发明名称 Dual vacuum belt system with adjustable inter-copy gap
摘要 A sheet transport apparatus includes a first belt having a first pattern of first vacuum holes, and a second belt having a second pattern of second vacuum holes. The first belt is positioned on and contacts the second belt. The first belt contacts sheets to be transported. When transporting the sheets on the first belt separated by spaces between the sheets, the first pulleys and second pulleys rotate together and the first belt and the second belt move together. When not transporting the sheets, a controller controls pulleys to move the first belt relative to the second belt so as to leave blocked-hole regions of the first belt where the spaces between the sheets are located. The blocked-hole regions are locations of the first belt where the first vacuum holes are unaligned with the second vacuum holes and the first vacuum holes are blocked by the second belt.

主权项 1. A sheet transport apparatus comprising: first pulleys; a first belt on said first pulleys, said first belt has a first pattern of first vacuum holes; second pulleys adjacent said first pulleys; a second belt on said second pulleys, said second belt has a second pattern of second vacuum holes; and a controller electrically connected to said first pulleys and said second pulleys, said first belt is positioned on and contacts said second belt, said first belt contacts sheets to be transported, when transporting said sheets on said first belt separated by spaces between said sheets, said first pulleys and second pulleys rotate together and said first belt and said second belt move together, and when not transporting said sheets, said controller controls said first pulleys to rotate relative to said second pulleys to move said first belt relative to said second belt so as to leave blocked-hole regions of said first belt where said spaces between said sheets are located, said blocked-hole regions are locations of said first belt where said first vacuum holes are unaligned with said second vacuum holes and said first vacuum holes are blocked by said second belt.
