RECORDING APPARATUS AND MEDIUM SUPPORTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477275 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS AND MEDIUM SUPPORTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The recording apparatus described in the abstract includes a support unit, a recording unit, and a projection unit. The projection unit projects an image onto the support surface by blocking a part of the light emitted by the irradiation unit with a light blocking portion.
- Support unit with a support surface for holding a medium
- Recording unit for recording on the medium
- Projection unit with an irradiation unit and a light blocking portion
- Light blocking portion includes at least one light blocking region
- Projection of a reference position image onto the support surface
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Photography studios
- Art studios
- Educational settings for demonstrations
Problems Solved
- Accurate positioning of the medium for recording
- Improved visualization of the reference position
- Enhanced projection quality
Benefits
- Precise recording on the medium
- Easy alignment of the medium
- Clear projection of reference position
Potential Commercial Applications
- Recording equipment manufacturing
- Media production companies
- Educational technology providers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of projectors in combination with recording devices, but the specific configuration described in this patent application may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the light blocking portion ensure accurate projection onto the support surface?
The light blocking portion is designed to block a specific part of the light emitted by the irradiation unit, allowing for precise projection of the reference position image onto the support surface.
What materials are used in the construction of the projection unit to achieve the desired light blocking effect?
The materials used in the light blocking portion of the projection unit are not specified in the abstract.
Original Abstract Submitted
A recording apparatus includes a support unit including a support surface configured to support a medium, a recording unit configured to perform recording on the medium supported by the support unit, and a projection unit configured to project an image onto the support surface. The projection unit includes an irradiation unit configured to irradiate the support surface with light, and a light blocking portion configured to block a part of the light emitted from the irradiation unit. The light blocking portion includes at least one light blocking region configured to block the part of the light emitted from the irradiation unit. The projection unit is configured to project a reference position image indicating a reference position of the medium supported by the support surface onto the support surface by blocking the part of the light emitted by the irradiation unit with the at least one light blocking region.
