Patent number: 11267197Abstract: Examples of recoater carriages in an additive manufacturing system are described. In one case, a recoater carriage assembly has an elongate powder build material spreader, such as a roller, to spread powder build material in use. The recoater carriage assembly has a recoater carriage to support the spreader. The spreader is to engage and to disengage from the recoater carriage by movement of the spreader non-concentrically to a longitudinal axis of the spreader.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jordi Gimenez, Gerard Mosquera, Joaquim Brugue

Patent number: 7766569Abstract: The method comprises the steps of feeding media from a media roll, arranged about an axis, through an input driving device and an output driving device of the media advance mechanism, wherein the output driving device engages the media with lower friction than said input driving device; releasing said input driving device such that it does not engage the media; and causing the media to move in the media advance mechanism such that the media is pulled taut between the roll and the output driving device and later the media slips with respect to said output driving device, whereby the media is aligned at right angles to the roll axis by effect of the friction between the media and the output driving device.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2007Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Eduardo Martin, Martin Urrutia, Antonio Monclus, Jordi Gimenez, David Claramunt

Patent number: 6379064Abstract: To assemble a printer chassis comprising three structural aluminium beams extending between two structural sideplates, the printer carriage beam is first attached to the sideplates by means of attachment points arranged along a straight line and then the printing beam and lower beam are attached to provide a vibration- and deformation-resistant chassis relative to which all the other printer components are referenced. Slider rods are mounted on the printer carriage beam by means of screws which hold the rods against the beam to keep them straight. The screws also pass through apertures in rod supports, the apertures being sized to permit longitudinal thermal movements of the rods relative to the beam.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Robert Giles, Jordi Gimenez, Rajan Ramaswamy, Emilio Angulo, Fernando Juan, Ventura Caamano, Richard H Lewis, Antoni Monclus
