In a typical Booklet Maker, there are usually sets of rolls used to form a crease in the booklet. This idea suggests using an O-Ringconnecting some of the rolls to prevent paper from jamming in between the rolls.
Some Booklet Maker’s use two sets of rolls in series to create a crease in the paper. These rolls are situated closely together and therefore it would be difficult to place a paper guide between them. During testing, paper jams have been observed with paper becoming stuck between the two sets of rolls. This has led to a paper jam which is cannot be cleared by the machine operator and therefore escalates to a Service Call. This idea will help prevent the need for a Service Call.
O-Ringshave been used to form paper guides and prevent stray paper jamming.
The following Figures show how addition of an O-Ringcan improve the operation by preventing paper jamming.
Figure A:
· Paper is registered next to rolls A.
· A crease blade is driven towards rolls A which are being driven.
Figure B:
· The paper being pushed by the crease blade forces the sprung loaded Nip A open and paper is driven towards Nip B.
· The crease blade is dr...
