DE2024526B2 - Portable photocopier for sheets or cards in files - allows copying of documents while in the file or index - Google Patents

Abstract

The portable photocopier is for copying sheets or cards while in an index file in an inclined position and comprises on its outer surface a hollow file in an inclined position and comprises on its outer surface a hollow wedge-shaped housing portion (10) in one surface of which is an opening, a camera (22) with a lens for photographing the plane of the opening in a perpendicular direction, and an illuminating device (26) which projects a light beam in the direction of the opening. The wedge-shaped portion is inserted in the index file between two cards or sheets (14) which are inclined in opposite directions, with the opening disposed adjacent to the sheet (20) to be copied.
