    摘要: A solid ink stick feed system for use in a color printer is disclosed that utilizes a plurality of ink stick feed receptacles in an ink stick feed bin of predetermined shapes corresponding to the plurality of shapes of the ink sticks such that an incorrectly matched ink stick shape or incorrectly oriented ink stick is retained in a raised position to indicate to the printer operator that the ink stick should be removed and to facilitate grasping and removing such ink stick.

    摘要: A scheme for extending the life of a drum maintenance unit that applies a release agent to the surface of a transfer drum in a phase change ink inkjet printer determines a release agent usage ratio based on an ink coverage percentage for each print. The release agent usage ratios for each print are accumulated, and each time the release agent ratio accumulation value has an integer change a maintenance counter in the drum maintenance unit is decremented by one from an initial nominal number of prints to produce a number of prints remaining. Once the number of prints remaining reaches a specified low value, the maintenance counter may be decremented by one for each additional print to allow for variability in the amount of release agent consumed per print from projected values. As a result depending upon a particular customer usage profile a drum maintenance unit having a nominal life of 30,000 prints, for example, may be extended by over 40%.

    摘要: A gear switching mechanism for a printing machine comprises at least one pair of input and driven gears, each pair rotationally mounted on a corresponding common axle. The input gear of each pair may be coupled to a common drive, while each driven gear is coupled to a separate output. A rotational gear coupling is mounted to translate along each axle to selectively engage and disengage the corresponding pair of input and driven gears. The rotational gear coupling includes a cam follower that slides along a cam profile of a cam shuttle. The shuttle defines a cam profile that is normal to the common axles. In one embodiment, the cam shuttle translates linearly, while in another embodiment, the shuttle rotates. The cam profile is configured to selectively engage and disengage the rotational couplings of each pair of input and driven gears.

    摘要: An interlocking support structure has an array of rectangular cells arranged in at least one layer, each cell having four sides, opposite ends, and eight corners, and sharing common sides and corners with any adjacent cells. The cells are formed by sets of spaced, parallel elongate members extending in x, y and z directions, with the x, y and z members interlocked with one another at the corners of the cells to form interlocking corner joints. Each structural member is hollow at least in the vicinity of each corner joint with which it intersects, and communicates with the other structural members at the respective corner joints. A plug of hardened, initially flowable material fills the hollow interior of the interlocking structural members at least at the corner joints and adheres to the internal surfaces of the members at the corner joints to secure the members together at each corner in the rectangular array.
