Abstract
OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR SCANNING
DURING RECIPROCAL MOTION
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
An optical system for strip scanning of an object in both directions of relative reciprocal motion between the object and the optical system. The object is first scanned in one direction, then the optical axis between object and image is rotated 180° for scanning in the reverse direction.
Properly oriented images are thus projected onto a photo-receptor during both directions of scan.

Description
~1~5~46 BACKGROUND OF THE I~VE~TIO~
. _ .
This invention relates to optical systems and in particular to a strip scanning optical system for scanning an object and progressively projecting a composite image of the same at an image surface, such as a xerographic or other photosensitive surface in a photocopying proces3.
There are three general types of strip scanning arrangements known to the prior art. In one~ the optical system is fixed and the object and photorecptor move relative to the optics, In the second, the object is fixed and the optical system and photoreceptor move at appropriate speeds ( relative to the object. In the third, the object is fixed and i5 scanned by a rotating mirror to relay an image of the object onto a moving photoreceptor.
Typically, these prior art systems have in common the fact that they are capable o projecting a usable image only in one direction o~ scan motionO The return motion, whether it be return o~ the object, the optics, or the mirror, projects an image onto the moving photoreceptor which is disoriented (wrong reading~ and thexefore useless. Accordingly, - the prior art has variously resorted to flyback arrangements to minimize the "lost time" involved in the return motion of the scan mechanism. one system by which to accomplish scanning in both directions of object reciprocation is shown in U~ S.

~L~5399~6 Figure 5 is a view from the left side taken along the line V-V of Figure 1 DESCRIPTION
Referring now to Figures 1 and 2, the optical scanning system of this invention is generally indicated at 2 and extends between an object plane or surface 4 and an lmage plane or surface 6. The optical axis 8 of the system, includes parallel or alternate optical paths 8A and 8B and extends from object plane 4 to image plane 6.
Figure 2 is a front elevation view of the first optical axis 8A and along with Figure 1, shows a first reflector 12 and a second reflector 14, both of which fold : :
the optical axis 8, and a projection lens 10 all disposed in optical al.ignment along the fir~t optical axis 8A between the object plane 4 and the image plane 6. An object 0 on the object plane 4 is imaged at I by means o~ the pro~ection lens 10 on the image plane 6. The object 0 is represenked in Figure 1 .
by the chara~ters FR placed face down on khe object plane 4. .:~:~
, These character~ project along the first optical axis 8A and .)20 . onto the image plane 60 The image characters FR projected ..
along optical axis 8A in Figure 1 are rotated 180 relative to the orientation of the object characters FR.
In a typical photocopying apparatus, the image is pro~ectea onto a photoreceptor, located at the image plane 67 and mo~ing in a continual uni-directional movement as indicated :
:~ - by the arrow 7~
'I In a scanning mode o~ operation, the object o is ~:i : reciprocated on the object plane 4, relative to the optical axis 8A along a path of travel ind.icated by the arrow 5.
During this scanning, only a narrow band o the object is ... .

1053g~6 exposed at any time This continual and progressive exposure results in a composite image of the scanned object. When the object o is moving in the scan direction 5A, its image is projected along first optical axis 8A and laid down on the moving photoreceptor as shown in Figure 1. ~ow if the system geometry were maintained in the r~eturn direction of scan 5B, the image projected along optlcal axis 8A onto the : ~
image plane would be a wrong reading image. It is for this ~.
reason that the prior art typically does not expose the object ..
on the return motion, but instead uses quick return devices to ~ ~ :
minimize the time lost during the return motion.
Second optical axis 8B lS provided for use during the reverse scanning motion in the direction 5B and is shown ~.
in plan view in Figure 1 and in various elevations in Figures ..
. .
3, 4, and 5O Optical axis 8B includes, in optical alignment I between the object plane 4 and the image plane 6, the first reflector 12, a third reflector 16, a proiection lens 20, a fourth reflector.l8, and the second reflector 14. All of . the mirrors 12, 14, 16, and 18 are shown as oriented at 45 relative to.the optical axis so as to fold the same by 90, :.;- These angles are.convenient for illustration of the present , invention, but the concept of this invention is not limited . - ... . . .
to such geometry.
First~reflector 12 and second reflector 14 are mounted for~rotation on axes coincident with the optical.axis 8. In the geometry illustrated, reflectors 12 and 14 are rotatable in:90 arcs :about~these axes 80 between ~uccessive reciprocal s~an movements O ~ In Figure 2, the reflectors 12 and 14 are in pOSitiQn 90 that ob~ect plane 4 and lmage plane 6~are in 30 ~ ~ optical communication along the first optical axis 8A.
, ~ . .
~ 5-:, : :i ~(9S3~
In Figures 3, 4, 5, reflectors 12 and l4 have been shifted 90 so ~hat object plane 4 and image plane 6 are in op-tical communication along the second optical axis 8B. When the object o is imaged at I by means of the projectLon lens 20 along optical axis 8B, the characters FR are rotated 180 (-Figure lA) relative to their orientation when projected along optical axis 8A
(Figure 1~. During scanning, when the object o with its characters FR is moving in the scan direction 5B, its image is propagated along the second optical axis 8B, and laid down on the moving photoreceptor as shown in Figure lA~ As viewed from the opposite side of the paper looking up at Figure 1, it wil~ be appreciated that the object is, of course, right-reading, the only difference being that these successive images are rotated 180 relative to each other.
To summarize, when the object with ltS charaters FR is moved in the scan direction 5A its image is projected along optical axis 8A onto the image plane at I as shown in ... ..
Figure lo When the object characters FR are moved in the .
scan direction 5B, the image is projected along optical ~! ) axis 8B onto the image plane at I as shown in Figure lA.

reciprocating ~ri~e and of the re~lector drive are not necessary ~o an understanding o~ the present invention. Indeed, such mechanism may take ~e~eral forms. The essential thing is ~ that the reflectors 12 and 14 are in synchronism with the ;`'!: reciprocating motion of the object O. Thus, when the object O
is moving in scan direction 5~, reflectors 12 and :L4 are in .' ~ ' ' .

~L~53~6 end of the stroke in direction 5A, and be~ore the return stroke in direction 5B, reflectors 12 and 14 are shifted so as to project along optical axis 8B.
It will be appreciated that the invention described herein provides a strip scanning optical system capable of projecting images during both directions of reciprocal scan movement~ This has been done by optically rotating the optical axis or in effect, optically reversing the photo-receptor between successive scans. By projecting useful images in both directions o~ scan movement, clearly the ratio of useful time to lost time in the operation of a photocopy.ing .) machine employing this invention is greatly increased.
~he description given above has been with xeerence to a system in which the optics are stationary and the object ..
is reciprocated... While this is presently preferred, it will be appreciated that the concept of the invention is not limited ~ .:
to such an arrangement~ It is, of course, possible to have . the object remain stationary and have the optical system reciprocate relative to it.
Reduced to its basics, the invention involves rotating a plane 180 about each of the coordinate axes lying . in the plane. The effect of this is to rotate the plane 180 about th~ thira coorainate axis, the axis normal to the plane. : -. : .
. . In terms of an image projection system as is invo~ved here, the propa~ating image wavefront is taken as a plane for ~. the purpose of a rame of reference in describing and defining ~:

it will be clear that such concepts in the claims as imagewavefront, planar wavefront, and coordinate axes lying in the wavefront, are not limited to an actual plane wavefront en-vironment. The planar wavefront image propagation is simply a useful aid to understanding the invention~
