  • Device for eliminating the curl of sheets emerging from a fixing station
    Patent number: 5187527
    Abstract: An image is fixed to a sheet of paper, in an image reproducing machine in a fixing station (GF). This uses heat and pressure to fix the image. A pair of straightening rolls (24, 26) downstream of the fixing station apply tension to the sheets in the direction of advance and forward them in a direction which inclines by a predetermined angle of correction with respect to the direction (21) with which the sheets leave the fixing station. The straightening rolls form a nip (62) therebetween and this may extend around a portion of the periphery of one of the rolls such that sheets passing therethrough are bent in an opposite direction to their natural direction of curl.
