Copying machine with multiple light sources

Claim 2

A copying machine in which light reflected from an original on an original table is directed through a prescribed light path, the light being then reflected by a prescribed mirror disposed in said light path toward a moving photosensitive member, by operating an operating unit including a first light source, said copying machine including: a slide projector having a slidefilm supporting means which movably supports a slidefilm and a second light source which illuminates the slidefilm, said slide projector being provided in such a way that said mirror and said photosensitive member are positioned in the light path of said second light source, said mirror being movable to a reflecting position for reflecting the reflected light from the original onto the photosensitive member as well as to a retracted position for allowing the light from the slide projector to be directly projected onto the photosensitive member; said copying machine further including a detecting means for detecting whether said mirror is in said reflecting position or in said retracted position, the speed of said moving photosensitive member being changed on the basis of the detected result of said detecting means.

Claim 3

A copying machine according to claim 1, wherein said mirror is adapted to be moved manually.

Claim 4

A copying machine according to claim 2, wherein said detecting means is for directly detecting the position of said mirror.

Claim 5

A copying machine according to claim 1, further including a driving means, controllable by an operating switch located on an operation panel, for moving said mirror.

Claim 6

A copying machine according to claim 4, wherein said detecting means is for detecting the state of said switch so as to determine the position of said mirror.

Claim 7

A copying machine in which light reflected from an original on an original table is directed through a prescribed light path, the light being then reflected by a prescribed mirror disposed in said light path toward a moving photosensitive member, by operating an operating unit including a first light source, said copying machine including: a slide projector having a slidefilm supporting means which supports a slidefilm movably and a second light source which illuminates the slidefilm, said slide projector being provided in such a way that said mirror and said photosensitive member are positioned in the light path of said second light source, and a light regulator connected to said first light source for regulating power supply to said first light source, said mirror being movable to a reflecting position for reflecting the reflected light from the original onto the photosensitive member as well as to a retracted position for allowing the light from the slide projector to be directly projected onto the photosensitive member; said copying machine further including a detecting means for detecting whether said mirror is in said reflecting position or in said retracted position, either one of said first light source or said second light source being selectively put into operation on the basis of the detected result of said detecting means, said light regulator being connected to said second light source on the basis of the detected result of said detecting means.

Claim 8

A copying machine in which light reflected from an original on an original table is directed through a prescribed light path, the light being then reflected by a prescribed mirror disposed in said light path toward a moving photosensitive member, by operating an operating unit including a first light source, said copying machine including: a slide projector having a slidefilm supporting means which supports a slidefilm movably and a second light source which illuminates the slidefilm, said slide projector being provided in such a way that said mirror and said photosensitive member are positioned in the light path of said second light source, and a light regulator connected to said first light source for regulating power supply to said first light source, said mirror being movable to a reflecting position for reflecting the reflected light from the original onto the photosensitive member as well as to a retracted position for allowing the light from the slide projector to be directly projected onto the photosensitive member; said copying machine further including a detecting means for detecting whether said mirror is in said reflecting position or in said retracted position, either one of said first light source or said second light source being selectively put into operation on the basis of the detected result of said detecting means, said light regulator being connected to said second light source on the basis of the detected result of said detecting means.

Claim 9

A copying machine according to claim 6, wherein said mirror is adapted to be moved manually.

Claim 10

A copying machine according to claim 7, wherein said detecting means is for directly detecting the position of said mirror.

Claim 11

A copying machine according to claim 6, further including a driving means, controllable by an operating switch located on an operation panel, for moving said mirror.

Claim 12

A copying machine according to claim 9, wherein said detecting means if for detecting the state of said switch so as to determine the position of said mirror.
