  • Said transmitting part is provided with a cylinder with a original subject copy on its surface driven by a motor, each set of photoelectric converter and amplifier for each primary color of said original, for example, cyanine, magenta, yellow and black, and an encorder to multiplex said primary color signals and a synchronizing signals from a speed senser of said rotating cylinder.
  • said receiving part has a decorder which restores the received signals to said primary color signals and said synchronizing signals, a drum with some paper on its surface driven by a motor, an AFC device which synchronizes the rotation of said drum with that of the cylinder of the transmitting part by comparing the signals from said senser with said synchronizing signals, each set of amplifier and recording part for each of said primary color. signals. Accordingly it is possible to transmit and record colored pictures and writings easily' by using cable or wireless apparatus.
  • the second feature of this invention is to use in said recording part a ball-pen system utilizing a pen having a ball at its point and to support a holding means for said ball-pen so to be pressed to a paper with some pressure corresponding to the strength of said each primary color signal led from said decorder and amplified.
  • the third feature of this invention is to coat the surface of a supporting base of the recording paper in the receiving part with a vinyl or rubber sheet so as to facilitate recording by said ball-pen and to provide an excess ink eliminating mechanism such as felt or brush unit in the receiving part.

  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a block diagram in which the present device is employed.
  • Reference numerals 1 through 18 in FIG. 1 designate a transmitting part of a color facsimile.
  • Referencenumeral 1 designates a cylinder on the surface of which a original subject medium 2 is attached, and the cylinder is rotated by means of a motor 3 through a driving shaft amplified and shaped by amplifiers ll, 12, Band 14,
  • the encorder l5 time-divides or multiplexes each primary color signal, and, on the other hand, a synchronizing signal from a phase transmitter is added.
  • Said phase transmitter comprises a gear-like disk 16 made of .a soft iron for showing a cylindrical rotating phase and directly connected to the cylinder, and a senser 17 for sensing said disk.
  • the signal thus taken out is led from the encorder to a transmission terminal 18 and sent out by a transmission medium 19 such as a wire orwireless system.
  • the photoelectric converters 7, 8, 9 and 10 are fabricated such that they migrate in the axial direction of the cylinder with the rotation of the cylinder 1.
  • Reference numerals 20 through 36 in FIG. 1 designate the receiving part of a color facsimile which includes a recording part in ball-pen systemhaving a characteristic of the present invention.
  • the primary color signal multiplyed or timedivided is led from a receiving terminal 20 to a decorder 21.

  • the types of the decorders since there are many publicly known ones as in U.S. Pat. No. 1,709,926 corresponding to the types of the encorders, and therefore explanation in detail thereof will be omitted.
  • the synchronizing signal which forms one of the output of the decorder 21 is led as a standard signal to an AFC device 34 for rotating a drum of the receiving part in synchronism with the rotation of a cylinder 1 of the transmitting part.
  • Signals from a senser 33 for sensing the phase of a soft iron-made gear-shaped disk 16 of the transmitting part directly connected to the drum 30 and showing the rotation phase of said drum and that of a similar disk 32 are applied to the AFC device 34.
  • the output from the senser 33 is compared with the synchronizing signal from the decorder 21, and taken out of the AFC device 34 as such a signal that the phase of the drum of the receiving part synchronizes with the phase of the cylinder of the transmitting part, and a motor 35 for driving the cylinder is rotated by this signal.
  • the rotation of the motor 35 is transmitted from a drive shaft 36 to the drum 30.
  • Respective ball-pen type recorders of said recording part have inks corresponding to the spectral characteristics of respective primary color photoelectric converters, and are press-fitted on a general paper 31 wound around the surface of the drum 30 by primary color signals. Thereby a transmitted signal of the original subject copy is recorded with the density of each primary color ink corresponding to the density of respective primary color of the original subject copy on a general paper or a sheet of other material 31, thus the colored picture and writing recording being carried out.
  • FIG. 2 (A) is a view showing an appearance of a ball-pen system recorder.
  • FIG. 2 (B) shows the section of the same.
  • FIG. 2 the recorder resembles to the cone driving part of a moving coil-outer magnetic type speaker.
  • Reference numeral 37 designates a magnetic yoke, and forms a magnetic path together with a permanent magnet indicated by numeral .38 and produces a strong magnetic field perpendicular to a moving coil 40 retained by a diaphragm-shaped cone 39. Since the diaphragm-shaped cone has an elasticity in the axial direction, it is displaced in the axial direction corresponding to the current flowing to the moving coil 40.
  • the signal current of an amplifier 22 (or 23, 24, 25) in FIG. 1 is applied to the moving coil 40.
  • the diaphragm-shaped cone is secured by a vibrating plate fitting seat shown by reference numeral 41.
  • a ball-pen retainer 42 is fitted to the center of the diaphragm-shaped cone thereby to hold a ballpen 44 with a teflon bushing 43.
  • the ball-pen is secured by means of the ball-pen retainer42, and since the teflon bushing 43 can move the pen in the axial direction, the pen 44 migrates in the axial direction by the current flowing on the moving coil 40, and, as the result, it is press-fitted on a general paper 31 wound around the drum 30 of the receiving part.
  • the interval between the pen point and paper surface is retained to become constant at the time of non-signal by an interval retainer indicated by reference numeral 45 in FIG. 1.
  • an ink retaining portion of a ball-pen is connected to an ink reservoir, arm is drawn out of the yoke as a method of retaining the interval of the paper surface and the pen point, and the entire part of a recorder. is pressfitted to the paper surface.
  • reference numeral 94 shows a holding part of said ball at the ball-pen
  • 95 shows the ball
  • 96,97,98 show respectively a recording sheet, a vinyl or rubber sheet and a supporting base.
  • 96,97 and 98 are supposed to illustrate the cross-section of the recording sheet setting on the vinyl sheet whic winds around the drum.
  • FIG. 7 (A) shows the situation that the tip of the ballpen is apart by so small distance from the recording paper.
  • FIG. 7 (B) shows the situation that the tip of the ballpen is slightly pressed to the surface of the recording paper and as the result, the vinyl sheet fixed under the recording paper is pressed as the shape of small concave. Then the pen is started to record on the paper.
  • FIG. 7 (C) shows the situation that the pressure is increased, in consequence, a bigger concave is made on the original subject copy becomes possible to be realized.
  • the pressure applied to the ball-pen becomes the maximum and the tip of the ball goes into the recording paper up to the deepest point.
  • the touched area between the ball andthe paper increases to the maximum and it corresponds to the highest density portion on the original subject copy.
  • the strength of signal applied to the ballpen responds mainly to the variation of the width of the recording line.
  • the relationship between the depthof press-fitting and the width of recording line 99 is shows in the FIG. 12.
  • the levels of press-fitting depth, a, b, c, andj respectively correspond to the width of recording line a, b, c, and j
