    摘要: A solid ink feed system for a printer includes a longitudinal feed channel having a feed direction, and an insertion key plate having a key plate opening through it to provide access in an insertion direction into the feed channel. The insertion direction is different from the feed direction. The key plate opening has an insertion opening perimeter that includes two lateral opening perimeter segments and a transverse opening perimeter segment. The transverse opening perimeter segment intersects at least one of the lateral opening perimeter segments at an angle other than 180°. The insertion opening perimeter includes a first nonlinear key element on one lateral perimeter segment, a second nonlinear key element on a second lateral perimeter segment, and a third nonlinear key element on the transverse perimeter segment. An ink stick for the solid ink feed system includes an ink stick body having a perimeter shape that substantially matches the insertion opening perimeter.

    摘要: An insertion element that connects to an ink stick receptacle in a key plate, wherein the insertion element forms at least one edge of an insertion opening, and wherein the insertion element is shaped to complement at least a portion of the perimeter of an ink stick. The element is used in a solid ink loader, which includes at least one feed channel for receiving ink sticks and at least one key plate for covering the at least one feed channel. The at least one key plate includes a receptacle for the insertion opening surround element.

    摘要: A feed system for feeding solid ink sticks, the system including a feed channel having a longitudinal dimension between an insertion end and a melt end, a push block element for moving one or more ink sticks along the feed channel from the insertion end to the melt end, and a tension element. The tension element is attached to the push block element so that the tension element urges the push block element toward the melt end of the feed channel and when the tension element is urging the push block element, the tension element is positioned substantially to one side of the feed channel.
