11. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 10, wherein said movable box comprises a profile, which forms on the inside a channel which is designed to receive a first end flap of said net and is opposite to said fixed box, in said first configuration said tape being contained substantially in an internal duct of said profile, during the transition from said first configuration to said second configuration said tape exiting progressively from said duct with a first portion, a second portion of said tape, which is complementary to said first portion, remaining inserted in said duct of said profile.
12. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 11, wherein said first portion, provided with said first end which is fixed to said fixed box, is extended transversely to said fixed box and to said movable box and is accommodated in a curved bezel.
13. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 11, wherein said net has a substantially rectangular shape, said fixed box and said movable box being arranged at the vertical sides of said net, when said frame is installed in the opening, said first portion of said tape substantially facing either the upper horizontal side or the lower horizontal side of said net.
14. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 11, further comprising a terminal, which is fixed to a second end of said tape, which is opposite to said first end, for reference by an apparatus for tensioning said tape, said terminal comprising a plate, which can be fixed to said second end of said tape and is arranged substantially on the plane of said second portion.
15. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 14, wherein said terminal has two flat wings, which are anchored at right angles to the sides of said plate, the center distance of said wings being substantially equal to the width of said duct, for their sliding along its internal surface and the consequent guiding of the movement of said second portion inside said duct of said profile.
16. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 11, wherein said frame comprises said tape and a link track, which are fixed to opposite ends of said fixed box and both face said net, said link track being constituted by a plurality of segments which are articulated in pairs and forming, with respective contoured walls of each one of said segments, a guiding groove for the respective end portion of said movable box, and for said net, said contoured walls of said segments having a center distance that is substantially equal to the width of said duct.
17. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 10, wherein said fixed box comprises a roller that can rotate about its own substantially vertical axis, in said first configuration said net being wound around said roller, during the transition from said first configuration to said second configuration said net unwinding from said roller and moving progressively so as to close said opening.
18. The movable mosquito screen according to claim 11, further comprising a stiffening stem, which is inserted in an inner sheath of said first end flap of said net and can be accommodated with said first end flap inside said profile.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A fuser apparatus having a pair of rollers in nip relation to transport a receiver member therebetween and to permanently fix a marking particle image to such receiver member under application of heat and pressure, a release agent management system for applying a release agent to said pair of rollers, and a skive mechanism for stripping a receiver member adhering to one of said fuser apparatus rollers from such roller, said skive mechanism comprising:
a frame located in spaced relation with one of said rollers of said pair of fuser apparatus rollers, a plurality of skive assemblies mounted on said frame, each of said skive assemblies including a skive finger and a support body for supporting said skive finger in operative relation to said one of said rollers, said skive finger being an elongated, thin, flexible member, and at least one capillary micro-groove channel, whereby build up of release agent is substantially prevented.
2. The skive mechanism of claim 1 wherein said respective skive fingers have a tip adjacent to said one of said rollers and an end remote from said tip, and said at least one capillary micro-groove channel extends from said tip toward said remote end.
3. The skive mechanism of claim 1 wherein said respective skive fingers have a tip adjacent to said one of said rollers and an end remote from said tip, and have a plurality of capillary micro-groove channels extending from said tip toward said remote end.
4. The skive mechanism of claim 3 wherein said respective skive fingers define an opening adjacent to said remote end to enable said skive finger to be supported in said skive mechanism.
5. The skive mechanism of claim 4 wherein said capillary micro-groove channels terminate adjacent to said defined opening.
6. The skive mechanism of claim 3 wherein at least one channel is provided to communicate between said capillary micro-groove channels.
7. The skive mechanism of claim 3 wherein said respective skive fingers define an opening communicating between said capillary microgroove channels.
8. The skive mechanism of claim 7 wherein a wicking material extends into said defined opening.
9. A receiver member stripping skive finger for a skive mechanism of a fuser apparatus having a pair of rollers in nip relation to transport a receiver member therebetween and to permanently fix a marking particle image to such receiver member under application of heat and pressure, and a release agent management system for applying a release agent to said pair of rollers, said skive finger comprising:
an elongated, thin, flexible member, and at least one capillary micro-groove channel, whereby build up of release agent is substantially prevented.
10. The skive finger of claim 9 wherein said flexible member has a tip, adapted to be located adjacent to said one of said fuser apparatus rollers, and an end remote from said tip, and said at least one capillary micro-groove channel extends from said tip toward said remote end.
11. The skive finger of claim 9 wherein said flexible member has a tip, adapted to be located adjacent to said one of said fuser apparatus rollers, and an end remote from said tip, and a plurality of capillary micro-groove channels extending from said tip toward said remote end.
12. The skive finger of claim 11 wherein at least one channel is provided to communicate between said capillary micro-groove channels.
13. The skive finger of claim 11 wherein said flexible member defines an opening communicating between said capillary micro-groove channels.
14. The skive finger of claim 13 wherein a wicking material extends into said defined opening.
