Abstract: A printing apparatus has a transport module with a moving transport belt that transports strip-like print media past a printhead for printing thereon. The transport module has an entrance region upstream of the printhead, a magazine for the strip-like media located upstream of the entrance region of the transport module, the transport belt also serves as a take-off device to remove the strip-like media from the magazine, the magazine is mounted laterally offset with respect to the transport belt, thereby causing the strip-like media to be captured by the transport belt only in an edge region of the transport belt. The transport belt is wider by the edge region than is precisely needed to transport the strip-like media, in order to print on a remaining region of the strip-like media, which is smaller by the edge region than a total width of said strip-like media.

Abstract: An apparatus for pressing flat materials onto a transport module with a transport belt includes a holding carrier for pressing elements being disposed under a feed table. At least one of the pressing elements is mounted on the holding carrier with a multiplicity of individual resilient or sprung constituent parts, or a multiplicity of pressing elements are disposed on the holding carrier below the transport belt in a transport direction. The pressing elements can protrude through an opening in the feed table, in order to provide suitable pressure from below on the transport belt of the transport module.

Abstract: An apparatus for pressing flat materials onto a transport module includes pressing elements acting on the flat material with a spring force through an opening in a feed table for flat materials. The feed table is mounted above a lower housing shell. The pressing elements are configured as spring elements which can be lowered and are anchored in the lower housing shell. An actuating element is disposed in an indentation of a front wall of the lower housing shell in order to actuate a lowering apparatus disposed in the lower housing shell. The lowering apparatus has a lever connected mechanically to the actuating element and a slide coupled to the lever for lowering the spring elements upon actuation of the actuating element.

Abstract: To provide for adjusted positioning of a pulse sensor (50) against the selected toe of a patient, while the patient is relaxed, and without applying substantial pressure of the sensor against the toe, a base plate is formed with a depression to receive the heel of the foot of the user, and a support element (20) is adjustably positioned on a pair of parallel vertically extending posts (17, 18), projecting from the base plate. The support element is a transverse structure, slidable on the posts, and having a shaft (30) to which a bail (42) is attached. The pulse sensor (50) is mounted on the horizontal portion (48) of the bail, and is slidable along and rotatable about the portion (48). In addition, the bail (42) is slidable sideways (B) with respect to the foot of the user, i.e. across the toes, movable back and forth with respect to the toe to be tested while the pulse sensor (50) is retained against the toe by a spring (34) biasing the shaft, and hence the bail, towards the toe.

Abstract: To permit loose and relaxed position of the hand of a patient over a vasometric apparatus, the apparatus is formed in the shape of a hollow domed housing within which a volume pulse sensor (30) is located, retained with resiliently adjustable bias force such that the sensing surface (33) of the volume pulse sensor extends just slightly above the outer surface of the domed housing. The spring force with which the sensor engages a finger (45) of the patient is adjustable by an externally adjustable disk or wheel (37).
