  • FLAT PLATE TRAVELING ROLLER IMAGING SYSTEM [72] Inventors: Raymond-K. Egnaczak, Williamson; Gino F. Squassoni, Pittsford, both of NY.
  • ABSTRACT A photoelectrophoretic imaging machine employing a stationary electrode over which two imaging and one transfer roller electrode travels to form and transfer an image formed from photoelectrophoretic ink exposed to light and subjected to electric field.
  • the roller electrodes are joumaled in two separate carriages with one drive mechanism employed to propel the carriages and a second drive mechanism employed to rotate the roller electrodes.
  • the roller electrodes are lowered into contact with the stationary electrode by an elevator mechanism that enables the forces exerted on the roller to be varied from one end of a roller to the other.
  • Means are provided for loading and ejecting a record sheet from the surface of the transfer roller.
  • An auxiliary drive mechanism and cleaning station are positioned to engage the imaging roller electrodes after they pass over the stationary electrode.
  • PATENTEDFEB 22 I972 SHEET R []F 4 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to an imaging system and in particular to a photoelectrophoretic imaging system. More specifically, the invention relates to new and improved methods and apparatus for implementing the photoelectric imaging process.
  • the photoelectrophoretic imaging process is either monochromatic or polychromatic depending upon whether the light-sensitive particles within the liquid carrier are responsive to the same or different portions of the light spectrum.
  • a full-color polychromatic system is obtained, for example, by using cyan, magenta and yellow-colored particles which are responsive to red, green and blue light respectively.
  • An extensive and detailed description of the photoelectrophoretic process is found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,384,565 and 3,384,488 to Tulagin and Carreira, 3,383,993 to Yeh and 3,384,566 to Clark.
  • the present imaging system employs a stationary flat plate electrode over which first and second imaging roller electrodes are passed to form an image from photoelectrophoretic ink present between the electrodes.
  • the image formed from the ink is transferred to a record sheet loaded onto the surface of a transfer roller electrode and passed over the stationary electrode.
  • the roller electrodes are mounted on carriages which are shuttled back and forth over the stationary electrode by novel drive means permitting the rapid and efficient formation of a plurality of images.
  • the imaging and transfer roller electrodes are coupled to their respective carriages by elevator mechanisms.
  • Each elevator mechanism can vary the elevation of a roller relative to the stationary electrode over a continuous range and can position the ends of a roller at different elevations. These abilities enable the elevator mechanisms to vary the shape of the interface or nip between a roller and the stationary electrode. Image formation and transfer occurs substantially in the nip and controlling its shape helps control the image forming and transferring operations.
  • a novel auxiliary drive mechanism is used in combination with separate cleaning assembly to clean the surfaces of the imaging roller electrodes.
  • Another object of the invention is to control the configuration of the nip between injecting and blocking electrodes of a photoelectrophoretic imaging system.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a photoelectrophoretic imaging machine according to the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of a sheet-handling system in side elevation and the transfer roller electrode used in the machine of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the auxiliary drive mechanism used by the machine of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective isolated view of the drive mechanism for propelling the carriages used by the machine of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective isolated view of a rotational gear rack and associated apparatus used with the transfer roller on the machine of FIG. 1.
  • roller electrode 3 is a blocking electrode of conventional design having a conductive core overcoated with an electrically insulating material.
  • An image is formed on the stationary electrode by coating the roller electrode 3 or the stationary electrode 2 with a photoelectrophoretic ink and by passing the roller electrode over the stationary electrode.
  • the stationary electrode is electrically grounded and the roller electrode is coupled to voltage source of at least :L-3,000 volts, as an example.
  • the electric field established between the electrodes by the voltage potentials causes the photosensitive ink particles exposed to light to migrate away from the stationary electrode.
  • the ink particles remaining on the stationary electrode form the desired image.
  • the ink is exposed to electromagnetic radiation to which it is responsive, such as visible light, through the stationary electrode by means of the exposure mechanism 5.
  • Roller exposure 7 is also a blocking electrode being composed of an electrically insulating material overcoating a conductive inner core.
