Abstract

1,253,199. Photo-copying apparatus. EUROGRAPH GES. FUR. PHOTOMECHANIK mbh. April 10, 1970 [April 10, 1969], No.17135/70. Headings G2A and G2H. A reproduction camera comprises a housing 1 having a table 3 for supporting an original 2, a first exposure station 16, a second exposure station 18, and an optical system for projecting an image of the original 2 to either station, the optical system including a mirror 13 movable between two positions, in the first of which the mirror 13 reflects light to the station 16, and in the second of which the mirror does not impede the passage of light to the station 18. As shown, in the second position the mirror is aligned with a partition 14. The optical system further comprises a fixed mirror 8 and a lens 9 mounted by a bellows for manual adjustment, or in response to push-buttons on a control panel. In another embodiment Fig.3 (not shown) the station 18. is replaced by a mechanism (20) which includes means for withdrawing negative material from a supply reel, for severing material therefrom, for transporting a severed sheet to the new second station (21) and for developing and discharging the exposed sheet. A similar mechanism could be used to convert the camera into an automatically operating machine for making electrostatic photocopies. Movement of the mirror 13 and transport of a several sheet to the station (21) are synchronized.
