Abstract

A mechanism for adjustable installation of band plate-like members facilitates the separate adjustment of a cylindrical mirror in the normal direction of the reflecting face of the mirror, in a direction intersecting the normal direction, and the orientation of the reflecting face. A mirror holder housing a cylindrical mirror is disposed in a frame. Support shafts of the mirror holder penetrate holder plates attached slidably to the frame. Adjustment plates are linked to the ends of the support shafts from outside the holder plates, which are slid to allow the mirror holder to move in the normal direction of the reflecting surface of the mirror. The adjustment plate is rotated with respect to the holder plate to rotate about the support shafts and slides with respect to the holder plate and moves in a direction different from the normal direction to adjust the magnification, register, and skew of the mirror.

Claims (15)

1. A mechanism for adjustable installation of the surface of a band plate-like member supported at both ends thereof comprising:

a band plate-like member;

a container, said container having at least one opening on a side to allow a surface of said band plate-like member to be exposed from the opening;

a mechanism coupled to said band plate-like member for adjustment thereof; and

support shafts linkable to said mechanism for adjustable installation provided on both ends of said container, wherein:

said support shafts are extended in a longitudinal direction of the band plate-like member;

each of said support shafts is loosely fitted into a through hole formed on a holder plate so as to allow the support shaft to be freely decentered within the through hole;

an adjustment plate is linked to a portion of said support shaft projecting outwardly from said holder plate; and

said adjustment plate is moved relative to the holder plate in a direction intersecting the support shaft and said adjustment plate is rotated relative to the holder plate to thereby make said band plate-like member rotatable about the support shaft.

2. The mechanism for adjustable installation of the band plate-like member according to claim 1 , wherein said band plate-like member has a flat surface.

3. The mechanism for adjustable installation of the band plate-like member according to claim 2 , wherein said support shaft is moved to thereby make said band plate-like member movable in a direction of thickness of said band plate-like member.

4. The mechanism for adjustable installation of the band plate-like member according to claim 2 , wherein said support shaft is moved to thereby make said band plate-like member movable in a direction of width of said band plate-like member.

5. The mechanism for adjustable installation of the band plate-like member according to claim 1 , wherein said band plate-like member has a cylindrical surface.

6. The mechanism for adjustable installation of the band plate-like member according to claim 5 , wherein said support shaft is moved to thereby make said band plate-like member movable in a direction of normal of a surface of said band plate-like member.

7. The mechanism for adjustable installation of the band plate-like member according to claim 5 , wherein said support shaft is moved to thereby make said band plate-like member movable in a direction intersecting a normal of a surface of said band plate-like member.