  • This second roller electrode 7 is passed over the stationary electrode in the same manner as the first roller electrode 3.
  • the second roller is also coupled to a highvoltage source but not necessarily of the same potential.
  • the second roller is not coated with ink but is used as a means to subject to a field the ink subjected to a field during the passage of the first roller electrode. This subsequent subjection of the ink to an electric field is accomplished by exposure of the ink to light and is found to improve the quality of the image.
  • the image formed on the stationary electrode is transferred to a recording sheet by means of the transfer roller electrode 8.
  • the sheet is typically a paper material made from cloth or wood fibers and of a quality selected to suit the needs of a particular user.
  • the details of the sheet-feeding mechanism are not shown in FIG. 1 in order to simplify that drawing.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates schematically the details of the sheet-handling apparatus which are discussed in more detail later.
  • the transfer roller electrode is-also a blocking electrode comprising an electrically insulating layer over a conductive core. A portion of the cylindrical roller is cut away as indicated in FIG. 3 to accommodate loading and unloading a sheet around the periphery of the roller. Again this is discussed in more detail later.
  • the roller electrodes 3, 7 and 8 are compressible at least to some degree so that when forced downward against the stationary electrode they flatten over some finite area hereafter referred to as a nip.
  • Image formation and transfer takes place substantially in the nip because, for one reason, that is the area in which the electric field is the strongest.
  • the elevator mechanism i.e., the cylinders, enable the geometry of the nip to be conveniently varied to effect some variation in an image either during formation or transfer of the image.
  • the width of the nip is varied by uniformly increasing or decreasing the fluid pressure in the cylinders at opposite ends of a roller.
  • the nip can be rendered substantially trapezoidal or triangular by making the fluid pressure in a cylinder at one end of a roller greater than that in the cylinder at the other end of a roller.
  • the rotational pinion gears are coupled to the axle of a roller, e.g., axle 31, by means of an override clutch, e.g., clutch 62.
  • the override clutch is functionally equivalent to a ratchet and pawl mechanism where a circular ratchet is coupled to the axle 31 and the pawl is coupled to a gear such as gear 59.
  • the pawl engages a tooth on the ratchet when carriages l0 and 11 move from the park to the turn positions causing a roller to be rotated.
  • the pawl slides over the teeth on the ratchet when the carriages travel from the turn to the park positions preventing rotation of a roller.
  • the gear cou pled to the roller, e.g., gear 59, is rotated during the turn to park travel because it is always operatively engaged with the rotational rack gear, e.g., rack gear 56. However the override clutch disengages a gear, e.g., gear 59, from an axle, e.g., axle 31 during the turn to park travel.
  • the rotational rack gear 55 used to rotate the transfer roller includes an additional feature.
  • the rack gear 55 is normally braced against sliding movement relative to the frame 9. However, the shorten the overall length of machine 1, the rack is coupled to fluid-operated cylinder 63 (FIG. 6) which pulls the rack 55 toward the park position after carriage 11 has traveled past the stationary electrode and come to a stop.
  • the circumference of the transfer roller is sufficiently large to have an entire image on the stationary electrode transferred to a sheet on its surface when it has been rotated less than 360. Once the image is transferred to the sheet the carriage can stop. However, to eject the sheet from the transfer roller it must be rotated through an additional angular displacement.
  • the transfer roller is rotated the additional amount by pulling the rack gear 55 back toward the park position to rotate the pinion gear (similar to gear 59) coupled through an override clutch (similar to clutch 62) to the axle (similar to axle 31) of the transfer roller 8.
  • the rack gear 55 is supported by bias springs 58 above the slide member 64.
  • Member 64 is supported for sliding movement relative to frame 9.
  • the piston rod 66 of cylinder 63 is coupled by appropriate means to the slide member 64 and is normally substantially fully extended out of barrel 65.
  • a fluid is pumped into the cylinder barrel 65 via conduit 67 to force the piston rod and slide member to the left, i.e., toward the park piston.
  • This movement of the slide member 64 effects the ejectment of a sheet from the transfer roller to an output tray.
