Abstract: Push On and Pull Off Schrader and Presta Valve Air Filler Pump Head is disclosed. By using a simple sliding motion and a complete redesign on how the nozzle engages the valve, the invention takes into account the natural action of a hand performing the action where the fingers would naturally be especially in a tight space like that of one that could be encountered between spokes. The invention also takes advantage of dominant muscle groups in the hand and fingers to make the motion of valve engagement and disengagement easier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods for charging mobile devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to a charging station where individuals, who are in need of charging their mobile devices but do not have access to a personal charger, can charge their devices for a small fee without requiring them to be tethered to an unprotected charging cord or electrical outlet.

Abstract: A system for registering print media includes a media tray configured to hold a plurality of sheets of print media, a pick assembly configured to pick a sheet of the print media from the media tray and route the sheet to a media path, and a registration assembly positioned in the media path after the pick assembly. The registration assembly is configured to sense the sheet in the media path and operate for a predetermined time based on an amount of the print media in the media tray to register the sheet in the media path such that the predetermined time increases as the amount of the print media in the media tray decreases.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a sheet feed apparatus for an electronic device are disclosed. The sheet feed apparatus includes a mount pick arm that pivotally moves closer to a stack of media as the media is picked from the stack of media. A pick arm is pivotally connected to the mount pick arm and picks media from the stack of media.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a housing having a cavity therein, a linkage arm disposed within the cavity, an input media tray movably latched to the housing, and an input media tray latch coupled to the linkage arm and releasably engaged with the input media tray. Moving the linkage arm places the imaging apparatus in an operational mode, and releases the input media tray latch and unlatches the input media tray from the housing.

Abstract: A sheet feed apparatus includes a first surface configured to extend along a first face of a stack of print media, a media driving surface configured to contact a second opposite face of the print media and a second surface configured to extend along an edge of the stack of print media.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a housing, and a media tray latchably attached to the housing. The imaging apparatus includes an operational mode that is coupled with a latch of the media tray.
