    Abstract: PNEUMATIC REGISTRATION AND CLAMPING APPARATUS the Disclosure In a first embodiment, a stop having a plurality of ports is connected to and covers an end of a rectangular sleeve having a movable wide wall. In a region near the stop, a narrow wall of the sleeve also has a plurality of ports. A nozzle coupled to a pump provides a flow of air into the other end of the sleeve and the air exits through the ports. With this arrangement, a rectangular sheet inserted into said other end of the sleeve is fluidly brought into registration with the narrow wall and stop. After the sheet has been registered, the movable wide wall is moved towards the other wide wall of the sleeve. If a sheet is wrinkled, such movement flattens the sheet. In a second embodiment, similar to the first, the narrow wall and stop include internal projections against which an inserted sheet is registered. In a third embodiment, similar to the first, a manifold is coupled to the ports and a vacuum pump is coupled to the manifold to accelerate registration. In a fourth embodiment, similar to the third, the pumps are replaced with a reversible pump to register and discharge a sheet.

    Abstract: TONER DISPENSER A toner dispenser for a development system of an electrostatic processor has a removable reservoir which mates with a collar on a pivotally mounted hopper containing a dispensing roll. The reservoir may be slid into or out of the collar while upright, but after it is mounted the hopper is rotated to invert the reservoir so that there then is a gravitational flow of toner to the dispensing roll.

    Abstract: The directional guidance mechanism alters the travel direction of sheets of paper etc. It has a box (9) into which the sheet, travelling in a first direction (40) is guided. An air current is generated inside the box, driving the sheet out in the opposite direction. A suction device can also be provided in the box, drawing an edge of the sheet against the rear wall as it moves in the first direction by means of a second current. The two currents can be arranged to function alternately for controlled periods. A third current can be provided, driving the sheet against a narrow sidewall of the box as it moves in the second direction.

    Abstract: A magnetic brush development system for developing latent electrostatic images carried by a photoconductor has a stationary section containing at least one development roll and a movable section containing at least a sump for storing a supply of developer. The movable section is translatable forwardly and rearwardly toward and away from the stationary section and includes a flow gate for selectively interrupting the flow of developer from the sump. There is a catch mechanism for releasably latching the sections of the housing which is interlocked with the flow gate to insure that the flow gate is closed before the catch is disengaged, while still permitting the flow gate to be opened and closed at will while the catch is engaged.
