An image recording apparatus wherein a photo-sensitive material and an image-receiving material are affixed to each other, an image recorded on the photo-sensitive material is transferred to the image-receiving layer, both materials are separated, and the photo-sensitive material is conveyed to a disposal tray is provided with a pair of rollers for forming a bead line along the direction of conveyance of the photo-sensitive material while the photo-sensitive material is being held and conveyed prior to reaching the disposal tray. Accordingly, the bead line is formed on the photo-sensitive material before it reaches the disposal tray, thereby increasing its rigidity in the direction of conveyance.

Image recording apparatus

A picture recording apparatus such as may be used with a rolled sheet material in which marks on finished pictures due to pressure exerted on the recording material by conveying rollers when the apparatus is in the stopped state are eliminated. When picture recording operations are to be carried out, multiple pairs of conveying rollers are engaged with one another to convey the recording material through various processing stations. When picture recording operations are halted, such as when the apparatus is turned off, at least one of the conveying rollers which would cause marking of finished pictures are disengaged from one another.

Picture recording apparatus

An image recording device applies light including image information from an original through a focusing optical system to a photosensitive member to record the image information on the photosensitive member. A filter driving mechanism in the image recording device includes at least two filter groups each including a plurality of equally spaced filters extending in a main scanning direction, the filter groups being disposed in a plurality of stages between the focusing optical system and the photosensitive member, and moving mechanisms for moving the filter groups back and forth in a direction substantially normal to the main scanning direction.

Filter driving mechanism for image recording device

An image recording device for forming an image on an image receptive member includes a casing for storing a stack of image receptive sheets, a sheet feed roller for delivering one image receptive member at a time from the casing, a movable plate disposed in the casing and displaceable toward the sheet feed roller as the number of the image receptive members in the casing is reduced, and a detector mechanism for detecting a predetermined amount of displacement of the movable plate. An image recorded on a photosensitive member is transferred to the image receptive member delivered by the sheet feed roller.

Sheet feeding mechanism for an image recording device

An image recording apparatus in which an image is initially recorded on a flexible photosensitive material and is then pressure transferred to an image-receiving material. The drives for the image recording and the pressure transferring are separated so as to reduce the mechanical effect on the imaging either by putting the imaging in a separate unit or by providing separate drives. The supply of photosensitive material from a roll is deflected to a discard bin when the cut length is less than a recording minimum but all action is stopped if the cut length is less than a conveyable minimum. The photosensitive material and the image-receiving material are separated by a pawl controllably swinging into the path of the two material after the pressure transferring operation.
