Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention is intended for phase change ink imaging devices such as Figure 1-3 A pull-out, drawer-style ink loader on the device depicted in 10). Pull-out ink loader configurations may include a variety of configurations from full ink-loader pull-out configurations to partial ink-loader pull-out configurations that primarily include the feed channel insertion area. Although the pull-out ink loader according to the present invention can be incorporated into numerous other phase change ink imaging device configurations, such as printers, copiers, facsimile machines, etc., Figure 1-3 The device 10 comprises a multifunction add-on (MFP) device.

[0021] As explained below, the device 10 includes an ink loader 12 ( image 3 ), the ink loader 12 has a pull-out, drawer assembly 100 that allows at least the insertion area or insertion section of the ink loader 12 to move from a substantially closed position ( figure 1 ) to the entry position ( figure 2 ) later...

Abstract

A phase change ink imaging device includes an ink loader operatively connected within a housing of the imaging device. At least a portion of the ink loader is configured to be withdrawn from the housing to enable ink stick insertion.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to phase change ink printers in general, and in particular to solid ink loaders for use in such printers. Background technique [0002] Phase change ink imaging products include a wide variety of imaging devices, such as inkjet printers, fax machines, copiers, etc., that are configured to form images on recording media using phase change inks. Some of these devices use phase change ink in solid form, known as solid ink sticks. Imaging devices that utilize solid ink sticks, sometimes referred to as solid ink printers, typically have an ink loader with a feed channel for receiving solid ink sticks. Ink sticks are loaded into the channel through the insertion port. Each feed channel has an insertion area by which ink sticks are received after passing through the insertion opening. Once the inset area of ​​the feed channel has received the ink stick, the spring-loaded push block pushes the ink stick towards the melting device at t...
