DEFINITION

Classification: 355/18

(under the class definition) Subject matter including an apparatus or a method for projecting an image of an original, by passing light through or around the original or reflecting light from the original, on a photosensitive recording surface for the purpose of making a copy of the original; the image is usually enlarged or reduced in size with respect to the original and the apparatus contains a projection lens or lens system for forming the image.

(1) Note. See the Glossary in Class Definition of this class (355) for further explanation of how a Copying Camera or Projection Printer operates.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

1, for photocopying involving fiber optics.

2, for photocopying a halogram, seismogram, graph, or scale.

133, for means to photocopy an original where the original and photosensitive paper are spaced apart (i.e., not contact printing) but where there is no lens between them.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

226, Advancing Material of Indeterminate Length, especially

52+, for film advancing means in a copy camera where no more than one optical of photocopying element is claimed and where no detailed optical or photocopying element is recited.

235, Registers, for a detailed register in combination with a broadly or specifically claimed copying camera.

242, Winding, Tensioning, or Guiding,

324+, for unwinding and rewinding a machine convertible information carrier; e.g., an image film, with no more than a typical relationship between an optical system and the unwinding/rewinding, and subclasses 520+ for convolute winding of an elongated material of general use.

250, Radiant Energy,

317.1, for document copies using infrared or thermal patterns of the document on a copy paper, and subclasses 580+ for methods and apparatus to expose a recording detector to invisible radiation patterns generally.

271, Sheet Feeding or Delivering, for a sheet feeding or delivering subcombination where no specific optical or photos:graphic structure is set forth.

346, Recorders,

107.1+, for phenomenal information optical recorders, and particularly subclass 107.2 for such apparatus including a camera.

347, Incremental Printing of Symbolic Information, 224+, for apparatus or processes using light or beam for printing the information.

352, Optics: Motion Pictures, for photocopying, apparatus and methods involving a motion picture cameras or a motion picture projector.

359, Optics: Systems (Including Communication) and Elements, for lenses in

642+, reflectors in subclasses 838+, and optical filters in subclasses 885+.

362, Illumination,

3, and 257 for photos:graphic and projection light source subcombinations, which may include condenser lenses having no other projection printing structure.

386, Television Signal Processing for Dynamic Recording or Reproducing,

42+, and 130 for a photos:graphic recorder in combination with detailed television means for first transmitting an image of the original to the surface of a cathode-ray tube and then photographing the image.

396, Photography, appropriate subclasses and particularly

322+, for plural image recording and subclasses 429+ for a nominal or broadly recited cathode-ray tube upon which a television image of an original is formed and then photographed.

399, Electrophotography, subject matter under 364, for duplex copying where an electrophotos:graphic copying apparatus is employed.

430, Radiation Imagery Chemistry: Process, Composition, or Product Thereof, appropriate subclasses for photocopying involving chemical process or materials.
