  • Camming method and apparatus for controlling color developers for non-contact development
    Patent number: 7809311
    Abstract: A developer camming apparatus connected to a developer unit, including a slide, a motor, and an encoder, wherein the encoder determines a distance a developer unit is from the photoreceptor, wherein the encoder allows the developer unit to be sufficiently close to effect application of toner to the photoreceptor from the developer unit, but also does not allow the developer unit to contact the photoreceptor during a print job.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 5, 2010
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: James M. Casella, Roger D. Masham, Andrew E. Taylor, Jeremy B. Lewis, Peter J. Keilty

  • Drive mechanisms
    Patent number: 5482511
    Abstract: A drive mechanism including a toothed pulley and a device for retaining mesh between the teeth of the pulley and the teeth of a belt after assembly thereto. The retaining device includes a retaining member positioned adjacent a toothed section of the pulley defining a space therebetween enabling the belt to fit between the retaining member and the toothed section of the pulley when the teeth are in mesh, the space between an apex or crown of a pulley tooth and the surface of the retaining member opposite thereto being smaller than the maximum thickness of the toothed belt thereby ensuring a mesh between the teeth of the belt and pulley to provide a synchronized drive therebetween.
