Scanner head for optically scanning master documents line by line e.g. for fax machines and copiers

摘要

The scanner head has a lens (11) and/or a mirror (12) fastened to a lens carrier (16). A point (6) of the optical axis is moved as a reference point between the lines of the document and the line sensor (13) on a V-shaped path. The lens carrier is arranged between two points which run on respective curved tracks, and may be the middle arm of a hinged rectangle.
