1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a media feedpath. More particularly, the present invention relates to a media feedpath having a feed assist assembly positioned along the media feedpath.
2. Description of the Related Art
Printing and other peripherals having media feeding functionality typically feed or index media by utilizing opposed pairs of rollers along a media feedpath. The opposed rollers engage or pinch media rotate to control and advance the media along the feedpath.
When feeding media to a printer or to a scan window of an auto-document feed scanner, the media is typically indexed or advanced through a feed roller nip to either a print zone or scanning zone. However, the media typically extends backward through the feedpath beyond the feed roller nip and therefore may be engaged by other roller nips located along the feedpath. The sum of forces applied by these other roller nips acting on the media introduces resistive forces on the feed roller nip which may cause print or scan defects. Also, C-shaped feedpaths cause additional resistive forces on the feed roller nip due to the bending of the media in passing through the feedpath.
It would be desirable to assist the feed roller nip in advancing media by eliminating or reducing upstream forces from these other nips engaging media. Additionally, it would be desirable to improve media feeding by limiting resistive forces at the feed roller nip in order to decrease print and scan defects.
A media feedpath having a feed assist roller, comprises a media feedpath having a C-shaped portion, a media input and a feed roll nip, an input roller feeding media from the media input, a feed assist roller downstream of the C-shaped portion of the media feedpath, the feed assist roller assisting media indexing through the media feedpath on a single side and without an opposed pinch roller, the feed roll nip having a driven roller and a feed roll pinch roll opposite the driven roll, the feed assist roller being driven by a toggle gear transmission from the driven roller of the feed roll nip, the gear train adapted for toggling to operably engage or disengage the feed assist roller depending on a driving direction of the driven roller of the feed roll nip. The feed assist roller is spaced from a wall of the media feedpath allowing passage of media there between when the media is driven by the input roller. The feed roll nip pulling the media against the feed assist roller. The toggle gear transmission engaging the feed assist roller when the driven roller rotates in a forward direction. The toggle gear transmission disengaging the feed assist roller when the drive roller rotates in a reverse direction. The toggle gear transmission is a gear train. The media feedpath further comprises a gear generally connected to the feed assist roller for engaging the gear train. The media feedpath is a simplex feedpath. Alternatively, the media feedpath is a duplex feedpath.
A feed assist media feedpath assembly comprises a media feedpath having a media input, a C-shaped portion downstream of the media input, and a feed nip downstream of the C-shaped portion, a feed assist roller positioned between the C-shaped portion and the feed nip for feeding media, the feed assist roller not having an opposed pinch roller, the feed assist roller being over-driven relative to a driven roller of the feed roll nip, a toggle gear train assembly driving the feed assist roller in a forward direction or disengaging the feed assist roller when the driven roller is reversed. The feed assist roller creating a load buffer in the media between the feed assist roller and the feed roll nip. The load buffer being a slight buckle in the media for reducing resistive forces on the feed roll nip. The media feedpath comprising a simplex feedpath portion. The feed assist media feedpath further comprising a duplex feedpath portion. The feed assist roller disposed at a junction between the simplex path and the duplex path.
A feed assist media feedpath comprises a media feedpath having a simplex portion and a feed roll, a feed assist roller disposed along the feedpath, a toggle gear train assembly driven by a feed roll gear, the toggle gear train assembly movable between a first position engaging a feed assist gear for driving the feed assist roller and a second position disengaging the feed assist gear, the feed assist roller frictionally engaging media in order to assist movement of media through the media feedpath and overdriven relative to the feed roll to provide a load buffer at the feed assist roll.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views, there are shown in
Referring initially to
Extending from the housing 12 at the front of the device 10 is a media input 22 and a media output 24 for retaining media before and after a print process, respectively. The exemplary input and output 22,24 are embodied by trays however other media retaining structures may be utilized. The media input and output 22,24 of the printer mechanism 20 define start and end positions of a media printing feedpath 30 through the printer mechanism 20. The media trays 22,24 of the present embodiment are shown as being fixed however it is within the scope of the present description that such trays be telescoping for slidable extension during printing or slidable retraction into a nested configuration when not in use. The media input and output 22,24 each retain a preselected number of sheets defining a stack of media (not shown) which will vary in height based on the media type. The input 22 defines a starting point of the media feedpath 30, which passes through the housing 12 and extends from the front portion of device 10 at the output 24. Although the lower tray 22 is an input tray and the upper tray 24 is an output tray, it is well within the ambit of one of ordinary skill in the art that the input 22 and the output 24 could be reversed to provide a printing feedpath moving from top to bottom. Further, one skilled in the art will understand that the media feedpath 30 is a C-shaped media feedpath due to the depicted configuration but alternatively could be formed as an L-shaped feedpath.
