Abstract: A cartridge for housing a daisy wheel print element during printing use and non-use. The cartridge has a front, sides, and a back, and is structured to substantially enclose the print element. Included in the makeup of the cartridge are (1) a slot in the top of the front for accommodating a print hammer during printing operations, (2) an orientation opening generally centralized within the front to accept a matching orientation protrusion carried by the print element, (3) a loading opening in the bottom for insertion and removal of the print element, (4) a card holder carried by the top of the back, (5) a ribbon guide carried by the top of the front, and (6) a center bowed leaf spring located within the cartridge. The lower end of the spring acts against the lower inside of the back and the bow acts against the inside of the front adjacent the orientation opening. As such, a ramp is provided for caming the orientation protrusion toward the orientation opening during insertion of the print element into the cartridge. Upon engagement of the orientation opening and orientation protrusion, the spring then serves to maintain the print element latched in a desired rotational position.

Abstract: A daisy wheel printer print element adapted to be housed and oriented in a cartridge during printing and storage. The element has a hammer impact side and a printing side and is made up of a circular central hub, petals connected to the hub and extending radially therefrom, and types carried on the outer extremities of the petals on the printing side of the element. The central hub is dish shaped with its protruding side on the impact side of the element. Carried on the protruding side of the central hub is an orientation protrusion having a stabilizing surface engulfing the axis of rotation of the element. The orientation protrusion is for cooperating with a matching opening in the cartridge. The stabilizing surface is for cooperating with a mating face on a selection motor drive hub. Within the orientation protrusion is a depression also engulfing the axis of rotation of the element. Located within the depression and radially displaced from the axis of rotation of the element is a drive opening. The drive opening is for accepting a drive pin carried by the drive hub. On the printing side of the element and centered within the dished side of the central hub is a bearing protrusion for acting against a bearing surface provided in the cartridge.

Abstract: Disclosed is an alignment assembly for accurately aligning separate sets of documents being inserted into the assembly from transversely oriented feed paths, the alignment assembly including a pivotally mounted document gate which provides not only guide passageways for documents entering the assembly, but also an alignment edge for accurately positioning and aligning documents within the assembly in document clamps adapted to transport the documents from the alignment assembly to a print station and thereafter to an exit transport assembly. The movement of documents inserted in the alignment assembly is effected by a document aligner assembly comprising cooperating vibratory document transporters and pivotally mounted back-up rollers for simultaneously urging the documents into the clamps and against the alignment edge of the document gate.

Abstract: A queue of randomly oriented chips (3) is advanced down a track (4). Each chip in the queue is sequentially and individually elevated into a pneumatic circuit and pressed against a mirrored surface (7) of an upper slide member to which it adheres if the chip was oriented with upwardly disposed solder lands. A jet of compressible fluid insufficient in magnitude to dislodge the chip is injected in a direction toward the queue. If the chip, alternatively, was oriented with the solder lands down, this fluid jet propels the chip about the oval-shaped pneumatic circuit so as to reorient the chip with the lands extending in the desired upward orientation, whereupon the chip is injected into a storage magazine. If the chip was adhered to the mirrored surface, after the first fluid jet, a second fluid jet is introduced to dislodge the correctly oriented chip from the mirrored surface, whereupon a third fluid jet oriented in a direction opposite to that of the first jet and in the direction of the advancing queue, propels the correctly oriented chip along a passageway to the storage magazine. This passageway joins with the oval-shaped inverting passageway which was employed to reorient or flip incorrectly disposedchips as they traversed the reorienting oval.

Abstract: The automatic paper handling system of the invention which is capable of loading individual sheet (50) of a stack of paper onto a drum (59) for printing or scanning, and stacking the sheet of paper after printing or scanning, is additionally provided with duplexing capability to print or scan on the opposite side of a page of paper previously mounted to the drum without the requirement for manual reloading of the page by an operation. During unloading of the page after printing or scanning on a first side thereof a deflector (65) is interposed in the paper unloading path to cause the trailing edge of the paper during unloading to become the leading edge of the paper for a succeeding loading operation such that the side of the paper previously in contact with the drum will become the side of the paper exposed to the printing or scanning transducer.
