Title:
CLEANING CARDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006041895
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A cleaning card for use in cleaning internal surfaces of a machine-reading mechanism includes a substrate having discrete raised areas in opposed surfaces thereof. Each raised area includes a peak and a peripheral wall having an edge remote from the peak, the peak of each raised area being farther from a central plane of the card than the edge of the peripheral wall. Relief means are provided in the substrate for preventing the peaks of some of the raised areas from flattening toward the central plane such that peaks will not engage and clean desired surfaces of a machine-reading mechanism when the cleaning card moves in the machine direction in other than a single, linear plane. A cleaning card may include embossments for providing a gripping region to be gripped by rolls of a machine-reading mechanism, and also for use in a method for cleaning rolls of the machine-reading mechanism.
