摘要:
A sheet sorter which has a plurality of sheet receiving bins which comprises an array of movable plates such that adjacent plates define an individual bin, is provided with a quadrant plate for indexing the input ends of the bin plates past a fixed feed throat to align the bin opening in line with the feed throat for sheet insertion. Adjacent bin plates are interconnected to limit their maximum spacing apart, and are movable apart and together for varying the size of the bin openings. The bin plates are spaced apart opposite and at one side of the feed throat and are spaced together when indexed past the feed throat to the other side of the feed throat. Preferably the bin plates are arrayed in a vertically oriented fan-like array and the quadrant plate is rotatable about an axis.

A device and method for the alignment, in up to six degrees of freedom, of printheads in a printer is disclosed. The device has a support, wherein the printhead is secured to a substantially center location of the support. The device further has a fixed plate biased against the support by plurality of first screws extending substantially in a Z direction, a plurality of a second screws extending substantially in a Y direction, and a third screw extending substantially in an X direction. The fixed plate, and thus the printhead, may be translated in each of the X, Y and Z directions and may be rotated about each of the X, Y, and Z axes by manipulation of the screws to achieve possible alignment in all six degrees of freedom.

A post-printer open-architecture device includes a document input region for receiving documents from a document printing apparatus and a document output region for outputting post-processed documents. An open-architecture document post-processing region is located intermediate the document input and output regions and includes a transport surface for conveying documents from the document input region to the document output region. A module mounting assembly releasably receives and secures at least one document post-processing module in an operative position to perform one or more post-processing operations on a document conveyed on the transport surface. Suitable post-processing modules to be connected to the module mounting assembly include ink-jet printing modules, color application modules, magnetic ink character recognition conversion modules, magnetic ink character recognition verification modules, bar-code reader modules, brail embossing modules, perforation modules, slitting modules, foil application modules, envelope stuffing modules, and postage metering modules.

A disposable wrapper is disclosed which is adapted to hold a supply of copy sheets in the form of a pack equivalent to a plurality of reams for a printing machine. The wrapper is constructed of two main portions which permit the operator to carry the stack to a sheet supply platform for the machine without disrupting the stack. One of the portions of the wrapper stiffens the pack and serves to permit the operator to carry and place the stack upon the platform. The other portion is in the form of a flexible strip wrapped around the pack and which may be slidably removed from under the stack thus effecting the loading of the stack in the printing machine preparatory to the sheet feed operation.

A disposable carton is disclosed which is adapted to hold a stack of copy sheets equivalent to a plurality of reams for a printing machine. The carton is constructed of portions which are sequentially removed to expose the stack and permit the operator to carry the stack to a sheet supply platform without disrupting the stack. A remaining portion of the carton which serves to permit the operator to place the stack upon the platform is adapted to be slideably removed from under the stack thus effecting the loading of the stack in the printing machine preparatory to the sheet feed operation.
摘要:
A compact sheet sorting apparatus having a first modular assembly which includes a plurality of bins and a second modular assembly which includes a sheet transport for transporting sheets along the inlets of the bins. The second modular assembly is juxtaposed with the first assembly and is pivotally mounted to move from a first position when in a sorting mode of operation to a second position opened away from the first assembly to provide access thereto.

Sheet distributing apparatus for a sorter which includes a plurality of bins for receiving copy sheets advanced from a processor. Extending along the sheet path adjacent to the inlets of the bins are a pair of helical screw members which rotatably support and advance a carriage carrying deflector members which direct the copy sheets into the bins. The drive for rotating the helical screw members include a motor spring which drive a single revolution latching device to provide intermittent movement of the carriage past the inlets of each of the bins. A clutch which is connected to the drive of the sheet transport rewinds the motor spring after untensioning thereof after a sorting run.
