Optical path folding apparatus
First Claim
1. An optical path folding apparatus, which is suitable for guiding an incident light to a lens set, comprising:
- a first portion receiving the incident light and reflecting a first light beam;
a second portion receiving the first light beam and reflecting a second light beam;
a third portion receiving the second light beam and reflecting a third light beam;
a fourth portion receiving the third light beam and reflecting a fourth light beam;
a fifth portion receiving the fourth light beam and reflecting a fifth light beam; and
a sixth portion receiving the fifth light beam and reflecting a sixth light beam to the lens set;
wherein the first portion and the fifth portion are coplanar, and the second portion, the fourth portion and the sixth portion are coplanar.

Abstract
An optical path folding apparatus of the present invention receives an incident light and reflects a reflection light on a lens set. The optical path folding apparatus comprises a first portion receiving the incident light and reflecting a first light beam, a second portion receiving the first light beam and reflecting a second light beam, a third portion receiving the second light beam and reflecting a third light beam, a fourth portion receiving the third light beam and reflecting a fourth light beam, a fifth portion receiving the fourth light beam and reflecting a fifth light beam, and a sixth portion receiving the fifth light beam and reflecting a reflection light on the lens set. In a preferred embodiment, the first portion and the fifth portion are coplanar on a first mirror, while the second portion, the fourth portion and the sixth portion are coplanar on a second mirror. Light reflected from a scanned object forms an image on the CCD by means of the lens set, wherein the light is reflected six times by the optical path folding apparatus.
