MEDIA HOLDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250447 titled 'MEDIA HOLDERS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus that includes a carriage, a scan beam, a mechanism to move the scan beam vertically, and a media holder. The media holder has a central portion to hold media, a first end couplable to a platen, and a second end couplable to the scan beam.

  • The apparatus is designed to move laterally in a scanning direction over a platen.
  • The scan beam supports the carriage over the platen.
  • The mechanism allows for vertical movement of the scan beam.
  • The media holder holds media on the platen.
  • The first end of the media holder can be attached to the platen at a specific position.
  • The second end of the media holder can be attached to the scan beam, allowing it to move vertically along with the scan beam.

Potential Applications

  • Scanning devices
  • Printing devices
  • Photocopying machines

Problems Solved

  • Provides a stable and adjustable platform for scanning or printing media.
  • Allows for precise vertical movement of the media holder along with the scan beam.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy and precision in scanning or printing.
  • Easy adjustment of the media holder position.
  • Enhanced stability and support for the carriage during scanning or printing.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a carriage to move laterally in a scanning direction over a platen, a scan beam to support the carriage over the platen, a mechanism to move the scan beam vertically, and a media holder.
