Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To prevent misalignment when copying complex objects with a copying machine. [Structure] A light source for illumination is provided in the copying machine so that the position of the copy location can be seen from the back side of the paper.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0001] [Industrial field of application] [0002] The present invention relates to a copying machine for copying documents, pictures, diagrams and the like.

 [Prior Art] [0002] In a conventional copying machine, light is illuminated on a surface to be copied only when a copy operation is performed, and a copy sheet is set on a glass surface of the copying machine. When you try, you are not illuminated.

 [Problems to be solved by the invention] [0003] When the copy sheet is set on the dark glass surface with the copy surface on the back side, whether the intended copy target is correctly set within the copy frame. Is hard to understand.

In particular, when copying a part of a large sheet of paper, using two or more copy targets, and performing joint baking or dodging, it is very difficult to operate. Sometimes it's necessary to do a few test burns, wasting copy time and time.

 [Means for Solving the Problem] [0004] In order to solve such a problem, according to the present invention, when a copy sheet is set in the copy machine and aligned, the copy surface of the copy machine is illuminated so that the copy surface is illuminated. A light source was installed inside.

 [Operation] [0005] The light source may be a light source for a copy operation, or an auxiliary light source provided separately.

In any case, if the light source is set to illuminate the copy paper, the paper can be seen through from the back side of the paper and the target image to be copied can be determined. Therefore, it is possible to easily make a copy without misalignment.

 [Embodiment of the Invention] [0006] An embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a copying machine of the present invention, showing a state in which a copy sheet is set for making a copy. In the figure, 1 is a copying machine main body, 2 is a light source installed inside the copying machine, 3 is a glass surface, 4 is copy paper, and 5 is a reflection plate.

Reference numeral 6 indicates the traveling direction of the light emitted from the light source 2.

 Now, when the copy paper 4 is placed on the glass surface 3, the light emitted from the light source 2 travels in the direction of the arrow 6, and leaks through the paper from the lower surface of the paper. Therefore, the image to be copied can be identified from the back side of the paper, and the alignment can be easily performed.

 FIG. 2 is an example of copying some articles in a newspaper. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an outer frame of the copying machine, and the sizes of sheets such as A4 and A3 are marked on the frame. In No. 2, the newspaper whose copy is to be copied is placed on the glass with the target article facing the glass. In the copying machine according to the present invention, since the surface to be copied is illuminated, the target area (broken line portion) can be seen from the back surface. In this case, the copy is reduced to A4 size and stored. You can easily make decisions.

 Figure 3 shows an example of copying by deleting a part of the picture to be copied. When illuminated from the back side, it is possible to insert another sheet of paper exactly into the part to be deleted. , The desired copy is possible. In the figure, 1 is a paper on which a picture to be copied is drawn, and the surface of the picture is located on the side opposite to the paper surface of the paper and is placed face down on the glass surface of the copying machine. Therefore, the picture on the sheet 1 cannot be seen in the conventional copying machine, but in the copying machine of the present invention, it has a light source for setting, so that it can be seen through. In the figure, 2 is a part of the picture to be deleted. Since the position of the part to be deleted is clear by the illumination now, it is easy to insert the white paper 3 under the picture and operate the copier. You can get a copy of the picture with some parts deleted.

 [Advantages of the Invention] [0007] By using the copying machine of the present invention, it becomes easy to align the position when copying, and it is possible to accurately connect and dodge two sheets of paper, thus saving time and cost. Become.

[Brief description of drawings]

 [0008]

FIG. 1 shows an example of a copying machine according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a copying machine main body, 2 is a light source, 3 is glass, 4 is copy paper, 5 is a reflector, and 6 is a light beam.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which an article surface of a newspaper to be copied is placed face down on a copying machine. In the figure, 1 is an outer frame of a copying machine, 2 is a newspaper, and 3 is an article to be copied.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which a part of a copy target is deleted and copying is performed. In the drawing, 1 is a picture to be copied, 2 is a part to be deleted from the picture, and 3 is a blank sheet for dodging.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] [Claim 1] When a sheet to be copied is set on the glass surface, a light source on the opposite side of the glass (inside the main body of the copying machine) emits light, and the target image (characters, pictures, figures, tables and the like) to be copied. A copier with internal lighting that allows you to identify the layout etc. from the back side of the copy paper.
