Abstract:
An imaging apparatus comprising a chassis, a light source for directing light along a first optical axis segment of the light path, at least a first fold mirror supported within the light path for redirecting light along a second optical axis segment, the at least a first fold mirror having a top edge, a first elongated lead member supported by the chassis, the first elongated lead member forming at least a first substantially straight surface that extends substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment, a first drive mechanism supported by the chassis and extending alongside and spaced apart from the first lead member, an area sensor aligned for movement with a segment of the light path, wherein the first lead member and the first drive mechanism are located to first and second different sides of the second optical axis segment and wherein each of the first lead member and the first drive mechanism are located at a height below the top edge of the at least a first fold mirror.

Claim (Index 28):
A digital microform imaging apparatus, comprising:\n a chassis; a light source supported by the chassis for generating light that travels along a light path, the light source directing light along a first optical axis segment of the light path; a mirror assembly including at least a first fold mirror supported by the chassis within the light path for redirecting light trajectories along the light path, the at least a first fold mirror including a reflecting surface located along the first optical axis segment and redirecting light from the light source along a second optical axis segment of the light path, the at least a first fold mirror having a top edge; a first elongated lead member supported by the chassis, the first elongated lead member forming at least a first substantially straight surface that extends substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; a first drive mechanism supported by the chassis and extending alongside and spaced apart from the first lead member; a first carriage supported by the first lead member for movement along a trajectory substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; a first motor having a first motor shaft, the first motor and the first drive mechanism linking the first carriage to the chassis and the first motor shaft engaging the first drive mechanism to move the first carriage along the substantially straight surface of the first lead member through a first range of motion as the first motor shaft rotates; an area sensor supported by the first carriage within the light path, the area sensor supported for movement with the first carriage to adjust a distance along the light path between the area sensor and the fold mirror; a second drive mechanism supported by the chassis and extending alongside and spaced apart from the first lead member; a second carriage linked to the second drive mechanism for movement along a trajectory substantially parallel to the first lead member; a second motor having a second motor shaft and supported by the chassis, the second drive mechanism coupling the second motor to the second carriage to move the second carriage along the trajectory substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment through a second range of motion; and a lens supported by the second carriage and positioned between the area sensor and the fold mirror along the light path; wherein, the first and second motor shafts extend in the same direction and are arranged along substantially horizontal first and second axis that are located within substantially the same vertical plane.