  • a fluid is pumped into the cylinder barrel 65 via conduit 68 to return'the rack member to its starting position. This movement of the rack 55 toward the turn position does not rotate the transfer roller 8 because of the override clutch (such as clutch 62) coupled to the axle of the transfer roller.
  • FIG. 3 An input tray 70 supports the stack of sheets 71.
  • the top sheet in the stack is fed to the buckle mechanism comprising the buckle cams 72 and the release cam 73.
  • Cam 72 is a friction device which is normally rotated to the portion shown to permit a sheet to be fed onto the table 74.
  • the sheet fed onto the table is restrained from further advancement by the stop pad 75 on the release cam 73.
  • the buckle cam 72 is then rotated counterclockwise substantially 360.
  • the cam 72 engages the sheet fed onto the table and forces it against the stop pad 75 causing it to buckle in the manner shown. Meanwhile, the transfer roller 8 is rotated until the gripper fingers 78 are positioned near the release cam 72.
  • the fingers 78 are mounted on a shaft 79 that is appropriately torque biased to maintain the gripper fingers closed, i.e., in contact with the periphery of the roller.
  • a trip device 80 is rigidly coupled to the shaft and rotates the shaft clockwise against the bias when an interposer member 81 is placed in its path.
  • the interposer 81 is a shaft coupled to the piston rod of a cylinder.
  • the cylinder is coupled to the carriage and is positioned relative to the trip device 80 to place the interposer in the path of the trip device when the piston rod is extended.
  • the interposer is positioned relative to the transfer roller to open the gripper fingers (i.e., move them to the position shown) when they approach the release cam.
  • the stop pad 75 is lifted to allow the buckled sheet to shoot forward into the open gripper fingers. Once the gripper fingers have rotated with roller 8 past the interposer 81, they close on the sheet. The sheet is pulled around the periphery of the roller by the gripper fingers with the image on the stationary electrode being transferred to it in the process.
  • the high-voltage potential coupled to the roller not only attracts the ink particles from the grounded stationary electrode but also acts to electrostatically tack the sheet to the roller.
  • the carriage comes to a stop with the roller 8 in substantially the same angular position as shown in FIG. 3.
  • cylinder 63 in FIG. 6 is activated to pull the rack 55 toward the park position.
  • the interposer 81 is inserted into the path of the trip device 80 to open the gripper fingers.
  • the gripper fingers are opened to release the sheet on the surface of the roller.
  • the separator fingers 87 are normally at the position shown and are coupled to shaft 88 which is in turn rotatably supported by carriage 11.
  • the shaft 88 is rotated by appropriate means counterclockwise to lower the fingers into the cutout 89 in the roller 8.
  • the separator fingers deflect the sheet into the bite of friction feed rollers 90 which advance the sheet onto the output tray 90a.
  • the movement of rack 55 continues toward the park position until the roller 8 returns to substantially that angular position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the transfer roller remains in this angular position when the carriage is returned to the park position because of the override clutch (like clutch 59) coupled to its axle and the gear (like gear 59) mated with the rotation drive rack 55.
  • a plurality of cam-operated switches 60 are activated by the movement of the carriages to generate electrical and mechanical timing signals for apparatus such as buckle cam 72, release cam 73 and interposer 81.
  • the timing signals enable the various machine operations to occur at the proper instant in time.
  • the first and second imaging rollers 3 and 7 respectively have their surfaces cleaned by the cleaning assembly 91 when carriage 10 is at the'turn position.
  • the cleaning tank 92 contains a cleaning fluid (normally the same material as the insulating fluid used in the photoelectrophoretic ink) and brush rollers 93 and 94.
  • the rollers 93 and 94 are journaled for rota tion in the tank 92 and are rotated by appropriate motors and drive means.
  • the outer surface of each brush roller is a fiber material which is wetted by the cleaning fluid as the brush rollers rotate.
  • the tank 92 and brush rollers are raised by hoist means to an elevation at which the brush rollers 93 and 94 contact the imaging rollers 3 and 7 respectively.
  • the rollers 3 and 7 are maintained at their uppermost position by the cylinders 30 at this time.
  • the cleaning assembly includes the tank 92 which is slidably supported by the standards 95 and 96.
