  • Patent number: 6043833
    Abstract: The invention concerns a thermal printing ribbon for an office printer and bearing a sequence of coloring areas (3-7) that serve to print a picture in at least one printing zone onto a printing support sheet of specified format. The formats of the consecutive coloring areas (3-7) that serve to print a printing zone are substantially sub-multiples of the format of the printing support sheet but significantly different one from another.The invention is appropriate for color printing by thermal transfer.

  • Patent number: 5417412
    Abstract: A device for separating a stack of sheets in an office machine such as a simile machine, comprising an extractor roller (18), a presser member (14) pressed resiliently in the direction of the roller, and a stop (5) limiting the maximum distance between the extractor roller and the presser member. The stop is mounted so as to slide inside a supporting part (1) in the direction of the presser member. A spring pushes the stop toward the presser member, and a locking collar (11, 12) limits its sliding distance. The presser member is mounted on the supporting part so as to provide an integral device, improving reliability and reducing assembly time.
