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 30):
A digital microform imaging apparatus, comprising:\n a chassis that forms a first cavity and a substantially horizontal window; a housing cover that forms a second cavity, the cover supported by the chassis with a front portion of the cover positioned above the horizontal window and the second cavity extending rearward from the front portion to a rear portion, the front portion of the housing spaced from the horizontal window by a gap; a first illumination source supported within one of the cavities for generating light that travels along a light path, the first illumination source directing light along a first optical axis segment of the light path through the horizontal window and the gap and toward the other of the cavities; a mirror assembly including at least a first fold mirror supported within the other of the cavities 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 within the other of the cavities, the second optical axis segment forming a substantially 90 degree angle with the first optical axis segment; a first carriage supported in the other of the cavities for motion along a trajectory that is substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; a second carriage supported in the other of the cavities for motion along a trajectory that is substantially parallel to the second optical axis segment; an area sensor supported by the first carriage within the other of the cavities and aligned within the light path; a lens supported by the second carriage within the other of the cavities and aligned along the light path between the fold mirror and the area sensor; a first motor supported in the other of the cavities and coupled to the first carriage for driving the first carriage to positions where the distance along the light path between the area sensor and the at least a first fold mirror is controllable within a first range; a second motor supported in the other of the cavities and coupled to the second carriage for driving the second carriage to positions where the lens is at different locations along the light path; and a microform media support structure supported by the chassis and configured to support a microform media within a plane substantially orthogonal to the first optical axis segment and so that the first optical axis segment passes through the microform media, the media support structure located within the gap between the front portion of the housing and the horizontal window.
