IMAGE READING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305726 titled 'IMAGE READING DEVICE
The patent application describes an image reading device that includes a transporting unit, an image reader, and a rotary body with an elastic protrusion towards the image reader.
- The transporting unit moves a recording medium along a transport path.
- The image reader is positioned on one side of the transport path and reads images on the recording medium.
- The rotary body, located on the opposite side of the image reader, includes an elastic body that extends towards the image reader.
Potential Applications: - Document scanning devices - Photocopiers - Printers
Problems Solved: - Efficient image reading process - Reduced wear on recording medium - Improved image quality
Benefits: - Enhanced image reading accuracy - Increased device durability - Streamlined document processing
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Reading Devices for Enhanced Document Processing This technology can be utilized in office equipment, such as scanners and printers, to improve image reading efficiency and quality, leading to increased productivity and cost savings in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the elastic body of the rotary body contribute to the image reading process?
The elastic body helps maintain consistent pressure on the recording medium, ensuring accurate image reading by the device.
2. What advantages does the positioning of the image reader and rotary body offer in terms of device functionality?
Placing the image reader and rotary body on opposite sides of the transport path allows for efficient image capture without interference.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image reading device includes a transporting unit that transports a recording medium along a transport path; an image reader that is disposed on one side of the transport path and that reads an image formed on the recording medium that is transported through the transport path; and a rotary body that is rotatably provided, that is disposed on a side opposite to a side where the image reader is set with the transport path being interposed between the rotary body and the image reader, and that includes an elastic body that protrudes toward the image reader.
