Definitions

  • This invention relates to lamp control means and more particularly to means for controlling a heat lamp of the type used in a dry copy machine.
  • Machines of this type generally use a very intense heat lamp mounted inside a glass pressure roller which is focused on the line of tangency of two pressure rollers between which the papers are passed.
  • a principal object of this invention is to provide new and improved lamp control means.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved heat lamp control means.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved heat lamp control means for a dry copy machine.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved heat lamp control means for a dry copy machine which is arranged so that the lamp will be de-energized if the rollers stop turning for any reason.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved apparatus having a heat lamp of the type directing heat onto papers passed between two rollers, means to apply voltage to said lamp only while said rollers are rotating comprising, a solenoid, a lamp switch connected in series with said lamp and a source of power, said switch being normally open but being adapted to be closed by said solenoid, means to apply voltage across said solenoid for a time slightly greater than one rotation of said rollers and means operated by said rollers to reactivate said voltage applying means once each cycle of said rollers.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a schematic circuit diagram.
  • the rollers 1 and 2 are pressure rollers and the papers, both the original and the copy paper, are passed between them.
  • the roller 2 is a hollow glass roller and contains a heat lamp L which is generally of the type having a reflector so that the heat is focused on the line of tangency between the two rollers. If the two rollers should become jammed or stop for any reason, it is necessary that the lamp be turned off immediately to avoid damage to the papers and to the rollers.
  • the present invention accomplishes this by providing a cam operated switch which is connected to charge a condenser to maintain a voltage across a solenoid which is connected to hold the lamp switch closed. If for any reason, the roller stops rotating, the condenser will discharge and the lamp switch will be opened. More specifically, referring to FIGURE 2, the blade 5 of the switch ice 4 is connected in series with the condenser C1. When the blade 5 makes contact with the contact A, then the condenser C1 is connected across the source of power via the rectifier 12 and the filter condenser 15.
  • a cam 3 on the same shaft also rotates.
  • This cam actuates a switch 4 swinging the arm 5 of the switch first from one fixed. contact then to the other.
  • the arm always disconnects from one contact before contacting the other.
  • the circuit is arranged so that when the switch arm 5 is on contact A, condenser or capacitor C1 charges up.
  • the cam rotates the arm 5 leaves contact A and contacts contact C charging condenser or capacitor C2 and pulling in solenoid R1 closing the relay contacts 10 in series with the lamp.
  • the lamp is now connected to the line and is able to operate normally, that is, the lamp goes on when the paper sensing switch'll is energized.
  • Condenser 15 may be used in order to provide filtering and resistors may be interposed in series with the diode on any or all of the condensers to limit the charging current surge.
  • said switch being normally open but being adapted to be closed by said solenoid
  • said switch being normally open but being adapted to be closed by said solenoid
  • a solenoid 5 a solenoid connected in parallel with said second a lamp switch connected in series with said lam capacitor, and a source of power, a lamp switch connected in series with said lamp said switch being normally open but being adapted and a source of power,
  • said switch being normally open but being adapted capacitor means to apply voltage across said soleto be closed by said solenoid
  • said cam being connected to move said blade from one pole to the other
