SCANNING DEVICE AND MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DEVICE INCLUDING SAID DEVICE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC H04N1/08 B65H5/26 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a scanning device which includes: a scanning path in which a scanning element is placed for scanning an image with a document; an input path in which a document is input into the scanning path; an output path in which a document is output after completing scanning of the document in the scanning path; and a re-input path which branches off from the output path such that the document, fed along the output path in a direction opposite to that of inputting the document, is re-input into the input path upon completing scanning of one side of the document; and a main frame with which guide portions of one side of the input path, the output path and the re-input path are combined.

EFFECT: reduced defect when inputting documents caused by an assembly error by reducing the number of elements for forming a document input path.
