Patent number: 10061302Abstract: A waste removal and transfer assembly for a 3D printing system comprises a waste material remover and a waste material collector. The waste material remover comprises a movable waste removing element selectively movable into contact with a planerizer roller to remove 3D printing waste material from the planerizer roller. The waste material remover is coupled to translate with the planerizer roller and comprises an opening leading to a waste material receptacle configured to receive waste material and at least one port selectively operable to transfer waste material from the waste receptacle. The waste material collector has a receiving position that is stationary relative to the waste material remover. The waste material collector comprises an opening and a waste material storage recess to receive waste material transferred from the waste material remover via the at least one port and to store the received waste material for subsequent disposal.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: 3D Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jos Wim Jacobs, Nathan Hult, Keith Newell, Keaton Jonathan Daniel Snyder, Jasper Kent Wong, Gustavo Fricke, Scott Summit

Patent number: 7753510Abstract: An ink stick for use in a phase change ink printer includes a first portion of a solid ink stick body, the first portion being formed of a first material of a phase change ink composition. The ink stick also includes a second portion of the solid ink stick body, the second portion being formed of a second material. The first material and the second material combine when the ink stick body is melted.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2006Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Donald R. Titterington, Brent Rodney Jones, David L. Knierim, Barry D. Reeves, Edward F. Burress, Ernest Isreal Esplin, Richard Guy Chambers, Jasper Kent Wong

Patent number: 7743267Abstract: A system and process enable a device to adjust the duration of various power modes based on usage of the device. The process includes operating a device at a fully operational power level, counting a first wait time, modifying a first wait time modifier in response to detection of image generating device use prior to expiration of the first wait time, and reducing power consumption from the fully operational level to a low power level in response to expiration of the first wait time.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2006Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Trevor James Snyder, Amy Rachel Bartlett, Jennifer M. Miyamoto, David Russel Sponable, Jasper Kent Wong, Marcia Dawn Haney, David Paul Platt, Debra Ranee Koehler, Timothy Rob Golik, Mark Harris Tennant

Patent number: 7695126Abstract: An ink stick support for use in an ink loader of a phase change ink imaging device includes an ink stick carrier for receiving and supporting an ink stick. The ink stick carrier includes a loading platform for receiving the ink stick thereon and a substantially vertically oriented back wall extending from a back edge of the base plate. A coupler for removably attaching the ink stick carrier to a drive mechanism of an ink loader.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2006Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brent Rodney Jones, David L. Knierim, Barry D. Reeves, Edward F. Burress, Ernest Isreal Esplin, Richard Guy Chambers, Jasper Kent Wong

Patent number: 7641327Abstract: A removable ink stick support for use in an ink loader of a phase change ink imaging device having a first end for ink stick support proximate a melt end of an ink loader and a second end for ink stick support proximate an insertion end of an ink loader. A longitudinal member extends between the first and second ends, the longitudinal member being configured to provide a contact surface for contacting at least a portion of an ink stick as the ink stick is fed along the feed channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brent Rodney Jones, David L. Knierim, Edward F. Burress, Ernest Isreal Esplin, Richard Guy Chambers, Jasper Kent Wong

Patent number: 7594716Abstract: A solid ink feed system for a phase change ink imaging device includes an ink loader having an insertion area and a melt area. A collapsible support in the ink loader has a first end attached adjacent the melt area and a second end configured to receive at least one ink stick inserted into the ink loader at the insertion area. The first and second ends are connected by a collapsible body configured to support the at least one ink stick and to vary in length corresponding to the distance of the least one ink stick from the melt area of the ink loader.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2006Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brent Rodney Jones, David L. Knierim, Barry D. Reeves, Edward F. Burress, Ernest Isreal Esplin, Richard Guy Chambers, Jasper Kent Wong
