摘要： An attaching and securing apparatus for removably attaching a first module of an office machine to a second module thereof. The attaching and securing a pparatus includes (a) a first I ug m ember on the first module having a first set of aligning features and a first screw receiving hole; (b) a second lug member on the second module having a second screw receiving hole for aligning with the first screw receiving hole, and a second set of aligning features for aligning with the first set of aligning features; (c) a ratchet device located inside at least one of the first and the second screw receiving holes for receiving and retaining a screw inserted therethrough, the ratchet device including at least one biased and deflectable spring member having a first normal position for reducing a diameter of the at least one screw receiving hole, and a second deflected position for engaging threads of an inserted screw and for effectively retaining the inserted screw within the first and the second screw receiving holes; and (d) a removable screw for manually and easily inserting through the first and the second screw receiving holes, the screw having a root diameter, surface features, and an outside diameter essentially equal to the diameter of each of the first and the second screw receiving holes, thereby enabling easy manual securing and removable attachment of the first module of the office machine to the second module thereof.

摘要： A sheet stacking and lifting cassette tray assembly for reliably and effectively feeding sheets of different basis weight for use in a reproduction machine. The sheet stacking and lifting cassette tray assembly includes a cassette frame (300) including a frame floor (302), and frame side walls (304,306); a plurality (310) of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies mounted within, and to, the frame side walls for applying selectable values of sheet lifting normal forces against a sheet feedhead. Each sheet stacking and lifting subassembly of the plurality of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies includes a pivotable stacking and supporting plate (320,330), and a set of springs (322,324,332,334) having a spring rate for providing a normal force having a particular value for lifting a stack of sheets. The sheet stacking and lifting cassette tray assembly also includes a selecting device (104) for engaging a first number of the plurality of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies so as to prevent the first number of the plurality of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies from applying a normal force for lifting, thus varying a number of the sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies applying a normal force to a stack of sheets of a given basis weight, and thereby enabling reliable and effective feeding of sheets from such stack without sheet feeding miscues.

The sheet stacking and lifting cassette tray assembly includes a cassette frame (300) including a frame floor (302), and frame side walls (304,306); a plurality (310) of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies mounted within, and to, the frame side walls for applying selectable values of sheet lifting normal forces against a sheet feedhead.

The sheet stacking and lifting cassette tray assembly also includes a selecting device (104) for engaging a first number of the plurality of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies so as to prevent the first number of the plurality of sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies from applying a normal force for lifting, thus varying a number of the sheet stacking and lifting subassemblies applying a normal force to a stack of sheets of a given basis weight, and thereby enabling reliable and effective feeding of sheets from such stack without sheet feeding miscues.
