Patent number: 6736745Abstract: Seamed belts, particularly puzzle-cut imageable seam intermediate transfer belts, and marking machines that use such belts, that have a beveled sides across the thickness of the belt. When the first and second ends are interlocked the bevel points are adjacent one another and a substantially V-shaped channel is formed. An adhesive is disposed in that channel. The V-shaped channel beneficially continuously extends along the puzzle-cut seam.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Joseph A.

Patent number: 6440515Abstract: Seamed belts having puzzle-cut seam with edges that are themselves puzzle-cut: puzzle-cut on puzzle-cut seamed belts. Such belts beneficially may take the form of imageable seam intermediate transfer belts such as those used in marking machines. Belts are formed from a substrate having a puzzle-cut first end and a puzzle-cut second end that interlock to form a seam. That first end includes puzzle-cut tabs that have puzzle-cut edges and the second end includes puzzle-cut tabs that also have puzzle-cut edges. The first end and the second end interlock such that the puzzle tabs and the puzzle-cut edges mate to form the seam. Beneficially an adhesive is disposed over the seam. If the seamed belt is an imageable seam intermediate transfer belt the substrate is beneficially semiconductive.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Constance J.

Patent number: 6436502Abstract: Imageable seamed intermediate transfer belts having a large seam surface area, and marking machines that use such imageable seam intermediate transfer belts. A belt is formed from an electrically semiconductive substrate having a first end and a second end that are mated to form a seam. The first end includes a first tongue and the second end includes a second tongue that form a rabbeted joint such that the outer surface of the belt is substantially smooth across the seam. An adhesive is disposed over the rabbeted joint. The tongues may include mechanical locking features, such a protrusion and a channel, or an interlocking puzzle-cut feature that mate. The mechanical locking features may be continuous along the seam.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Joseph A. Swift, Santokh S.
