Abstract
An apparatus for pressing flat materials onto a transport module with a transport belt includes a holding carrier for pressing elements being disposed under a feed table. At least one of the pressing elements is mounted on the holding carrier with a multiplicity of individual resilient or sprung constituent parts, or a multiplicity of pressing elements are disposed on the holding carrier below the transport belt in a transport direction. The pressing elements can protrude through an opening in the feed table, in order to provide suitable pressure from below on the transport belt of the transport module.
Claims10
In a microprocessor-controlled printing apparatus including a transport module, a printing module not moving during printing in a printing position, a feed table on which flat materials are fed in to the printing apparatus, and a transport belt onto which the flat materials are pressed in a supporting region counter to the force of gravity, an apparatus for pressing the flat materials onto the transport module, the pressing apparatus comprising:
- a holding carrier disposed under the feed table;
- and
- pressing elements for protruding through an opening formed in the feed table to provide suitable pressure from below on the transport belt of the transport module;
- at least one of said pressing elements being mounted on said holding carrier with a multiplicity of individual resilient components or a multiplicity of said pressing elements being disposed on said holding carrier below the transport belt in a transport direction.
