Trail edge copy registration system

Claim 1

In a copier system having an image processor which forms images on a copy substrate, means for exposing images of documents to said processor, transfer means for transferring the images of the documents from said processor to the copy substrate, and feed means for feeding the copy substrate to said processor, the improvement comprising: copy substrate trail edge registration means for transporting and registering the copy substrate in synchronism with an image produced by said processor, said copy substrate registration means including belt means for receiving the copy substrate from said feed means, said belt means comprises an enclosed loop of material with integral discrete fingers molded therein and spaced along the loop, said fingers extending vertically therefrom for capturing the trail edge of the copy substrate and registering the copy substrate while transporting it toward said processor, said transfer means comprises a corona generator which sprays ions onto the backside of copy substrate as they pass the generator, said ions electrostatically attaching the copy substrates to said processor causing said processor to pull the copy substrates away from said copy substrate registration means and transport the copy substrates for further processing.
