Patent number: 11861432Abstract: A cleaning system for cleaning a media transport device includes a cleaning substrate sized and configured to be inserted within at least a portion of a media travel pathway of a media transport device. The cleaning substrate comprises a cleaning face, along with a handle extending from the cleaning face. The handle is positioned to remain outside of the media transport device while the cleaning face is within the media transport device. The cleaning face comprises a plurality of cleaning elements, each of which is positioned to align with a belt, a drive roller, an idle roller, a drive roller/idle roller pair, or a sensor of the media transport device when the cleaning substrate within the media travel pathway. Methods of using a handled cleaning substrate are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: KICTeam, Inc.Inventors: Glen Bailey, Geoffrey Scott Caron, Ian Mccormick, Byron Mehl Kern, II, Kenneth Monroe Pedersen, III, John Condon, Joshua Lee Larsen

Patent number: 11110492Abstract: A system and method for cleaning a media transport device includes a cleaning card having a first end portion and a second end portion. The system may also include a handled cleaning card holder. The handled cleaning card holder is configured to secure the cleaning card at a first end portion and allow access to the second end portion of the cleaning card for use in cleaning. The cleaning card may configured to be rotatable at least 180° within or upon the handled cleaning card holder, or it may be rotated by hand to be used in at least two directions.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: KICTEAM, INC.Inventors: Glen Bailey, Geoffrey Scott Caron, Ian McCormick, John Condon, Byron Mehl Kern, II, Kenneth Monroe Pedersen, III

Patent number: 10860902Abstract: A system for cleaning a media transport device includes a cleaning substrate sized and configured to fit within at least a portion of a media travel pathway of the transport device. The cleaning substrate includes scarifying holes that scrape debris from media conveyors (belts and/or rollers) of the transport device. Cleaning the transport device may include positioning the cleaning substrate in the section while operating the transport device, or moving the substrate so that the scarifying holes contact the cleaning substrate and clean the belts and/or rollers.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: KICTEAM, INC.Inventors: Glen Bailey, Geoffrey Scott Caron, Ian McCormick, John Condon, Byron Mehl Kern, II, Kenneth Monroe Pedersen, III

Patent number: 10839270Abstract: A system for cleaning a media transport device includes a cleaning substrate sized and configured to fit within at least a portion of a media travel pathway of the transport device. The cleaning substrate includes a cleaning face and a set of cleaning tabs that extend from the cleaning face. In use, the cleaning tabs are positioned against a set of rollers inside the currency transport device to secure the cleaning substrate in a substantially fixed position within the currency transport device. When the device is operated, the tabs are secured by the rollers and also clean the rollers.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: KICTEAM, INC.Inventors: Glen Bailey, Geoffrey Scott Caron, Ian McCormick, John Condon, Byron Mehl Kern, II, Kenneth Monroe Pedersen, III

Patent number: 10307796Abstract: A media transport device is cleaned by using a cleaning substrate sized and configured to fit within at least a portion of a media travel pathway of the transport device. A locking member may secure the cleaning substrate in a substantially fixed position within the transport device while the transport device is operated. The cleaning substrate also may include scarifying holes that scrape debris from media conveyors of the transport device, and flaps that fit under and clean belts of the transport device. Cleaning the transport device may include opening a section, positioning the cleaning substrate in the section without operating the media conveyors' motor, closing the section and then operating the transport device so that the media conveyors move, contact the cleaning substrate and are cleaned while the cleaning substrate remains substantially fixed within the transport device.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: KICTeam, Inc.Inventors: Glen Bailey, Geoffrey Scott Caron, Ian McCormick, John Condon, Byron Mehl Kern, II, Kenneth Monroe Pedersen, III
