ABSTRACT:
An improved image processor construction is disclosed in which a carrier driving electric motor is located in a housing of the image processor. Generally, a carrier mechanism is driven by an electric motor to scan an original and thereby to read an image on the original. According to the invention, the electric motor is disposed within a housing of the image processor so that any portions projecting outward from the housing can be eliminated and an outer size of the image processor can be correspondingly reduced. More specifically, a housing of the image processor includes a bottom plate having a downward recess and the electric motor is disposed within this downward recess. A loop of driving belt is draped on a driving pulley fixed around an output shaft of the electric motor, on one end, and on the longitudinal middle point of a driving shaft, on the other end, so as to transmit a rotation force of the electric motor to the driving shaft. In this manner, no part of the electric motor projects outward from the housing and the outer size of the housing can be correspondingly reduced.
