Secure Collection Box For Mail Pieces

View page
US Patent:
7182246, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
May 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/431327
Inventors:
Mark E. Sievel - Newtown CT, US
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
B65G 11/04
US Classification:
232 45, 232 47
Abstract:
A drop box for storing mail pieces includes an enclosure, and an articulated door which runs on tracks. The door is selectively positioned in a horizontal course. When the door is in the horizontal course, a mail piece may be inserted through an opening in the enclosure and placed on the door. The door is then withdrawn from the horizontal course to allow the mail piece to drop into a lower portion of the enclosure. When the door has been withdrawn from the horizontal course, it closes the opening in the enclosure.

Multi-Mode System For Dispensing Adhesive-Backed Labels

View page
US Patent:
8167017, May 1, 2012
Filed:
Nov 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/618093
Inventors:
Benjamin J. Kolp - Derby CT, US
David A. Beckstrom - Milford CT, US
Mark E. Sievel - Newtown CT, US
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
B65C 9/00
B29C 65/48
B32B 37/00
B32B 38/04
B32B 38/10
B32B 38/14
B32B 43/00
US Classification:
156387, 156510, 156540, 156759, 156764, 156767
Abstract:
A system for dispensing adhesive-backed labels includes a housing assembly defining a first dispensing outlet, a system for conveying a supply of label material along a feed path and a peeler bar, positionable from a first position to a second position, to effect an abrupt directional change in the feed path thereof, and cause the face material to separate from the liner material. A processor is employed to control the bi-directional displacement of the conveyance system and position the peeler bar within the housing such that the label material is: (i) conveyed downstream of the peeler bar when the peeler bar is in the first position, and (ii) drawn back across the peeler bar to cause a trailing edge of the face material to separate form the liner material when the peeler bar is in the second position.

Method And System For Printing Variable Length Adhesive Labels

View page
US Patent:
20080223512, Sep 18, 2008
Filed:
Mar 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/724561
Inventors:
Mark E. Sievel - Newtown CT, US
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Incorporated - Stamford CT
International Classification:
B32B 38/04
US Classification:
156250, 428409
Abstract:
Systems and methods for printing various length adhesive labels using continuous adhesive label stock and a mechanical cutter that eliminates problems associated with the build up of adhesive on the cutter blade are provided. A continuous label stock includes regions where adhesive is provided interspersed with regions where there is no adhesive provided. After printing has occurred, the continuous label stock is fed to a mechanical cutter that separates the printed label from the continuous label stock by cutting through a region where there is no adhesive provided. As such, no adhesive will be transferred to the cutter blade, thereby removing any possibility of a build up of adhesive on the cutter blade. Since there will not be any build up of adhesive on the cutter blade, problems associated with the build up of adhesive on the cutter blade are eliminated.

Dimensional Rating Of A Mail Piece Using A Touch Screen On A Mail Kiosk

View page
US Patent:
20120123970, May 17, 2012
Filed:
Nov 17, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/947919
Inventors:
Michael J. Lorello - Guilford CT, US
Mark E. Sievel - Newtown CT, US
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06Q 50/00
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705410
Abstract:
A system and method for determining the dimensions of a mail piece using a built-in touch screen of a mail kiosk. A mailer is instructed to place the mail piece into a specified corner of the touch screen of the mail kiosk. The user is then instructed to touch the touch screen by the opposite corner of the mail piece. The touch screen registers the location touched by the mailer, and provides the information to a processing device of the mail kiosk. The processing device uses the information received from the touch screen to determine the dimensions of the mail piece.

System For Detecting Tampering With A Postage Value Accounting Unit

View page
US Patent:
47808357, Oct 25, 1988
Filed:
Jun 23, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/877593
Inventors:
Mark E. Sievel - Bethel CT
Ronald P. Sansone - Weston CT
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
G06F 1520
G06G 748
US Classification:
364550
Abstract:
A system for processing batch mail in which evidence of tampering with a postage value accounting unit is provided. The accounting unit cooperates with a printer to print postage and the zip code in bar code form on a mail piece. If there is evidence of tampering with the accounting unit, as incorrect zip code in bar code form is printed.

Apparatus Method For Centering And Aligning Sheets

View page
US Patent:
55160930, May 14, 1996
Filed:
Sep 6, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/300908
Inventors:
Michael D. Ballard - Sandy Hook CT
Joseph H. Marzullo - Brookfield CT
Mark E. Sievel - Newtown CT
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
B65H 900
US Classification:
271240
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for centering and aligning sheets. The apparatus includes a D-roller assembly for cyclically engaging and transporting sheets and a centering and aligning mechanism for centering the lining sheets which is synchronized with the operation of the D-roller assembly so that the centering and aligning mechanism acts upon the sheets before the sheets are engaged by the D-roller assembly. The centering and aligning mechanism includes a pair of elements extending parallel to, and symmetrically from the center-line of, the path followed by the sheets and the elements cycle from first positions inward to second positions separated by approximately the width of the sheets so that sheets positioned between the elements are centered a aligned. Movement of the elements is synchronized with the D-roller assembly by a pair of complementary oppositely faced barrel cams mounted on a common shaft with the D-roller assembly. To center and align the sheets the D-roller assembly is rotated to cyclically open and close its nip and the elements are cyclically moved between the first positions and the second positions so that the elements reach the second positions while the nip is open, remain in the second positions until the nip closes, and return to the first position before the nip begins to close again.

Method And Apparatus For Verifying Indicia Correctly Provided On An Object

View page
US Patent:
49009419, Feb 13, 1990
Filed:
Sep 18, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/098581
Inventors:
Maya R. Barton - Ridgefield CT
Ronald P. Sansone - Weston CT
Mark E. Sievel - Bethel CT
International Classification:
G06K 710
US Classification:
250566
Abstract:
A technique for verifying that indicia, such as print indicia, are provided at the correct location(s) on an object. Relative movement between the object and a sensor is provided. If sensed indicia are located at an expected position on the object, an indicia-bearing object is vertified. One or more samples of a proper object are scanned to establish a template which defines those locations at which indicia on the samples are located. This template is used subsequently to verify the presence of proper indicia-bearing objects.

Intelligent Torque Limiting Through Current Sensing

View page
US Patent:
59821213, Nov 9, 1999
Filed:
Dec 17, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/992822
Inventors:
Gary Jacobson - Norwalk CT
Doug Clark - Wallingford CT
Mark Sievel - Newtown CT
Wesley Kirschner - Hamden CT
Assignee:
Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT
International Classification:
H02P 540
US Classification:
318434
Abstract:
A system that limits the torque of motors and discontinues motion control activity of system components in order to protect electrical and mechanical system hardware. Mechanical stresses are controlled by a microprocessor in a manner that they will not exceed predefined limits so that mechanical components will not be destroyed. Thus, replacement of major system components such as drive electronics and fuses may be avoided. Hence, there will be a reduction in service calls to repair the motors and system components.
