Patent ID: 6965412

Claim:
A system for enlarging images, comprising: a positioning device, the positioning device comprising: a first set of parallel rods, wherein the first set of parallel rods contains left and right ends, a second set of parallel rods, movably mounted perpendicular to the first set of parallel rods, wherein the second set of parallel rods contains top and bottom ends; a carriage mounted for movement along the second set of parallel rods; a first motor coupled to move the second set of parallel rods along the first set of parallel rods; a second motor coupled to move the carriage along the second set of parallel rods, wherein the control panel actuates the first and second motors; a control panel coupled to move the positioning device, wherein the control panel includes a left control button, a right control button, an up control button, a down control button, and a joystick; a video camera, coupled to the positioning device, which provides a video output; a monitor, connected to the video camera, which displays the video output; a stage, on which material of any type may be placed, wherein the video camera films the material, and the monitor displays the material at a high magnification; a first perimeter plate, perpendicular to the first set of parallel rods, connected to the left ends of the first set of parallel rods; a second perimeter plate, perpendicular to the first set of parallel rods, connected to the right ends of the first set of parallel rods; a first mounting plate, perpendicular to the second set of parallel rods, connected to the top ends of the second set of parallel rods; a second mounting plate, perpendicular to the second set of parallel rods, connected to the bottom ends of the second set of parallel rods; bushings attached to the two mounting plates, wherein the bushings slide over the first set of parallel rods, allowing the second set of parallel rods to travel along the first set of parallel rods between the two perimeter plates; and a mounting wall and a set of wall mounting plates connected to the first set of parallel rods, to allow mounting of the positioning device to the mounting wall.