Positioned on an upper portion of the device 10 is a scanner 25. The scanner 25 comprises an auto-document feed (ADF) scanner 26 and a flat bed scanner 27. The flat bed scanner 27 comprises a lid 14 which is hingedly connected to the housing 12 or a frame of the device 10. The lid 14 provides access to a flatbed scanner 27 for scanning target images such as photos, drawings or other target images on media not suitable for auto-document feeding. Positioned on or adjacent the tray 14 is the auto-document feed scanner 26 which comprises a second scanning means generally for the purpose of scanning a plurality of documents suitable for auto-document feeding and may be used to copy, fax, or digitize documents. Where such documents are not suitable for ADF scanning, the flatbed scanner 27 may be utilized. The lid 14 also functions as a media tray since media may be positioned thereon and fed into the auto-document feeder 25.
The all-in-one device 10 further comprises utilizes the print mechanism or printer portion 20 as previously mentioned. For ease of description and clarity, the exemplary printer portion 20 is an inkjet printing device, although other types of printing mechanisms may be utilized such as dye-sublimation, ink-jet printing mechanism or laser printing and therefore should not be considered limiting. And, although not shown specifically, the following general description of printing components will be understood by one of ordinary skill as parts relating to an inkjet printer. The printing portion 20 may include a carriage having a position for placement of at least one print cartridge C (FIGS. 2 and 7-10). In the situation where two print cartridges are utilized, for instance, a color cartridge for photos and a black cartridge for text printing may be positioned in the carriage. As one skilled in the art will recognize, the color cartridge may include three inks, i.e., cyan, magenta and yellow inks. Alternatively, in lower cost machines, a single cartridge may be utilized wherein the three inks, i.e., cyan, magenta and yellow inks are simultaneously utilized to provide the black for text printing or for photo printing. In yet a further alternative, a single black color cartridge may be used. During advancement, media moves from the input tray 22 to the output tray 24 through the substantially C-shaped media feedpath 30 beneath the carriage and cartridge C. As the media M moves into a printing zone, beneath the at least one ink cartridge C, the media M moves in a first direction as depicted and the carriage and the cartridges move in a second direction which is transverse to the movement of the media. During this movement, ink droplets are selectively ejected on to the media indexing through the feedpath 21 to form an image. The scanner 25 will not be described since such devices are known to those skilled in the art.
Along the front surface of the device 10 is an operations panel 16 which comprises a plurality of buttons 18. The operations panel and buttons 16,18 are in communication with a controller (not shown) which controls the various components of the device 10 as previously described. The controller (not shown) receives data communication from a host computer connected to the all-in-one device 10. The controller may be embodied by one or more micro-processors and controls the various functions of the peripheral 10 such as print mechanism 20 and scanner 25. Likewise, the controller provides outputs to signal a user of messages, menu selections, error conditions and the like either audibly or visually, or both. The device 10 may utilize a display on the operations panel 16 for communication visually with the user and may comprise a speaker for providing audio signals to the user. The device controller receives commands from selections made at plurality of control buttons 18 and accordingly operates appropriate components of the device 10, such as the printer 20, scanner 12 or the components described herein. Alternatively, the controller may receive commands from a computer connected to the device 10.
