HINGED DRYER ASSEMBLY Filed May l7, 1965 JNVENTOR. Loam; Ben/rm ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,340,618 HINGED DRYER ASSEMBLY Louis Bentzman, Levittown, Pa., assignor to Quik-Chek Electronics and Photo Corporation, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of Delaware Filed May 17, 1965, Ser. No. 456,077 4 Claims. (Cl. 34162) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A dryer assembly for affixing and drying a toned image upon a previously electrostati cally charged copy sheet including separable pairs of driving and driven rollers, the said rollers being equipped with cooperating, thin, paper contacting rollers to urge the sheet therebetween without marring the image.
This invention relates in general to the art of electrostatic copying and is more particularly directed to a novel dryer and heater assembly that affixes the image upon the copy prior to its ejection from the copier.
The instant invention is concerned with an office type of electrostatic copy machine designed to produce a large number of copies in a relatively short period of time. In such a type of device, an electrostatic charge is first impressed upon the copy paper. An image of the material to be copied is then projected onto the charged surface in varying intensities corresponding with the light and dark shades present in the original being copied.' The charged paper then feeds through a toner bath wherein toner particles are attracted to the charged paper in proportion to the intensity of the charge and thus form a visible image thereon. The copy paper is then fed through a heater and dryer assembly to both afiix the toner to the paper and to completely dry the paper prior to delivery.
In feeding the copy paper through the dryer, jams sometimes occur due to misalignment, paper imperfections and mechanical failures. Such result in a great loss of time and money, and sometimes mean the difference between a commercially successful machine and one that is unacceptable. It is therefore of primary importance in designing dryer assemblies that the mechanism itself does not cause the formation of jams, and equally important, should a jam occur, the assembly must incorporate readily accessible construction features that enable even an unskilled operator to easily get to the source of the trouble and to quickly take the necessary remedial action.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved dryer assembly of the type set forth.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel dryer assembly featuring readily accessible hinge means to permit the assembly interior to be easily exposed for corrective procedures.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel dryer assembly of relatively simple construction to permit an unskilled workman to quickly and easily take all required steps to clear a paper jam.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel dryer assembly including opposed driving rollers and hinged means to easily separate the rollers.
It is another object of this invention to provide a dryer assembly including rollers on opposed shafts that are alternately driven and separably joined.
It is another object of this invention to provide a dryer assembly that may be separately opened to clear a paper jam without the necessity of disassembling a major portion of the enclosing apparatus.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel dryer assembly including opposed, extremely thin, paper transport rollers.
3,340,618 Patented Sept. 12, 1967 It is another object of this invention to provide a novel dryer assembly that is rugged in construction, simple in operation and trouble-free upon use.
Other objects and a fuller understanding of the invention will be had by referring to the following description and claims of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention with the cover in open position to expose the internal working parts.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof with the cover in closed position.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view thereof with the cover in closed position.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section through the door showing the mesh of the internal gears taken along line 44 of FIG. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 5 is a schematic sectional view showing in eX- aggerated detail the action of the rollers upon the paper.
Although specific terms are used in the following description for the sake of clarity, these terms are intended to refer only to the particular structure of my invention selected for illustration in the drawings and are not intended to define or limit the scope of the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, I show a hinged dryer assembly generally designated A forming a functioning component of an electrostatic copy machine B. A pair of horizontal upper and lower driving rollers 10, 12 rotatively secured in the assembly stationary section 14 turn the cooperating driven rollers 16, 18 that are rotatively secured in the assembly hinged door section 20. Similarly, the intermediate horizontal, driving roller 22 rotatively carried in the door section 20 turns its cooperating driven roller 24 that is rotatively secured in the stationary section 14.
As best seen in FIG. 1, an electrical motor 26 of conventional design connects to a gear train 28 and thus powers a driving gear 30. The gear 30 drives an endless chain 32 which is maintained taut by the idler gear 36 in any well-known manner. The shafts 10, 12 terminate without the dryer enclosure 44 in afiixed gears 40, 42 which mesh with the chain 32 and thus revolve in response to any activity of the motor 26. The remote interior ends of the shafts 10, 12 respectively carry the driving gears 46, 48 which mesh with the gears 50, 52 when the hinged door section 20 is swung to its closed position as indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3.
Similarly, the door section carries the shaft 22 which also terminates without the dryer enclosure 44 in an afiixed driving gear 54 which meshes with the chain 32 when the door section is in closed position. When the door is opened to expose the assembly interior, the mesh between the gear 54 and the chain 32 is automatically broken. The remote interior terminus of the shaft 22 rotatively carries a driving gear 56 which rotates with the shaft in response to the chain power transmitted through the meshed gear 54. The gear 56 in turn meshes with the driven gear 58 when the door assembly is pivoted to its closed'position to rotatively drive the shaft 24.
As best seen in FIG. 1, the shafts 16, 18 and 22 each rotatively carry three equally spaced rollers 68 and the shafts 10, 12, 24 each carry three pairs of equally spaced rollers 68. As indicated in FIG. 5, each pair of rollers aflixed to the stationary section shafts 10, 12, 24 cooperate with an adjacent single roller affixed to the hinged door shafts 16, 18, 22 to urge the paper 70 downwardly therebetween towards the ejection guide 76. It is a feaference with the newly formed image on the paper 70 to a minimum. The radius of each roller 68 is constructed slightly greater than one-half the distance between the center lines of the cooperating pairs of driving and driven rollers 16, 2224 and 12-18. The outer peripheral edge of each roller 68 extends slightly beyond a vertical plane midway between the respective shafts 16, 18, 22 and 10, 12, 24. The eflfect of this construction is shown exaggerated in FIG. 5, wherein the paper 70 is slightly curved at the three locations where the cooperative rollers 68 coact to drive the paper downwardly. The three spaced curvatures thus imposed serve to give the paper rigidity and markedly reduce any tendency to buckle or jam within the assembly A.
A reflector 62 directs energy from a heat lamp 60 towards the paper 70 as it passes through the assembly to dry the paper and affix the toner in a conventional manner. Opposed deflectors 64, 66 are carried upon the door and act as a guide to eliminate paper jams. Door latches 72, 74 engage upon stationary catches to easily permit both securing and opening the door 20 in the event a paper jam occurs and it is necessary to gain access to the dryer assembly interior.
It is thus seen that I have provided a unique dryer assembly featuring a novel arrangement of drives and shafts to permit easy access to the interior construction, even by unskilled operators. Further, novel rollers have been incorporated to impart rigidity to the paper to reduce the possibility of a jam. The narrow configuration of the rollers also permits the completed copy to progress through the dryer assembly without objectionable impairment.
Although I have described my invention with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
