ABSTRACT:
An image scanner of the type projecting the image of a document on a one-dimensional image sensor while maintaining the length of an optical path between the image sensor and a document scanning position constant is disclosed. A stop member is fitted on one end of a wire and affixed to a rail. The wire is turned back via a driven pulley rotatably mounted on a half-speed carriage and then affixed to a full-speed carriage at a preselected point of the wire. Subsequently, the wire is again turned back by a driven pulley, and then turned back via a driven pulley rotatably mounted on the half-speed carriage. A stop member is fitted on the other end of the wire and temporarily affixed to the rail.
