Abstract
In one example, a heated pressure roller can include a structural element positioned within a belt roller, a platen coupled to the structural element, wherein the platen comprises: a first side to guide a belt of the belt roller to form a first angle on the first side, and a second side to guide the belt of the belt roller to form a second angle on the second side that is different than the first angle.
Claims18
A heated pressure roller, comprising:
- a structural element positioned within a belt roller;
- a platen coupled to the structural element, the platen including a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- a belt pathway, wherein a portion of the belt pathway is located between the platen and a cylindrical roller, the cylindrical roller contacting a belt of the belt pathway at a nip, wherein the nip includes:
- a first side located on a portion of the first surface of the platen;
- and
- a second side located on a portion of the second surface of the platen, wherein the second side of the nip is angled with respect to the first side of the nip.
4 more elements
A system for a heated pressure roller, comprising:
- a heat source positioned within a belt roller of the heated pressure roller;
- a structural element positioned within the belt roller of the heated pressure roller;
- and
- a platen to guide a belt of the belt roller asymmetrically between an input of a nip and an output of the nip, the nip located between the belt roller and a cylindrical roller of the heated pressure roller, wherein:
- the platen includes a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- the nip includes:
- a first side located on a portion of the first surface of the platen;
- and
- a second side located on a portion of the second surface of the platen, wherein the second side of the nip is angled with respect to the first side of the nip.
7 more elements
A printing device, comprising:
- a heated pressure roller to receive partially dried media at an input of a nip of the heated pressure roller and provide the partially dried media to a media pathway at an output of the nip of the heated pressure roller, the heated pressure roller comprising:
- a belt roller that includes a belt that rotates around a heat source, a structural element, and a platen coupled to the structural element to guide the belt, wherein the platen includes:
- a first surface;
- a second surface;
- and
- a lip portion that extends toward the media pathway;
- and
- a cylindrical roller to apply pressure on the platen at the nip, wherein the nip is a location where the cylindrical roller makes contact with a surface of the platen and includes:
- a first side located on a portion of the first surface of the platen;
- and
- a second side located on a portion of the second surface of the platen, wherein the second side of the nip is angled with respect to the first side of the nip.
