Optical device in variable magnification electrostatic copying apparatus.
摘要
<p>An optical device in a variable magnification electrostatic copying apparatus. The optical device comprises a first reflecting mirror assembly mounted for reciprocal movement, a second reflecting mirror assembly mounted for reciprocal movement substantially parallel to the reciprocating direction of the first reflecting mirror assembly, and a speed-reduction interlocking mechanism for moving the second reflecting mirror assembly at a speed one-second of the moving speed of the first reflecting mirror assembly according to the movement of the first reflecting mirror assembly. The optical device further includes a magnification setting mechanism for changing the relative position of the second reflecting mirror assembly to the first reflecting mirror assembly according to a magnification of copying. The magnification setting mechanism comprises a setting cam having a plurality of acting portions corresponding to a plurality of magnification values and a setting member adapted to be held by the setting cam at any one of a plurality of setting positions corresponding to the plurality of magnification values. The changing of the position of the setting member causes a change in the relative position of the second reflecting mirror assembly to the first reflecting mirror assembly.</p>
