Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a copying machine, and relates to a dual-purpose machine that can have tracing and various other work functions in addition to the copying function.

B. Conventional field A conventionally known copying machine is installed so that various copying light sources are irradiated from inside the machine onto a glass table for placing a document.
On top of that, a document holding plate is provided so as to be openable and closable. The so-called lightning box used for tracing and other work is constructed so that a light source installed inside the machine uniformly illuminates the glass on its upper surface. Although these mechanisms are rarely used at the same time, they are formed separately and occupy a large space. Furthermore, for example, when copying one document by overlapping or joining another document, conventionally the document was placed face up and visually checked while the document was combined on another workbench, and the document was fixed.
The paper was then inverted and brought onto a copying machine for copying.

C. Problems to be solved by the present invention The above-mentioned copying work of stacking or joining originals is not a problem when it comes to small originals, but the work of combining and reversing originals that are several meters long requires Currently, there is a risk of injury, and a large number of human hands are required.
In addition, copying a portion of a large document is also a task that requires time and effort to identify the portion. Also, the manuscript is also glued,
There are cases where cellophane tape etc. cannot be used.
In such a case, the work of aligning the originals, reversing them, and then correcting the misalignment is extremely difficult. Moreover, since copying machines and light boxes occupy large spaces, there is a risk that a large work area is required and that indirect work costs increase, such as interfering with other work.

D. Means for solving the problem In order to solve the above problem, the present invention makes it possible to perform operations such as overlapping and joining the originals while checking the originals, and to attach adhesives, tapes, etc. Copying can be done without having to fix the parts, and even when copying parts of a manuscript, it is possible to identify the parts while visually checking the manuscript.
Furthermore, if you have the space of one copying machine, you can perform a wide variety of tasks such as normal copying, tracing, etc., as well as superimposing originals, splicing copies, partial copies, etc., and you can save space. The purpose of this project is to propose a copying machine that has excellent advantages.In addition to providing a light source that irradiates the original glass stand in the housing separately from the copying light source of the copying machine, It is characterized by the installation of a workbench made of hard light-transmitting material.

E. Embodiment 1 is a case of a copying machine, which has normal copying machine equipment, that is, a paper feed section, a printing section, and a paper ejection section. The light source is installed so as to irradiate the original glass table 2. Of course, this printing section is not limited to the dry electrostatic copying method, and various other methods can be used. Although the original glass stand 2 is made of transparent glass and is provided on the housing 1 , it is preferable to install it over as wide a range as possible on the housing 1 .
Reference numerals 3, 3, . . . indicate illumination lights, which are installed inside the housing 1 , and are installed so as to illuminate the document mounting glass table 2. In the embodiment, the illumination lights 3, 3, . . . are installed around the original glass table 2, but their installation locations are not limited as long as they do not interfere with the operation of the printing light source and other mechanisms. However, it is preferable to install the light so that the original glass table 2 is irradiated uniformly. Also, it is natural that the blinking switches for the illumination lights 3, 3, . . . should be installed separately from that of the burning light source. 4 is a workbench, which is preferably made of glass, but other hard, light-transmitting synthetic resin plates can also be used. These work tables 4 may be transparent or may be made of opaque material such as frosted glass. The workbench 4 is preferably installed on the housing 2 so as to be openable and closable, but it may be fixed. Various known mechanisms can be used to open and close the workbench 4, but for example, the workbench 4
The bendable legs 5, 5 can be fitted into grooves 6, 6 provided in the housing 1 , or the rear end of the workbench 4 and the rear end of the housing 1 can be joined with a knife plate. . Reference numerals 7 and 7 are guides to be installed as necessary, and they are provided on the back side of the workbench 4 at the same interval as the width of the document mounting glass table 2.
A desired inserting plate 8 of paper, board, etc. can be inserted and removed. Reference numerals 9 and 9 indicate contact plates provided as necessary, and are provided on the back surface of the workbench 4 or on the housing 1 . 10 is the operation panel provided on the side of the housing 1 , 11 and 11 are the housing 1
This is the leg. Next, regarding the use of this machine, when using it as a copying machine, you can place the original on the workbench 4 if it is transparent, or you can open the workbench 4 and place it on the document glass 2. Shimata insertion plate 8
It is also possible to insert a light transmission blocking plate into the guides 7, 7 and use it as a holding plate. For other operations, such as superimposed copying or splicing copying of originals, the original is brought onto the workbench 4, placed face down on the workbench 4, and the illumination lights 3, 3, . . . are turned on. let At this time, the original is illuminated by the illumination lights 3, 3, . . . through the original glass table 2 and the workbench 4, so that the contents of the original can be viewed from above. Therefore, the originals are superimposed or joined while visually checking them, and the copying operation is performed while maintaining this state while turning off or not turning off the illumination lights 3, 3, . . . . Also, insertion plate 8
Various patterns are inserted into the , and various operations such as selecting, copying, and superimposing desired patterns are performed.

F. Functions and Effects According to the present invention as described above, a light source that irradiates the original glass stand is provided in the housing separately from the copying light source of the copying machine, and a hard light is transmitted onto the original glass stand. Since we have installed a wooden workbench, it functions as a copier when copying, and as a light box for tracing, pattern comparison, etc., and can also be used as a normal workbench for various types of work. In addition to this function, the conventional work of overlapping and joining on a workbench and then bringing it to a copying machine to make copies can now be done on the workbench of this machine. The work can be done extremely easily and reliably since the work can be copied in the same state at the end of work without requiring work such as moving the original or fixing the original with glue. Further, by setting up an insertion board with patterns, dimensions, etc. that are normally used, the work can be carried out while always being able to compare with the original and other documents and confirming them. In addition, by inserting a scale, graph paper, etc. into the insertion plate, it is possible to perform work while visually checking or comparing, and work can be performed accurately. Furthermore, by using campaign materials, slogans, photographs, etc. on the insert plate, it has a great practical effect, such as functioning as an advertising medium.