  • the threaded shaft 97 is engaged with mated thread in the floor of the tank.
  • Motor 98 is coupled to shaft 97 by appropriate gear means 99 for rotating the shaft. The shaft is rotated clockwise to raise the tank 92 and counterclockwise to lower it.
  • the imaging rollers 3 and 7 are rotated by the auxiliary drum mechanism 10] shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 when carriage 10 is at the turn position.
  • the auxiliary drive mechanism has the concave members 102 and 103 coupled to the piston rods of fluid-operated cylinders 104 and 105.
  • the concave members 102 and 103 are extended into friction engagement with mating convex members coupled to the axles of rollers 3 and 7 when carriage 10 is at the turn position and the rollers are held at their highest elevation by the bias springs 29.
  • Convex member 108 (FIG. 2) coupled to axle 31 of the first imaging roller electrode 3 is typical of a like convex member coupled to the axle of the second imaging roller 7.
  • the concave members 102 and 103 are rotated in the same direction the imaging electrodes are rotated when moving over the stationary electrode.
  • the override clutch permits the axle of the rollers 3 and 7 to be rotated without rotating the gears engaged with rotational rack gears 56 and 57.
  • convex member 103 (FIG. 4) is coupled to a keyed shaft 109 which is journaled for rotation in pillow blocks 10.
  • the keyed shaft 109 has a groove extending parallel to its axis of rotation.
  • the pulley 111 is coupled to shaft 109 by a key member rigidly coupled to the pulley and slidably fit into the groove. The key member on the pulley transmits the rotation of the pulley to the keyed shaft and permits shaft 109 to slide along its axes while being rotated.
  • the concave member 103 can be slid into and out of engagement with the convex member 108.
  • the pulleys 111 are driven by an electric motor 112 through appropriately connected pulley and belts including pulley 113 and continuous belt 1 14.
  • the keyed shaft 109 is coupled to the piston rod 117 of cylinder 105.
  • Cylinder is a double-acting cylinder that extends piston rod 117 when a fluid is pumped into barrel 118 through orifice 119 and retracts the piston rod when fluid is pumped into the barrel through orifice 120.
  • the auxiliary drive mechanism 101 cooperates with the cleaning assembly to remove unused ink and other materials from the surfaces of the imaging rollers 3 and 7,
  • the concave members 102 and 103 are extended and rotated to rotate the rollers 3 and 7.
  • the cleaning tank 92 is raised to bring the brush rollers 93 and 94 into contact with rollers 3 and 7.

  • the cleaning assembly 91 and auxiliary drive mechanism are retracted from the rollers after the cleaning operation is over. Squeegees can be pressed against the surfaces of the rollers 3 and 7 to remove any remaining cleaning fluid if so desired.
  • the inking of the stationary electrode and/or the first imaging electrode can be accomplished by pouring a photoelectrophoretic ink onto the surface of roller 3 or electrode 2 since both are accessible for this purpose.
  • appropriate inking means can be placed near either the park or the turn positions to mechanically coat the surface of the roller electrode with an ink.
  • Typical means might include a wetting roller such as the brush rollers 92 and 93 submerged in an ink bath and positioned to contact the roller 3.
  • a mechanism could be coupled to carriage in front of the roller 3 to coat the electrode 2 with ink as the carriage travels over it.
  • the exposure mechanism 5 used to expose the ink between the roller and stationary electrodes includes the transparency projector 123 of conventional design and the plane mirror 124.
  • the projector includes means for holding a transparency, for illuminating the transparency, for collecting the radiation passing through the transparency and for focusing a light image of the transparency onto the interface or nip between the roller and stationary electrodes.
  • the projector and mirror are mounted on the frame with the projector aimed generally at right angles to the path traveled by the rollers 3, 7 and 8. This enables the projector to be positioned at a convenient access location on the frame.
  • the exposure mechanism is physically out of the way of the carriages and other moving parts and enables the overall machine size to be minimized.
  • the mirror 124 converts the right reading light image of a transparency to a reverse reading light image. This results in the formation of a reverse reading image on the stationary electrode (as viewed looking downward onto the stationary electrode).
