Abstract

A device for photocopying a document to produce two partial documents for secure transmission. A transparent sheet is placed on the cover glass and has a pattern thereon of portions which are complementary along longitudinally equal shift distances. There is a frame having the transparent sheet attached to the bottom thereof and including parallel side members. A holder is disposed within the frame and on the transparent sheet between the side members for longitudinal sliding a document over the pattern between a first position and a second position located at the equal shift distance. The holder comprises a top member and a transparent carrier member slidably disposed on the transparent sheet and attached to the top member for sliding movement in combination therewith with a document to be photocopied therebetween. The holder is moveable between the first position and the second position. A combined stop and detent prevents the holder from sliding too far and resiliently holds the holder in the positions. The top member includes a gripping tab extending beyond the frame for gripping to move the top member between the positions. Touch fastener material may be employed to releasably attach the gripping tab to a surface of the photocopy machine so that the frame can be moved relative to the top member to prevent document top/bottom margin loss.
