Abstract
The invention comprises a mechanical handwriting system linked to a user input system to generate a plotted document, such as a greeting card, note card or document, using a conveyor belt unit to support and move the document, a plotter, and a series of rollers to position and constrain movement of the greeting card, which is optionally and preferably linked to a paper feeder system in an assembly line format, where the rollers are optionally and preferably adjustable in position to accommodate varying paper sizes and to allow movement of the document during a plotting period to avoid positional overlap constraints of the rollers and a plotter head of the plotter in a process of plotting the document/card in sections.
Claims8
An apparatus for producing a handwritten appearance of input text on a paper, comprising:
- a conveyor belt comprising a deformable surface, said conveyor belt backing the paper during use;
- a plotter comprising a pen;
- means for applying a downward force of two to ten ounces on the paper through a tip of the pen onto the paper backed by the deformable surface, during use said downward force generating an indentation trail on the paper backed by said deformable surface when plotting a representation of the input text with said pen, said means for applying the downward force comprising at least a weight of the pen.
