Abstract: This invention relates to a feed device which automatically straightens sheets prior to their being fed.A nudge wheel feeds the paper into the apparatus against a registration gate thereby straightening the sheet.At the appropriate time, a solenoid actuated clutch initiates a mechanically sequenced series of events which raise a set of feed tires so as to pinch (hold and secure) the previously straightened sheet, lower the registration gate out of the paper path, and start the feed tires and allow the sheet to be fed.At a second appropriate time after the sheet has been fed, the solenoid clutch is de-energized. Stored energy in a spring is used to mechanically reverse the sequence, whereby the feed tires are lowered out of the paper path and the registration gate is raised up into the paper path, preparatory to the next sheet.

Abstract: A canister arrangement for refilling a pharmaceutical dispenser. The dispenser can hold a predetermined number of pills, tablets, or capsules at one time. Since the canister arrangement can hold considerably more than the dispenser can, the canister is able to fill the dispenser to capacity multiple times before the canister must be refilled. The canister has a housing and one or more chambers in the housing. When a plurality of chambers is present, at least one of the chambers has a sloping floor at the bottom of the housing. A swinging door is disposed between each pair of adjacent chambers. The swinging door(s) are automatically activated when the dispensing apparatus senses that the dispenser and the previous chamber are both empty. An opening is also provided at the bottom of the housing. A sliding door covers the opening to prevent pills, tablets and capsules from exiting the housing. The sliding door is automatically opened upon the occurrence of an external condition, such as when the dispensing apparatus senses that the dispenser is empty.

Abstract: The disclosed rotatable disks type sheet inverting, registration and stacking system has finger units, with sheet carrying slots, which are mounted to the disk units for variable radial movement. These finger units automatically adjust their radius to release sheets from their respective slots closely adjacent to the top of the output stack of sheets at their registration position to automatically compensate for variations in the height of said stack of sheets, preferably by limited force engagement of the ends of the fingers with the top of the stack. Preferably the finger units are radially pivotally outwardly lightly spring loaded to provide a transporting and inverting position for the sheets in the sheet slots which is at a substantially greater radius than the reduced radius thereof in releasing the sheets at the stacking registration position. A vertically movable sheet hold-down bail system is automatically actuated in coordination with the release of the sheet to only engage the sheet when it is very closely adjacent to the top of the stack.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cross-mixer for a developer system of a photocopier, particularly one with a two component development system, which mixes the developer mixture (1) to assure uniform lateral distribution of the toner, (2) to assure uniform concentration of the toner mixture and (3) to triboelectrically charge the developer mixture.Adjacently offset rows of V-shaped baffles successively divide and intermix the developer mixture. Angled lifting plates interposed between successive rows of baffles scoop and lift the mixture so as to triboelectrically charge the same.

Abstract: A self-contained, fully automated system for dispensing medicants into vials. Prescriptions are entered using a built-in workstation. Vials of several sizes are each contained in preloaded cassettes. Upon command from a computer, a vial is released and labeled with the prescription information. A robotic system moves the labeled vial to the output chute of one of many automated dispensing units that has previously been commanded to count a predetermined number of tablets, pills, or capsules. The filled vial is robotically moved to an optional capping station where a cap is applied if needed. The vial is then moved to an output region where it is sorted with other prescriptions for a customer. The prescription may be checked using the built-in computer workstation. Optionally, the automated dispensing system may be linked to pharmacy control software.

Abstract: This invention relates to an toner cartridge to dispense toner to a developing system in a photocopying device. The cartridge has a primary baffle thereby forming a main chamber and a dispensing chamber. The dispensing chamber is divided into a primary dispensing chamber and a secondary dispensing chamber by a secondary baffle. Apertures are formed in the container adjacent to the secondary dispensing baffle. The cartridge is designed to be rotated in one direction to fill the secondary dispensing chamber with toner, and then rotated in an opposite direction to dispense the toner from the secondary dispensing chamber through the apertures.

Abstract: A system for reducing hydrocarbon emissions from a high speed liquid reprography process. Hydrocarbon ladened vapors from the reprography process are directed through an activated charcoal bed. The bed is regenerated from time to time by a flow of controlled temperature regenerating air. Whereas the reprography process generates hydrocarbons at a highly fluctuating rate and mixed in large volumes of air, the carbon bed regeneration produces hydrocarbons at a controlled rate in a small volume of air. These hydrocarbons are removed by removal means which may be either a catalytic reactor or a condensation device.

Abstract: A braking mechanism for decelerating copy sheets being delivered to a stacking tray of an electrophotographic copier includes pairs of opposing feed rollers disposed at closely adjacent longitudinally spaced locations along the sheet path to the tray. The first pair of rollers are driven at a peripheral velocity equal to that of the upstream portions of the sheet transport assembly, while the second pair of rollers are driven through an overrunning clutch at a peripheral velocity equal to about one-third to one-half the velocity of the first pair of rollers. A copy sheet entering the nip of the second pair of rollers from the first pair of rollers acts as a rigid member to drive the second pair of rollers at the upstream velocity, overrunning the clutch. When the sheet emerges from the upstream nip, frictional drag slows the second pair of rollers down to the slower velocity of their drive source, causing the sheet to be delivered to the copy tray at a relatively low rate of speed to ensure even stacking.
