Abstract
Abstract An image reproduction device using a radiation source mounted in a reflector is aimed at the periphery of a transparent tube encompassing the reflector and the source. A driver belt has a portion of its surface engaging with the tube and moves an original and a copy sheet past radiations from the source. Means are provided to aim and focus the source and to adjust the tracking of the belt.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An image reproduction device comprising a radial source, a reflector encompassing a portion of said radiation source, a transparent tube encompassing said reflector and said source, backup rolls supporting said tube for rotation, a movable belt having a portion in pressure engagement with said transparent tube, angular adjusting means mounting said reflector, longitudinal adjusting meaNs mounting said source, and means for guiding an original and a receptor sheet between said tube and said belt whereby said tube and belt will move them pass said source so that radiation therefrom will form a heat pattern on the receptor sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An image reproduction device comprising a radial source, a reflector encompassing a portion of said radiation source, a transparent tube encompassing said reflector and said source, backup rolls supporting said tube for rotation, a movable belt having a portion in pressure engagement with said transparent tube, angular adjusting means mounting said reflector, longitudinal adjusting meaNs mounting said source, and means for guiding an original and a receptor sheet between said tube and said belt whereby said tube and belt will move them pass said source so that radiation therefrom will form a heat pattern on the receptor sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The image reproduction device of claim 1 wherein said angular adjusting means comprises means for moving said source and said reflector on an arcuate path and means for angularly adjusting said reflector and said source on the path.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The image reproduction device of claim 1 wherein said longitudinal adjusting means comprises movable means supporting said source.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
111 words
An image reproduction device comprising a radiation source, a reflector encompassing a portion of said radiation source, a transparent tube encompassing said reflector and said source, backup rolls supporting said tube for rotation, a movable belt having a portion in pressure engagement with said transparent tube, means supporting said belt for movement comprising a rotatable means movable toward and away from said tube, means for adjusting said source and said reflector, and means for guiding an original and a receptor sheet between said tube and said belt whereby said tube and belt will move them pass said source so that radiation therefrom will form a heat pattern on the receptor sheet.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
111 words
An image reproduction device comprising a radiation source, a reflector encompassing a portion of said radiation source, a transparent tube encompassing said reflector and said source, backup rolls supporting said tube for rotation, a movable belt having a portion in pressure engagement with said transparent tube, means supporting said belt for movement comprising a rotatable means movable toward and away from said tube, means for adjusting said source and said reflector, and means for guiding an original and a receptor sheet between said tube and said belt whereby said tube and belt will move them pass said source so that radiation therefrom will form a heat pattern on the receptor sheet.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The image reproduction device of claim 4 wherein said means supporting said belt includes a plurality of spaced rolls.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The image reproduction device of claim 5 including a pair of spaced plates supporting said rolls for rotation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The image reproduction device of claim 6 including tiltable means supporting one of said spaced rolls on said spaced plates.
