  • Publication number: 20230129634
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include an input tray coupled to a media path and an output tray to receive media from the media path. The output tray may be automatically positioned to an open position based on the media being inputted into the input tray. A movable section may be movably coupled to the output tray. In some examples, the movable section may automatically move relative to the output tray based on the output tray being automatically positioned to the open position.

  • Patent number: 10855861
    Abstract: One example includes a device that is comprised of a cover housing, a reflective sheet, a coupler, and a fastener. The reflective sheet may hold media against a planar transparent scanning area of the device. The coupler may removably attach the reflective sheet to the cover housing, the coupler having a resilient member to exert an axial restoring force between the reflective sheet and the cover housing. The fastener may fix the coupler to the reflective sheet.

  • Patent number: 10576768
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a device including a frame with a transparent panel. In examples, the device includes a frame defining an opening of a scanner sub-assembly, the frame including a first side and a second side in contact with the first side; and a transparent panel coupled to the frame to cover the opening, a first side of the transparent panel disposed to be substantially planar with a first side of the frame, and a second side of the transparent panel disposed to be substantially planar with the second side of the frame.

  • Patent number: 10112789
    Abstract: A contact interface includes a first contact member including a first contact surface with a first material subsurface and a second material subsurface. The second material subsurface protrudes transversely above the first material subsurface. A second contact member includes a second contact surface to slide in contact with the first contact surface. The first material subsurface comprises a first material. The second material subsurface comprises a second material. The second material has a lower hardness than the first material.

  • Publication number: 20170113852
    Abstract: A container locking device for deterring unauthorized access to a container or containers includes a frame that has an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter defining a band. A plurality of penetrations is positioned in the band. The device also comprises a support that has an outer edge and an inner edge defining a strip. Each of a plurality of ties is flexible and has a first terminus and a second terminus. Each of the first termini is coupled to the outer edge of the support. Each of the plurality of ties has a plurality of fasteners coupled proximate to a respective one of the second termini.
