A copy cassette supplying device supplies a copy cassette which holds a copy to be read, to an image reading device. The copy cassette supplying device includes a cassette holder having a vertical array of steps for holding copy cassettes thereon, the cassette holder being movable in a direction along the array of steps. The copy cassette supplying device also includes a cassette identifying unit for identifying copy cassettes to be carried on the steps, and a cassette supply unit for supplying copy cassettes held on the steps of the cassette holder to the image reading device.

Copy cassette supplying apparatus

A conveyor apparatus used in a copying apparatus of the type using separate diffusion transfer photographic materials, and a photosensitive material in the form of a roller contained in a magazine which is withdrawn and cut to a predetermined length to form a photosensitive sheet. A latent image is created in the photosensitive sheet by exposing it using a light source, and an image-receiving material in the form of a sheet is superposed under the exposed photosensitive sheet. A positive image is formed on the image-receiving material using a diffusion transfer processing. The image-receiving sheet is withdrawn from a cassette wherein a stack of image-receiving sheets are contained. The conveyor apparatus includes feeding rollers disposed in front of the cassette for feeding the image-receiving sheet to a superposition station of the apparatus, an extracting roller for extracting an uppermost image-receiving sheet in the stack and transferring it to a position between the feeding rollers so that it is nipped by the rollers, and a sensor for detecting the image-receiving sheet nipped between the feeding rollers to cause withdrawing rollers to rotate so as to withdraw the photosensitive material from the magazine and transport it to an exposure station where the exposing is performed. If the sensor does not detect the image-receiving sheet within a predetermined time, copying operations are suspended.

Conveyor of a copying apparatus

A photographic recording device such as may be used for recording images displayed on a cathode-ray tube screen on photographic film in which lenses of different focal length can alternatively be disposed in an optical path between the cathode-ray tube screen and the film. First and second lenses are mounted at ends of respective first and second lens arms. The lens arms are attached to a rotatable shaft with a vertical clearance and a predetermined angle therebetween. Rotary power from a motor is conveyed to the rotary drive shaft via a crank mechanism to cause a reciprocal swinging movement of the two lens arms. A snap spring biases the lens arms in either direction selectively. First and second stops determine the extent of the swinging movement to stably hold the lens arms so as to position the optical axes of the respective first and second lenses in alignment with the optical path of the recording device.
