Creasing apparatus having rotating base with recess

摘要

An apparatus includes a sheet path, an creasing member positioned on a first side of the sheet path, and a base positioned on a second side of the sheet path opposite the creasing member. The base is positioned relative to the creasing member so that a sheet of print media passes along a processing plane between the creasing member and the base when traveling in a processing direction along the media path. The processing plane is parallel to flat sides of the sheet of print media as the sheet of print media passes between the creasing member and the base. The base comprises a surface positioned parallel to the processing plane. The surface of the base has a recess having a shape corresponding to the creasing member. The surface of the base rotates in the processing plane.

1. A print media processing apparatus comprising:
a sheet path; a creasing member positioned on a first side of said sheet path; and a rounded base positioned on a second side of said sheet path opposite said creasing member, said rounded base being positioned relative to said creasing member so that a sheet of print media passes along a processing plane between said creasing member and said rounded base when traveling in a processing direction along said sheet path, said processing plane being parallel to flat sides of said sheet of print media as said sheet of print media passes between said creasing member and said rounded base, said rounded base comprising a surface positioned parallel to said processing plane, said surface of said rounded base having a recess having a shape corresponding to exterior corners of said creasing member, and said surface of said rounded base pivoting in unison with movement of said creasing member in said processing plane to position said recess in any direction in said processing plane between parallel to, and non-parallel to, said processing direction.
