(Mechanism for Home Position Setting of Conveying Film)

In FIG. 2, a photo sensor is used as the film mark sensor 15, and the film mark sensor 15 is fixed to the frame. The film mark sensor 15 is arranged at a position corresponding to the end of the transport film 2. When the film end mark 2a written on the transport film 2 is transported, the film end mark 2a is a light-shielding mark. It is detected because it exists. Therefore, the film edge mark 2a is arranged at the leading edge of the transport film 2 that can be conveyed, and the home position is set in accordance with the position of the film edge mark 2a after the power is turned on.

(Document transport operation)

Next, the document conveying operation by the document conveying device A will be described with reference to FIG. First, the original stack is placed on the feeding tray 7 and the leading end is abutted against the separation roller 12. When the forward button 20a is pressed using the remote controller 20, the motor 22 rotates in the clockwise direction to rotate the film transport upper roller 4a in the same direction to transport the transport film 2 and the pressing film 3 to the left in FIG. To do. Then, the first transport roll 5a and the first pressing roll 5b are rotated while slipping at high speed to wind up the transport film 2 and the pressing film 3.

Next, the electromagnetic clutch 24 is operated to rotate the feeding roller 10 in the clockwise direction. At the same time, the pick-up roller 9 also rotates clockwise while the swing arm 11
Is rotated in the clockwise direction around the feeding roller shaft 10a, the pickup roller 9 is placed on the document stack, and further pressed. At this time, the feed roller 10 and the separation roller
Sequentially fed into 12 nip parts. The friction coefficient μ between the feeding roller 10 and the original (OHP sheet) 1 is determined by the separation roller.
Since it is set to be larger than the friction coefficient μ between 12 and the original 1, even if two originals 1 enter the nip portion, only the upper original 1 is conveyed.

Next, when the leading edge of the separated and conveyed original 1 is detected by the feeding sensor 14, the original 1 is nipped by the film conveying roller pair 4. After that, the original 1 is fed to the transport film 2
After being sandwiched between the pressing film 3 and conveyed by about 50 mm, the electromagnetic clutch 24 is turned off. Since the force with which the pair of film conveying rollers 4 conveys the original 1 is set to be larger than the conveying force obtained in the separating and conveying section,
When the electromagnetic clutch 24 is turned off, the original 1 is conveyed only by the film conveying roller pair 4, and the feeding roller 10 and the separation roller 12 are driven to rotate and the original 1 is pulled out from the nip portion.

At the same time when the trailing edge of the original 1 passes the feeding sensor 14, the length of the original 1 is first measured. That is, the distance is calculated by the number of steps given to the motor 22 from when the feeding sensor 14 is turned on to when it is turned off, and the length of the document 1 can be recognized. The half of the length of the original 1 is the length from the rear edge of the original to the center of the original, and
The drive of the motor 22 is controlled so that the image center of the exposure unit 101 of the P-apparatus B coincides with it, and the motor 22 is stopped. Then, when the forward button 20a of the remote controller 20 is pressed, the original 1 on the next page is transferred to the platen glass 10 of the OHP device B by the above-described operation.

Next, the conveying operation for returning the page of the original 1 will be described. When you press the backward button 20b on the remote control 20,
The motor 22 rotates counterclockwise to rotate the film transport upper roller 4a in the same direction to transport the transport film 2 and the pressing film 3 to the right in FIG. And the second
The transport film 6 and the pressing film 3 are wound by rotating the transport roll 6a and the second pressing roll 6b while slipping at high speed.

Next, the electromagnetic clutch 24 is operated to rotate the feeding roller 10 in the counterclockwise direction. At the same time, while the pickup roller 9 also rotates counterclockwise, the swinging arm 11 rotates counterclockwise about the feeding roller shaft 10a to retract the pickup roller 9 from the feeding tray 7. The original 1 is conveyed in the right direction in FIG. 2, and when it passes through the nip portion of the filmy conveying roller pair 4, the leading end of the original 1 is picked up by the scooping mylar 17 and guided to the discharge path.
Then, when the leading edge of the document 1 is detected by the discharge sensor 18, the pair of discharge rollers 19 is operated and the document 1 is nipped and conveyed by the pair of discharge rollers 19. After the discharge sensor 18 is turned on, the document 1 is conveyed by a predetermined amount and the center of the document 1 on the previous page is located at the OHP device B.
Of the motor 22 so that the image center of the exposure unit 101 of the
Stop driving. At this time, the document 1 is discharged and stacked on the feeding tray 7.

By the above operation, the originals 1 are moved forward or backward so that they are stacked while the original stack is set on the feeding tray 7 with the image side facing upward while keeping the page order. Sequential access is possible without breaking.

According to the above-described structure, the presenter can start the presentation simply by placing the originals 1 stacked in page order on the feed tray 7 and operating the remote controller 20. You can quickly prepare for sets and presentations.

Further, since the original document 1 is conveyed in page order and can be arbitrarily accessed, when the original document 1 that has been used once is used again or when the original document 1 is searched for, the target original document 1 can be smoothly moved.
Can be accessed.

When the presenter changes, the manuscript 1 that has been used once can be discharged onto the feeding tray 7 to collect the manuscript 1, and the next presenter can put a bundle of manuscripts on the feeding tray 7. It can be replaced smoothly in a short time just by placing it. Further, since the originals 1 discharged onto the feeding tray 7 are collected in page order, there is no need to rearrange them.

If another original 1 is inserted between the originals 1 during the presentation, the original 1 to be inserted in the feeding tray 7 may be placed and inserted between arbitrary originals by a feeding operation. Is also possible.

Next, the structure of the transport film 2 and the number of originals 1 stored in the transport film 2 will be described. FIG. 7 is a development view of the transport film 2, and both ends thereof are fixed to the first transport roll 5a and the second transport roll 6a. The home position is the position where the film mark sensor 15 detects the film end mark 2a formed on the above-mentioned transport film 2, and at this time, the platen glass 102 is located at the position indicated by 102a shown by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure. 40

According to the above structure, when the lamp in the exposure section 101 is turned on before the presentation is started, the light shielding section 40 of the transport film 2 blocks the light and the light is not projected on the screen, so that the screen becomes dazzling. The unsightly state can be avoided.

Further, the original document feeder A includes a feeding roller.
Counting means is provided for counting the number of originals 1 fed from the sheet 10 onto the transport film 2. For example, the number of documents can be detected by the feeding sensor 14, and the counted number of documents can be stored in a counter incorporated in the MCOM 36.
Then, the MCOM 36 compares the preset number of documents that can be stored in the transport film 2 with the number of fed documents counted by the detection signal of the feeding sensor 14.

The transport film 2 is attached to the first transport roll 5a.
In addition, if the number of originals 1 that can be wound and stored is 30, the originals 1 are arranged on the transport film 2 as shown in FIG. Manuscript 1-30 is the 30th manuscript, and the above MCOM36
Detects that the number of originals supplied on the transport film 2 has reached the number of stored originals (30 sheets), the original feeding operation is stopped, and the 31st original is not supplied on the transport film 2. Further, at this time, the above-mentioned carrier film 2 is transferred to the first carrier roll
