Patent number: 11299363Abstract: Example implementations relate to print media stacks. In some examples, a device may include a sheet channel to guide a sheet of print media within the sheet channel above and separated in a vertical direction from a stack of printed media when the sheet of print media exits a print path of a printer. The device may include a plurality of clamps to control alignment of the sheet of print media on the stack of printed media when the sheet channel moves outboard from the sheet of print media to allow the sheet of print media to fall onto the stack of printed media, wherein the plurality of clamps sequentially pin the sheet of print media to the stack of printed media from a middle portion of the sheet of print media outward.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Robert Scott Beale, Elliott Downing, Robert Yraceburu, Bruce Johnson, Cristopher Royce Jansson, Stuart Scofield, Francisco Javier Gomez, Jonathon Cha Spafford, Catherine Elizabeth Gould, Tom McCue, Matthew Douglas Reier

Patent number: 11072510Abstract: Example described herein relate to a print shoes. For instance, a print shoe can include a body including a first surface, a first arm extending from the first surface and including a first mounting mechanism to couple to a spring, and a second arm extending from the first surface in a position substantially coplanar with the first arm, where the second arm includes a second mounting mechanism to couple to the spring and dispose the first arm a distance away from the second arm when coupled to the spring.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Tom McCue, Lonny Morgan, Catherine Elizabeth Gould, Anthony W Ebersole, Robert Yraceburu, Elliott Downing, Robert Scott Beale, Bruce G Johnson

Patent number: 10894683Abstract: An example system includes an advancement mechanism to drive print medium into a stacking region, a clamping mechanism, and a controller. The clamping mechanism includes a trailing edge clamping arrangement in a trailing edge portion of the stacking region and at least one downstream clamping arrangement in a downstream portion of the stacking region, the downstream portion being downstream of the trailing edge portion. The controller is to sequentially actuate the trailing edge clamping arrangement and the at least one downstream clamping arrangement when the advancement mechanism transports a print medium into the stacking region.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2016Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Steve O Rasmussen, Bruce G Johnson, Elliott Downing, Robert Scott Beale, Lonny Morgan
