Imaging Cartridge Drive With A Tapered Tooth Guide
US Patent:
7526234, Apr 28, 2009
Filed:
Mar 6, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/043892
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
Assignee:
Cartridge Corporation of America, Inc. - Pinellas Park FL
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399167
Abstract:
Provided is an improved drive mechanism for an imaging machine. A tapered outboard tooth guide is disposed along the circumference of the drive dog and at least one tapered radius tooth guide is adjacent the tapered outboard tooth guide whereby a tooth of the imaging machine drive mechanism is centered and directed into the drive dog seat. The leading edge of the drive dog seat contacts the base of the imaging machine drive mechanism thus making full contact between the drive dog seat and the imaging machine drive mechanism tooth.
Electrical Connections For Circuit Boards On Universal Toner Cartridges
US Patent:
7221886, May 22, 2007
Filed:
May 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/382593
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
Assignee:
Cartridge Corporation of America, Inc. - Clearwater FL
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399 90, 399 25
Abstract:
An improved communication method for use in a toner cartridge with two independently-generated electrical signals used to activate a printer. A first connection pad and a second connection pad mounted on a first circuit board to make electrical contact with upper door-mounted electrical contacts that are provided on printers of a particular family of printers. A first connector provides electrical communication between the first end of the conductor and the first circuit board. A second connector provides electrical communication between a second end of said connector and a second circuit board having a second terminal connector secured to said second end of said conductor and a second receiver connector secured to said second circuit board.
Universal Toner Cartridge Mounts For Attaching A Waste Bin To A Hopper
US Patent:
7362988, Apr 22, 2008
Filed:
May 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/382589
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
Assignee:
Cartridge Corporation of America, Inc. - Clearwater FL
International Classification:
G03G 21/18
US Classification:
399113, 399120
Abstract:
A toner cartridge wherein the waste bin and the hopper are attached to one another in a non-pivotal interconnection. The parts are attached via a hopper wheel horizontal retainer and a hopper wheel vertical lock formed integrally with the waste bin. The hopper wheel horizontal retainer and the hopper wheel vertical lock are disposed in cooperative relation to one another and are adapted to engage a hopper wheel that forms a part of the hopper. To assemble the toner cartridge, the waste bin is held above the hopper so that the hopper wheel horizontal retainer and the hopper wheel vertical lock are positioned directly above the hopper wheel. The waste bin is lowered until the hopper wheel horizontal retainer engages the hopper wheel and the hopper wheel vertical lock.
Toner Cartridge Having Multiple Drives
US Patent:
2008018, Aug 7, 2008
Filed:
Feb 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/671094
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
Assignee:
CARTRIDGE CORPORATION OF AMERICA, INC. - Clearwater FL
International Classification:
G03G 15/06
US Classification:
399222
Abstract:
Provided is a toner cartridge equipped with multiple drives adapted to engage the printer-drive mechanisms of multiple printers. Each drive is associated with at least one of the cartridge-drive structures found on most toner cartridges. Each drive can be associated with one or more cartridge-drive structures such as the toner adder roller gear, toner developer roller gear, toner agitator gear, idler gear and toner sifter gear. Moreover, each drive is adapted to prevent interference with the other drive. This is accomplished in numerous ways, including making each drive removeable or by making the engaging structures on the drives displaceable.
Imaging Cartridge Drive With An External Ramp
US Patent:
7664432, Feb 16, 2010
Filed:
Mar 6, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/043896
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399167
Abstract:
Provided is an improved drive mechanism for an imaging machine. At least one external ramp is disposed along the outer perimeter of the drive dog whereby a tooth of the imaging machine drive mechanism is centered and directed into the drive dog seat. The leading edge of the drive dog seat contacts the base of the imaging machine drive mechanism thus making full contact between the drive dog seat and the imaging machine drive mechanism tooth.
Enhanced Imaging Cartridge
US Patent:
2010024, Sep 30, 2010
Filed:
Jun 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/793471
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
International Classification:
G03G 21/16
US Classification:
399111
Abstract:
An imaging cartridge contains a wastebin and a hopper connected to the wastebin. A flat mounting surface on the wastebin receives a first circuit board and a blocking member obstructs the placing of an unauthorized circuit board over the first circuit board. A microswitch actuating tab is formed on the body of the imaging cartridge. A hopper torque tab receptacle receives a torque tab formed in the hopper, thereby limiting lateral movement between the hopper and the wastebin. A planar wing engages a guide groove inside an imaging machine to direct the imaging cartridge into the imaging machine. Also, a dedicated grip centers a user's hand relative to the trailing end of the cartridge when inserting or removing the cartridge from the imaging machine.
Developer Roller Preserver
US Patent:
7319833, Jan 15, 2008
Filed:
Sep 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/162930
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
Assignee:
Cartridge Corporation of America, Inc. - Clearwater FL
International Classification:
G03G 21/16
US Classification:
399111
Abstract:
A toner cartridge adapted to fit within a toner cartridge-receiving cavity of a printer. The body of the cartridge comprises a front section, which houses the photoconductive drum common in all printers, capable of being biased in relation to the rest of the cartridge which houses the developer roller. The placement of a mechanical biasing element, or developer roller preserver, between the main body and front section creates a gap between the rigid photoconductive drum and the relatively soft developer roller. This gap prevents a “flat spot” from forming along the length of the developer roller during periods of long storage or non-use.
Method Of Remanufacturing An Imaging Cartridge
US Patent:
2010022, Sep 2, 2010
Filed:

Appl. No.:
12/780553
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399109
Abstract:
A method of remanufacturing an imaging cartridge includes providing a consumed imaging cartridge having an outer housing that fits in a first imaging cartridge receiving cavity of a first imaging machine; removing the outer housing from the imaging cartridge; and replacing the outer housing with a second outer housing that fits in a second imaging cartridge receiving cavity of a second imaging machine.
Self-Transforming Imaging Cartridge Chip
US Patent:
2012032, Dec 27, 2012
Filed:

13/167656
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
Herman Schnell - Coral Springs FL, US
Herman Schnell - Coral Springs FL, US
International Classification:
G06F 3/12
US Classification:
358 115
Abstract:
An electronic circuit for use with a consumable imaging unit comprises information configured to transform said electronic circuit from a communicated state to a non communicated state. Additionally, the information of the circuit is configured to alter an identifier of the circuit. The information of the circuit is also configured to point an imaging machine to communicate with a second element of the circuit after the information determines that a first element of the circuit has been altered from its original state.
Imaging Cartridge Drive Having A Tapered Locating Structure
US Patent:
2010016, Jul 1, 2010
Filed:
Mar 11, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/721795
Inventors:
Steven Miller - Pinellas Park FL, US
International Classification:
F16H 55/02, F16H 57/00, F16H 1/20, B23P 11/00
US Classification:
74412 R, 29428
Abstract:
Provided is an improved drive dog for an imaging cartridge. A tapered locating structure locates in a hole of the imaging machine drive mechanism, directing a tooth of the imaging machine drive mechanism into a drive dog seat. Once the tooth of the imaging machine drive mechanism is located in the drive dog seat, the rotational force of the imaging machine drive mechanism is transmitted to the drive dog, causing rotation of the drive dog.
