Abstract:
A gravity-assisted registration system suited to use in a printing device includes a transport member with a surface on which an associated sheet is translated in a process direction. The surface defines an angle with respect to horizontal in a cross-process direction. A registration wall, adjacent a lower end of the surface, defines a registration edge for registering the sheet. A drive mechanism drives at least one rotation mechanism, for translating sheet in the process direction, each rotation mechanism including at least one drive member with an axis of rotation parallel to the surface in the cross-process direction, Each drive member includes a sliding mechanism, at a periphery of the drive member, enabling the sheet to slide, under gravity, on the surface, toward the registration wall into an alignment position, in contact with the registration wall.

Claim (Index 1):
A gravity-assisted wall registration system comprising:\n a transport member including a surface on which an associated sheet is translated in a process direction, the surface defining an angle with respect to horizontal in a cross-process direction of at least 1 degree; a registration wall adjacent a lower end of the surface which defines a registration edge for registering the sheet; a drive mechanism; and at least one rotation mechanism, driven by the drive mechanism, for translating the sheet in the process direction, each rotation mechanism including at least one drive member, positioned above the sheet, with an axis of rotation parallel to the surface in the cross-process direction, each drive member including a sliding mechanism, at a periphery of the drive member, enabling the sheet to slide, under gravity, on the surface, toward the registration wall into an alignment position, in contact with the registration wall.
