Latest Patents

One of Grant W Beach's latest patents is an "Apparatus for re-inking the ribbon of a printer ribbon cartridge." This invention features a printer ribbon cartridge that includes an internal re-inking mechanism. The mechanism comprises a drive assembly, pump, eccentric, ink reservoir, ink feeding tube, re-inking ring, and transfer roller. As the ribbon is threaded and propelled through the drive assembly, the pump transfers ink from the reservoir to the re-inking ring, ensuring the ribbon is adequately re-inked for optimal performance.

Another notable patent is the "Segmented ink reservoir." This innovation provides an ink reservoir capable of maintaining an even distribution of a single color of ink on a printer ribbon. The design includes cylindrical ink-carrying elements separated by sheets that restrict ink flow between them. This configuration ensures an even distribution of ink throughout the reservoir, leading to improved print quality by providing consistent ink transfer to the ribbon.
