  • Publication number: 20050212198
    Abstract: A method of operating a vacuum corrugated belt feeder during a feed cycle wherein the paper is taken away by a belt which is activated when a feed clutch is energized, and wherein the vacuum is actuated at the start of the feed cycle and de-actuated prior to, or at the same time as the feed clutch is de-energized. According to an aspect of the invention the improvement comprises pulsing the positive air pressure separator by actuating and de-actuating the positive air pressure separator during the feed cycle, and pulsing the high pressure separator by actuating and de-actuating the high pressure separator during the feed cycle.

  • Patent number: 6657754
    Abstract: This is a passively energized floating guide for a parked head scanner having a scanning glass slit. This floating guide applies pressure to the original papers crossing the scanning glass slit in order to wipe the scanning glass slit, and keep it free from contamination. The floating guide comprises a wiper bar which is pivotally mounted above the scanning glass slit such that it extends from end to end of the scanning glass slit, and it rests on the scanning glass slit when at rest. The weight and pivot point for the wiper bar are chosen such that the force of the original paper rotates the wiper bar and causes the wiper bar to press down on the original as it passes between the wiper bar and the scanning glass slit with sufficient force to clean the glass, but not enough force to jam the paper. This is the case even for lightweight papers. After the paper has passed, the wiper bar pivots back to its initial position.
