecting the amount of movement of said main body, and
- a travel guide section rotatably mounted to said main body.
The hand scanner type image input/output device according to claim, 11 wherein said gear is allowed to be turned only in the direction of taking up the recording tape provided in said main body.
A hand scanner type image input/output device comprising
- a main body adapted to be moved on and scan an object and having enclosed therein a scanning/read-out section adapted to scan and read-out the information recorded on a desired portion of said object, said information being entered via a read-out opening formed in a surface facing said object, said main body including a mounting reference plane with respect to said object on the perimeter of said read-out opening,
- a movable roll reciprocably supported on the surface in which said read-out opening is formed, said movable roll being rotated in synchronism with means for detecting the amount of movement of said main body,
- means for reciprocating a recording head with respect to said main body, said recording head being made to emerge or be receded via an opening provided on the surface of said main body in which said read-out opening is formed,
- a lid provided on said main body and adapted for closing an opening of a tape housing section accommodating a recording tape provided in said main body,
- means for biasing said recording head in, a receding direction,
- means for locking said recording head projected via said opening in a projected position, and
- unlocking means for releasing the locking of said locking means in response to a lid opening operation.
A head scanner type image input/output device comprising
- a main body adapted to be moved on and scan an object and having enclosed therein a scanning/read-out section adapted to scan and read-out the information recorded on a desired portion of said object, said information being entered via a read-out opening formed on a surface facing said object, said main body including a mounting reference plane with respect to said object on the perimeter of said read-out opening,
- a movable roll reciprocably supported on the surface on which said read-out opening is formed, said movable roll being rotated in synchronism with means for detecting the amount of movement of said main body,
- means for reciprocating a recording head with respect to said main body, said recording head being made to emerge from or be receded via an opening provided on the surface of said main body in which said read-out opening is formed,
- means for biasing said reciprocating means in a receding direction,
- tape take-up means for taking up a recording tape provided in said main body, and
- means for rotating said tape take-up means at the time of receding said reciprocating means in a direction of taking up said recording tape provided in said main body.
