Assignee:

ZIH Corp. - Hamilton

International Classification:

B08B 11/00

US Classification:

1525652, 15102, 399123

Abstract:

The present invention provides a cleaning assembly for use in a media processing device. In various embodiments, the cleaning assembly includes a first roller that at least partially engages a second roller, and a transport path that passes between the first roller and the second roller. There may also be a third collection roller that at least partially engages the second roller. The third collection roller may also engage a drive assembly that may be used to drive a media substrate along the transport path. In one embodiment, the second roller defines a surface adherence that is greater than a surface adherence of the first roller and the third collection roller defines a surface adherence that is greater than the surface adherence of the second roller and the drive assembly. As a result, the present invention provides a cleaning assembly capable of cleaning the drive assembly and opposed surfaces of a media substrate in a single pass.

Inventors:

Raymond Maynard - Westerly RI, US
Jeffrey Berry - Wakefield RI, US

Assignee:

ZIH Corp - Hamilton

International Classification:

B41J 29/13

US Classification:

347108000

Abstract:

The present invention provides an assembly that includes a print head and a power conditioning circuit in a common frame. The co-location of the print head and power conditioning circuit in the frame alleviates added signal noise and power dissipation. Further, it allows for efficient temperature regulation of the two print head and power conditioning circuit.

Inventors:

Assignee:

ZIH Corp. - Hamilton

International Classification:

G03G 15/16
G03G 21/20

US Classification:

399 66, 399 92

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to a printing assembly that includes an image transfer station and a blower configured to intermittently provide a cooling stream of air to a product being printed upon. The blower may include a centrifugal fan and may have a single plenum providing air to two nozzles. The nozzles may be positioned such that the air targets the edges of the product to facilitate removal of the intermediate transfer media from the targeted areas and reduce the occurrence of flash. The blower may be configured to provide air when the product is expelled from the transfer assembly or while the intermediate transfer media is peeled from the product, but not to provide air when the product is being received by the transfer assembly. The printing assembly may include sensors and control circuitry for detecting the position of the product and controlling the blower accordingly.

International Classification:

B32B 3100

US Classification:

156521

Abstract:

A two-sided card laminating apparatus simultaneously applies and bonds laminate sheets to opposing faces of a two-sided card substrate. The apparatus includes two opposing laminating assemblies symmetrically mounted in mirror image relation on opposing sides of a substrate supply path. Individual sheets of laminate are cut from webs of lamina and transferred onto the card substrate at a convergence zone disposed on the substrate supply path. Each of the laminating assemblies includes a web of lamina, a cutter, and nip rollers disposed between the web and the cutter. The nip rollers advance the web in an upstream direction through the cutter into engagement with a transfer roller. As the laminate exits the cutter, the leading edge is captured between the outer surface of the transfer roller and a laminate guide where it is grabbed by the outer surface of the transfer roller. The outer surface of the transfer roller pulls the leading edge of the sheet of laminate in an upstream direction from the cutter toward the convergence zone. A transfer member disposed in the convergence zone strips the leading edge of the sheet of laminate from the outer surface of the transfer roller and transfers the sheet of laminate into overlying registration with the substrate as the substrate passes through the convergence zone.
