1. An inversion apparatus configured to invert a continuous web of recording media moving along a path in an imaging system, the inversion apparatus comprising:
an input configured to receive the continuous web of recording media; an output, displaced from the input, the output configured to convey the continuous web of recording media after being inverted; a blower configured to provide a flow of forced air; a turnbar configured to convey the continuous web of recording media between the input and the output and to enable inversion of the continuous web of recording media, the turnbar defines a first tangent line corresponding to an initial point of contact of the web and the turnbar in the absence of an air gap, a second tangent line corresponding to a last point of contact of the web with the turnbar in the absence of an air gap, and a contacting area disposed between the first tangent line and the second tangent line in the absence of an air gap, the turnbar having an exterior surface defining a first region and a second region, which is substantially devoid of apertures, the first region having a plurality of apertures operatively connected to the blower, the plurality of apertures defining a pattern including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each of the rows being aligned in a longitudinal direction along a length of the turnbar, one of a first row of apertures and a last row of apertures being disposed outside of the contacting area and being rotated approximately ten degrees beyond one of the first tangent line and the second tangent line, the plurality of apertures being configured to direct the forced air from the exterior surface of the turnbar, and the forced air through the second region is not directed from the exterior surface. |
