Appl. No.:

8/551600

Inventors:

Wayne D. Everdyke - Fairport NY

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B27F 736

US Classification:

227 7

Abstract:

A safety system for a power stapler in which stapling of a set of sheets is actuated by inserting the set of sheets into the stapling jaws of the stapler, includes a large transparent upper plate mounted above the entrance to the stapling jaws and extending away from the stapling jaws by a distance greater than the length of a human finger, more than approximately 8 centimeters, and a lower plate below the entrance to the stapling jaws similarly extending, to prevent fingers from being inserted into the stapling jaws of the stapler. The upper and lower plates are spaced apart by a distance greater than the maximum thickness of the set of sheets to be stapled, to allow any set of sheets to be inserted into the stapling jaws from in between the upper and lower plates and be movable for alignment between the plates while being visible through the transparent upper plate. The plates may be pivotally mounted to the stapler so as to fold up into a compact vertical storage position closely adjacent to the stapler when not in use, in which position access to the stapling jaws is blocked.

International Classification:

G03G 500

US Classification:

355212

Abstract:

A module adapted to be mounted removably in a printing machine. The module has a photoconductive belt entrained about a plurality of rollers mounted on a frame. One of the rollers is movable between a non-operative position, in which the space between the rollers is reduced, and an operative position, in which the space between the rollers is increased. A charging station and a cleaning station are mounted on the frame of the module adjacent the photoconductive belt. When one of the rollers is in the non-operative position, a cover covers at least the photoconductive belt. The cover has an insert about which a portion of the photoconductive is wrapped. The insert supports the photoconductive belt in a non-tensioned condition external to the printing machine.
