A table start position selecting mechanism for an electrophotographic copying machine of the type with a movable table comprises a unistructural lamp unit with a lamp and a primary mirror for initially reflecting light from a document on the table. A table start position detection switch is attached to a supporting plate which is independent of the lamp unit and adjustable with respect thereto in the direction of motion of the table. A positioning device such as a pin is affixed to the lamp unit at the center of its optical axis such that the switch-supporting plate can be easily and accurately positioned with respect to the lamp unit in the direction of motion of the table.

Table start position selecting mechanism for electrophotographic copying

This invention relates to an electrophotographic copying machine of a type having a table which moves along a given direction and a source unit of a unitized structure which includes a lamp and a mirror for initially reflecting the reflected light from a document to be copied such that the position of the source unit can be adjusted at the time of its assembly. The copying machine according to the present invention includes a detector for detecting the starting position of the slidably movable table and this detector is attached to a plate of which the position is adjustable along the direction of motion of the table independently of the source unit whereby the problems associated with fluctuations in the start-up distance traveled by the table before acquiring a steady speed can be eliminated.

Mechanism for adjusting the starting position of sliding table of an

A document table reciprocating device for a copying machine comprising a pair of sprockets which are disposed near to end of the path of a document table, a chain engaged around the pair of sprockets, a roller engaged with the chain, and a plate having an opening in such a shape for enabling the roller to stay in the opening when the roller is positioned adjacent a turning point around the sprocket.
