Abstract:
A printer includes a conveyor that feeds objects from a stack of nested objects to the printer. The conveyor includes a member having protuberances that extend from the member to hold the lips of objects in the stack except for the object closest to the printheads in the printer. A spindle mounted to a member is moved to be within an orifice of the object closest to the printheads to engage that object and pull it from the stack. The spindle rotates to facilitate the printing of the object. After the object is printed, it is released from the spindle and gravity directs the printed object along a ramp to an opening in the printer for collection.

Claim (Index 18):
The printing system of  claim 17  further comprising:\n a fixed pitch screw member that is parallel to and displaced from the conveyor and the spindle; \n a shuttle mounted about the fixed pitch screw member, the shuttle being operatively connected to the spindle; \n an actuator operatively connected to the fixed pitch screw member; and \n the controller being operatively connected to the actuator, the controller being further configured to operate the actuator to rotate the fixed pitch screw member bidirectionally to move the spindle toward the stack of nested objects, remove the object from the stack of nested objects, and position the object opposite the printheads for printing of the object.
