Abstract
Automatic reproducing apparatus frame assembly for mounting individual reproducing apparatus components thereto including a lower frame member having a plurality of mounting elements attached thereto for mounting at least one reproducing apparatus component thereto, the mounting elements being spaced from each other and arranged in parallel fashion in one direction from one side of the frame member to the opposite side of the frame member whereby components may be mounted to the frame member at one of the alternate mounting elements of the plurality of mounting elements to provide the assembly of automatic reproducing machines having one of a plurality of process widths corresponding to the distance from one side of the frame member to one of the alternate mounting elements. Preferably the lower frame member is a plastic molded frame and the plurality of mounting elements are integrally molded therein. The apparatus may include a rear mounting frame comprising a boot-like cover slidably engageable with the lower frame member, thereby providing a variable dimension frame assembly with common frames front and rear and the capability of using common drive modules and platen drive modules for copiers having different process widths.
