Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a copying machine from being distorted by arranging a pair of movable pulleys as pulleys for extending 1st and 2nd wires and tensely coupling respective supporting axes of these movable pulleys through a common spring coil. CONSTITUTION:A tension applying means 18 consists of a pair of fixed guide pins 27, 28, a 1st tension wire 30 extended by connecting one end of a spring coil 29 through the side barrel of the pin 27 and a 2nd tension wire 31 extended by connecting the other end of the spring coil 29 to a supporting shaft 17 of a floating pulley 11 through the side barrel of the pin 28. Although slight size errors or fitting errors may be generated in respective parts of an optical system driving device 1 and the tension between 1st and 2nd wires 12, 13 may be unbalanced sometimes, the unbalanced tension is absorbed by the spring coil 29 because the movable pulleys 10, 11 are pulled through the common spring coil 29, so that excellent copied images can be obtained.

(b) Conventional Technology A known copying machine exposes an image on an image receptor by scanning and moving a first optical system and a second optical system in the left-right direction at a speed ratio of 2:1. For example, the first optical system includes a light source and a mirror, moves in the left-right direction along the document, and irradiates the entire surface of the document with light from the light source. On the other hand, the second optical system uses a mirror and moves in the same direction as the first optical system, but at 1/2 the speed. The light from the original is reflected by the mirror of the first optical system and then by the mirror of the second optical system, and is focused on the rotating electrostatic photoreceptor through two lenses separately provided in the copying machine, and is focused on the electrostatic photoreceptor. form an image. Of course, this electrostatic latent image corresponds to the copy image that is copied onto the paper.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention By the way, independent drive wires (first wire and second wire) are provided on both sides of the scanning paths of both optical systems as described above.
In an optical system drive device with a tensioned optical system, the tension of the drive wires on both sides tends to become unbalanced due to the dimensions and mounting errors of each component, and this causes the drive of both optical systems, especially the first optical system. Parallel driving between the optical system and the second optical system may be impaired, causing distortion in the copied image.
