Definitions
- the invention relates to a fixing device for fixing toner images on a tape-shaped recording medium in a printing or copying device.
- a fixing device of the type mentioned is known from DE-C2- 4235668. It contains a guide saddle with a deflection edge over which the recording medium is fed to the actual fixing area.
- This guide saddle can serve on the one hand to heat the recording medium, and on the other hand it stabilizes the recording medium run.
- the record carrier slides over the sliding surface of the saddle and the deflection edge.
- the deflection edge is subject to much higher wear than the sliding surface. If the deflecting edge is worn, this leads to an inaccurate feeding of the recording medium to the subsequent fixing area, which significantly impairs the fixing quality and thus the print quality.
- the entire guide saddle must be replaced. This is complex and causes an undesired long interruption of the printing operation or makes it necessary to readjust the entire fixing station.
- the object of the invention is therefore to design a fixing device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that wear occurring in particular in the region of the deflecting edge of the guide saddle can be remedied in a very short time without changing the entire guide saddle.
- the deflection edge is designed to be exchangeable and, at least in the area of contact with the recording medium, is made of highly wear-resistant material, there is no need to completely replace the deflection saddle in the event of wear. This avoids long interruptions in operation of the printing device. There is no need for time-consuming readjustment of the fixing station.
- the deflection edge consists of a surface-hardened steel shaft, which is arranged in a receiving groove at the end of the guide saddle so that it can rotate.
- the steel shaft can be rotated by simply releasing the holder, and a new, unused area can thus be brought into contact with the recording medium. The original state is thus restored without readjustment.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a fixing station with an unheated pivoting saddle having an exchangeable deflecting edge
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the region of the exchangeable deflecting edge of the fixing station in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic side view of a fixing station with a heated swivel saddle and an exchangeable deflecting edge
- FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the region of the exchangeable deflecting edge of the fixing station in FIG. 3.
- An electrographic printing device for printing tape-like recording media of different tape widths contains a heat-setting station shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the heat-setting station is designed to accommodate two recording medium webs which are guided next to one another and which are coupled via a turning device. This enables duplex printing on a continuous paper web, a front toner image being fixed in the first pass through the fixing station and, after deflection in the second parallel pass, a rear toner image being fixed on the paper web.
- the fixing station essentially consists of a heated fixing roller 10 with a pressure roller 11 which can be pivoted on and off the fixing roller 10 and between which the recording medium 12 is guided.
- a toner image adhering to the surface of the recording medium 12 is fixed in the known manner in the fixing gap between the rollers 10 and 11 by pressure and heat.
- a pivotable guide saddle 13 arranged upstream of the rollers 10, 11 in the direction of the recording medium serves to feed the paper web 12 (recording medium) to the fixing gap between the rollers. Since the paper web 12 can already carry a fixed toner image on its rear side, the guide saddle 13 is unheated.
- the paper web 13 with the toner image to be fixed is guided around the fixing roller 10 at a wrap angle for preheating.
- the paper web 12 initially slides over a polished, optionally coated with PTFE sliding surface 14 of the steel guide saddle 13 and is deflected in the region of a deflection edge 15.
- the guide saddle 13 is slightly bent in the outlet area, so that the paper web 12 of the deflecting edge 15 is fed straight and smoothly.
- the deflection edge 15 in the illustrated embodiment consists of a steel shaft 16 extending over the width of the guide saddle 13 with a nitrided, hardened surface with a diameter of 10 mm.
- Steel shaft 16 is in turn fixed in a rotationally secure manner on one of the tabs by means of a fastening screw 21. Secure against rotation because the small radius of the steel shaft also serves as a smoothing edge for the paper web 12. In the event of wear, the fastening screw 21 on the steel shaft 16 is loosened and the shaft 16 rotated by approximately 45 °. In this way, up to eight wear cycles can be used. If this is not sufficient for the life of the device, the steel shaft 16 can be easily replaced by loosening a fastening tab 20.
- the guide saddle 13 consists of a preheating saddle with heating elements integrated therein, as is described in more detail in DE-C2-4235668.
- a steel shaft 16 is used as a deflection edge, which is fastened in a rotationally fixed manner in a precisely fitting receiving groove 18 of the guide saddle 13 via a holder 17.
- the paper images carrying the toner images are preheated in a known manner in simplex mode prior to the actual fixing in the fixing gap.

Abstract
Dispositif de fixage destiné à fixer les images de toner sur un support en ruban (12) dans une imprimante ou une photocopieuse, comportant une zone de thermofixage pourvue d'un cylindre de fixage (10, 11) et d'un étrier guide (13) pouvant pivoter en fonction des besoins, placé en amont de la zone de thermofixage par rapport au sens de progression du support. L'étrier présente, au niveau de son extrémité tournée vers la zone de fixage, un bord déflecteur (15) qui amène le support (12) à la zone de thermofixage. Le bord déflecteur (15) se présente de préférence sous forme d'un arbre en acier (16) anti-usure, pouvant être monté rotatif dans un support (17) de l'étrier guide.
