GRIFFITH LOUIS E; EBNER PETER R |
A photo machine such as a photo typesetter employs a guided carriage to carry an optical output device in a line-by-line scan along a photo recording member. The machine includes a moveable character store such as a rotating drum carrying a type font, and means to flash expose selected characters and to project the image to the input of an optical train. The optical output is mounted on a carriage positioned to slide along a single track or rail and to be propelled and guided by a single drive device including a pinion engaging a geared rack and force loading means to maintain such engagement. Precise positioning and precise motion control are achieved. The carriage control is adapted for a scanning optical output and a photo composing machine is illustrated as one embodiment of the invention.

A photo-composing machine having a register table on which a negative is registered to a predetermined position before the negative is loaded to a carriage which is adapted to move over a photosensitive member mounted on a platen of the machine. The carriage is so constructed that when it is set to the original point of its movement, it precisely registers with the register point of the negative on the register table.

A method for justifying a line of type from existing typographic material and a character generator is disclosed. An electrostatic charge pattern corresponding to at least a part of the image to be printed is formed. The image is developed and justification calculated. During the transferring process, the image-bearing member is selectively disengaged and re-engaged with the transfer member according to predetermined values to obtain the effect of justifying the line. This process is applicable to generally any form of imaging involving a transferable image or character.

This invention is concerned with a photocomposing machine and is more particularly concerned with a photocomposing machine for use in preparing printing plates for use in a machine for printing business forms. In such a machine text matter is prepared on a master sheet which is mounted on a carrier which moves through the machine in such a way that the matter to be projected is correctly positioned in the photocomposing machine Mask mechanisms and also provided in the photocomposing machine and these Mask mechanisms have to be moved at the same time as the carrier. The present invention provides a memory system to record a predetermined position of the carrier and masks and hence record a position of reproduction of the representation on the sensitized material.

HERDEN ROBERT B |
An optical system for a phototypesetting machine wherein a rotating type font having at least two spaced apart rows of characters has a focused light source periodically pulsed to direct a light beam through a translucent character in each of the two rows. An optical path for each of the character images is provided through a fixed projection lens onto a predetermined portion of a photosensitive medium. A rhomboid optic element having a predetermined index of refraction is selectively interposed in either of two positions in the optical paths of the character images. In one position, the first character is blocked and light from the second character passes through the prismatic element and is sharply focused by the projection lens on the photosensitive medium. In the alternate position, the second character is blocked and light from the first character is allowed to pass directly into the projection lens to also form a sharply focused image on the medium without passing through the rhomboid element.

A microfilm printer is disclosed for printing computer output data on microfilm. This film is advanced along a transport incrementally one line for each line of computer output data, and a line of data is imaged on one side of the film while the film is stopped between incremental advances. Periodically, generally much less often than the imaging of data lines, the image of a form is projected onto the film from the other side so that the film where finally developed displays the data entered in the form.

Light pulses in the form of selected character images are retained by a luminescent layer which is activated by the illuminated portion of a superimposed photoconductive layer onto which the character images are projected. Due to feedback from the luminescent layer to the photoconductive layer, the character image is retained for viewing as long as a voltage is applied to the superimposed layers. The character is also projected onto a record carrier which receives a light pulse only when a shutter is operated after the correctness of the selected character has been determined by viewing the character image, which is then erased.

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO PHOTOCOMPOSING AND MORE PARTICULARLY TO A PHOTOTYPESETTING MACHINE WHICH ACCEPTS CODED INPUTS SIGNALS AND AUTOMATICALLY PHOTOGRAPHS TYPE IMAGES FROM A ROTATING MASTER FONT ONTO PHOTOGRTAPHIC MATERIAL IN THE DESIRED FORMAT SUCH AS THE JUSTIFIED LINES OF TYPE USED IN NEWSPAPER TEXT. THE CHARACTER ARE SPACED BY STEPPING A PROJECTION LENS AND THE STEPPING IN CONTROLLED BY MEANS OF CHANGE GEARS TO MATCH THE REQUIREMENTS OF A READILY CHANGEABLE MASTER FRONT STRIP. STROBE CONTROL OF THE MASTER FONT CHARACTERS MOVING IN A DIRECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE BASE LINE PROVIDES FOR ADJUSTABLE CHARACTER ALIGNMENT CONTROL.

A representation of a copy form is displayed and an image pattern is projected onto the representation so that the light image pattern is identical with and overlies part of the copy form. A sensitized material is irradiated with actinic light in a pattern corresponding to the projected pattern. The positions of the projected and exposed patterns are adjusted to expose the entire copy form onto the sensitized material.

AN OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSLATOR IS PROVIDED FOR USE IN PRINTING AND OTHER APPLICATIONS. THE SIGNAL TRANSLATOR HAS A FIRST ROW OF FIRST SELECTORS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF LIGHT REFLECTING SURFACES FOR AGAINST DEFLECTING THE BEAM OF LIGHT SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE ROW. A SECOND ALIGNED ROW OF SECOND SELECTORS COMPRISES A PLURALITY OF ALIGNED LIGHT REFLECTING SURFACES FOR AGAIN DEFLECTING THE BEAM OF LIGHT. AN IMAGE MEANS CARRIES A PLURALITY OF IMAGES IN PREDETERMINED RELATIONSHIP TO THE FIRST AND SECOND ROWS. MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR SELECTING ONE OF THE FIRST PLURALITY LIGHT REFLECTING SURFACES AND MOVING IT INTO AN OPERATIVE POSITION WITH RESPECT TO THE BEAM OF LIGHT TO CAUSE REFLECTION OF SAID BEAM LIGHT THROUGH A SELECTED ONE OF SAID IMAGES TO TRANSLATE SAID BEAM OF LIGHT INTO A LIGHT IMAGE. THE OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSLATOR IS PREFERABLY USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PARALLEL AXIS LIGHT BEAM WHICH IS DEFLECTED BY THE TRANSLATOR TO PRODUCE A DESIRED IMAGE WHICH CAN BE IN TURN CONVERTED INTO A RECORDED IMAGE.

THE OPTICAL PHOTO OPPOSING APPARATUS CONTAINS A COMPOSITE OBJECTIVE WHICH PRODUCES IMAGE TYPES IN AN ENLARGED OR REDUCED SCALE. A CONSTANT DISTANCE BETWEEN TYPE PLANE AND IMAGE PLANE AND SIMULTANEOUS SHARP FOCUSING WITH IMAGE SIZE VARIATION SIMPLIFIES OPERATION OF THE APPARATUS. THE ENLARGEMENT AND REDUCTION RANGE IS BROADENED BY SWIVELING THE OBJECTIVE THROUGH 180 DEGREES. ADDITIONAL OPTICAL MEANS CAN BE INSERTED INTO AN AIR SPACE IN THE PATH OF RAYS IN THE OBJECTIVE WHEREBY MODIFICATION, ESPECIALLY DISTORTION OR ROTATION OF THE IMAGED TYPES WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL TYPES, CAN BE OBTAINED.
