  • ROOFING SHINGLES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND AFFIXING SAME
    Publication number: 20090139175
    Abstract: A roofing shingle (20) comprises a web (22) having a shingle major dimension (24) and a shingle minor dimension (26). The web (22) in turn comprises a headlap portion (30) and plural tabs (32). The headlap portion (30) extends along a web first edge (34) which is parallel to the shingle major dimension. The plural tabs (32) are formed along a web second edge (36) which is parallel to the web first edge. Adjacent ones of the plural tabs (32) are separated by a cut out (40). The cut out (40) extends in the shingle minor dimension (26). As formed, each of the plural tabs (30) has a greater extent along the shingle minor dimension (26) than along the shingle major dimension (24).

  • Closed loop scuffer for sheet handling
    Patent number: 7527260
    Abstract: This is a paper-handling system using a motor driven frictional drive element to push a paper sheet into a compiling tray. The tray has a registration wall where a paper sheet is abutted to align a paper stack. The system uses a sensor to convey relevant information to the motor and drive element as to the location of the top paper sheet vis-à-vis the registration wall. By instructing the motor and drive element on the top sheets location, better and more consistent paper-stacking alignment is accomplished.

  • Printing system with inverter disposed for media velocity buffering and registration
    Patent number: 7421241
    Abstract: Parallel printing systems and methods incorporate inverter assemblies for not only inverting media during transport through the system but also to register the media or provide a velocity buffer transports with different drive velocities. The inverter assemblies can include the capability to optionally deskew the media and provide lateral registration corrections. The inverter assembly nip rollers are sufficiently spaced from process drive nip rollers to decouple a document in the inverter assembly from the highway paths. The method comprises combining the inverting function selectively with either the registering or the velocity buffering functions.
