Scanning device
The present invention relates to a scanning device which includes a housing, a center portion, a document pathway, a document, a rotation conveying means which is placed between said center portion and said document pathway, and an image sensing unit connected to said rotation conveying means, wherein said rotation conveying means rotates, said image sensing unit rotates to conduct scanning onto said document placed at said document pathway. The present invention is able to fit a substantially narrow space of the desk-top by horizontal, vertical and declined-angle positions by the assistance of a stand.
1 . A scanning device comprising:
a housing;
a center portion inside said housing;
a document pathway, placing a document;
a rotation conveying means, placed between said center portion and said document pathway; and
an image sensing unit, connected to said rotation conveying means,
wherein said rotation conveying means rotates in a circle scanning movement said image sensing unit in order to conduct scanning onto said document placed at said document pathway.
2 . The scanning device of claim 1 , further comprising an opening at said housing for inserting said document into said document pathway.
3 . The scanning device of claim 1 , wherein said housing is a tunnel shape.
4 . The scanning device of claim 1 , wherein said housing is a cylinder shape.
5 . The scanning device of claim 1 further comprising a support, connected said center portion and said rotation conveying means.
6 . The scanning device of claim 1 , wherein said image sensing unit is a charge coupled device.
7 . The scanning device of claim 1 , wherein said image sensing unit is a contact image sensor.
8 . A scanning device comprising:
a housing with a column shape;
a center portion inside said housing;
a document pathway for inserting a document circularly though an opening;
a rotation conveying means, placed between said center portion and said document pathway; and
an image sensing unit, connected to said rotation conveying means,
wherein when said rotation conveying means rotates in a circle scanning movement said image sensing unit rotates to conduct scanning onto said document placed at said document pathway.
9 . The scanning device of claim 8 , further comprising a support for holding said housing at an angle.
