Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
An electrophotographic multicolor image reproducing device which comprises means for charging a photosensitive member uniformly, means provided with a plurality of different color separation filters for positioning one of said filters selectively at an exposure position, means for projecting an original image to the photosensitive member through a positioned color separation filter, means for developing an image formed on the photosensitive member only on one side thereof, means provided with developing means of the same number as that of the kinds of color separation filter for positioning one of the developing means selectively corresponding to the kind of the filter, through which the original image has been projected, at a developing position, and means for fixing said photosensitive member at a predetermined position until process of color reproduction is completed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
An electrophotographic multicolor image reproducing device which comprises means for charging a photosensitive member uniformly, means provided with a plurality of different color separation filters for positioning one of said filters selectively at an exposure position, means for projecting an original image to the photosensitive member through a positioned color separation filter, means for developing an image formed on the photosensitive member only on one side thereof, means provided with developing means of the same number as that of the kinds of color separation filter for positioning one of the developing means selectively corresponding to the kind of the filter, through which the original image has been projected, at a developing position, and means for fixing said photosensitive member at a predetermined position until process of color reproduction is completed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An electrophotographic multicolor image reproducing device according to claim 1, wherein said projecting means and said developing means are disposed oppositely with respect to said photosensitive member.
