  • Patent number: 11198580
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. For example, the apparatus includes a paper feed to feed print media a single sheet at a time, a plurality of rotating discs, wherein each one of the plurality of rotating discs comprises an elastomer ring to secure a leading edge of the single sheet against a registration wall and initiate a flipping process, a curved baffle positioned above the plurality of rotating discs and the single sheet, an air duct located above the plurality of rotating discs and the single sheet to force an air flow towards the curved baffle, wherein the air flow follows a shape of the curved baffle to create a low pressure zone above the single sheet to keep a trailing edge of the single sheet levitated during completion of the flipping process, and a movable platform to hold a stack of the print media.

  • Patent number: 9126706
    Abstract: A printer filter packaging apparatus includes a base for supporting a filter having delicate filter media. Side wraps extend from two opposite sides of the base and cover two opposite sides of the filter. A rear wrap includes a handle, and covers a rear and a top of the filter. A front wrap defines a slit for receiving the handle; the front wrap covers the top and a front of the filter. The wrapped or covered filter may be lifted by the handle, the filter being supported by a combination of the base and front, rear, and side wraps.

  • Publication number: 20140022319
    Abstract: An ink delivery system for transporting thermally treated ink from different ink reservoirs to multiple print he ads of an imaging device includes a rigid injector assembly, and multiple pliable tubes attached to the injector assembly. The injector assembly includes two T-shaped members made of a conducting material, positioned one a top the of her. Each of the two members has grooves provided within it. The grooves within one of the members align with the grooves within the other member, to create channels, which carry ink to the pliable tubes. The pliable tubes are made of a flexible material, such that the lower end of each pliable tube is freely movable with respect to the injector assembly. A heating mechanism surrounds the injector assembly and the pliable tube, and remains in thermal communication with the system, to keep the ink in molten state all through the transportation path within the ink delivery system.

  • Patent number: 8434589
    Abstract: A method and system for reducing or eliminating banding in a rendering device caused by pressure pulsations from a blower. The pressure pulsation frequency resulting from a plurality of pressure pulsations propagated from a blower can be reduced by forming an obstruction device at an outlet of the blower. Total airflow and total pressure propagated by the blower are maintained by modifying or removing an existing restrictor plate thereby reducing acoustic noise associated with the pressure pulsations in a xerographic cavity.