The peripheral device 10 may communicate with a computer or other device in various ways. For example, the device 10 may be connected to a host computer by a parallel cable or a serial cable. Alternatively, a USB cable connection may be utilized to connect the peripheral to the host computer. USB is a serial bus standard to interface peripheral devices providing plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer (hot swapping). USB also provides low power consumption devices without the need for an external power supply. The peripheral 10 may be connected to a CPU (not shown) or USB hub for utilizing the printing and scanning functions of the multi-function peripheral device 10. According to a further alternative, the device may be connected via network connection for example by wired Ethernet or local area network (LAN) connector allowing wired network communication for printing, scanning, faxing or other such functionality. In yet a further alternative, the peripheral may communicate wirelessly, for example using the IEEE 802.11 protocol, infrared or Bluetooth communication. These communication means are known to one skilled in the art and therefore are not described herein.
Additionally, the all-in-one device 10 may comprise a memory card reader station 17. The memory card reader station 17 is depicted adjacent the control panel 16. The memory card reader 17 receives various types of memory cards which may store picture files for printing or other manipulation by the device 10. These include USB flash drives, Secure Digital (SD) cards, micro SD cards, Sony� memory stick devices and the like. The media card reader station 17 receives various media types having images located thereon desired for printing. The images may be displayed on a peripheral device monitor or a monitor connected to a personal or networked computer (not shown) and may subsequently be edited or formatted as desired and printed through printer portion 20, saved to memory card at reader 17, to a computer or to a network storage device (not shown).

Moving along the C-path portion 36 in the feed direction F, a C-path nip 44 is positioned therein for receiving media from the media input 22 as well as the duplex path portion 33. The C-path nip 44 may comprise an ACM, known to one of skill in the art, having at least an input gear 45 and an ACM roller gear 46. A roller 48 is operably engaging the roller gear 46, both of which are connected to a shaft in order to pivot within the C-path portion 36. Opposite the roller 48 is a pinch roller 47 which defines the C-path nip 44 for feeding of media through the C-path portion 36 and onto the feed roller nip 60. The roller 48 is pivotable about the axis of the input gear 45 in order to open or close the nip 44, depending on the feed direction. As one skilled in the art will understand, the C-path nip 44 may be designed to close when a feed roller 64 is moving in reverse and may be geared to feed in a forward direction so that the media M feeding through the duplex path portion 33 is controlled by the nip 44 and fed forward to the feed roller nip 60 during a duplex print pass or a subsequent collation pass.
Moving along the feed direction from the C-path nip 44, a nipless feed assist roller assembly 50 is depicted comprising a feed assist shaft 52 having a nipless feed assist roller 54, which may comprise one or more rollers mounted axially on the feed assist shaft 52. A feed assist gear 56 is connected to the feed assist shaft 52 to receive input from a toggle transmission assembly 70. The nipless feed assist assembly 50 does not utilize a pinch roller opposite the nipless feed assist roller 54 for defining a nip. Instead, the nipless feed assist roller 54 simply utilizes friction between the roller 54 and media M in order to assist media moving toward the feed roller nip 60. However, with some limited amount of resistance, the feed roller 54 will slip relative to the surface of the media due to the lack of an opposed pinch roller, thus the feed roller 54 is merely an assist roller, engaging only a single side of the media M, and is not in full control of the media, by use of a nip, during feeding.
Downstream of the nipless feed assist roller assembly 50 is a feed roller nip 60 comprising a pinch roller 62 opposed from a driven feed roller 64. Disposed concentrically with the feed roller 64 is a feed roller gear 66 which is driven by a motor (not shown) and a feed roller transmission (not shown). The at least one feed roller 64 and feed roller gear 66 are mounted on a feed roller shaft 68, which receives input from the motor and feed roller transmission for driving the toggle transmission assembly 70.
The toggle transmission assembly 70 receives input from the feed roller gear 66 of the feed roller shaft 68. The toggle transmission assembly 70 is embodied by a gear transmission, but various transmissions may be utilized including belt drive and the like. The assembly transmission 70 comprises a first toggle transmission gear 72 which receives input from the feed roller gear 66. The first toggle transmission gear 72 is operably engaging a second toggle transmission gear 74. The first and second toggle transmission gears 72, 74 receive input from the feed roller gear 66 and transmit that rotational torque to a toggle gear 76. The toggle gear 76 engages the feed assist gear 56 to rotate the nipless feed assist roller 54 in the forward direction when the feed roller 64 is rotated in a forward direction. However, the toggle transmission assembly 70 causes pivoting movement of the toggle gear 76 about the second toggle transmission gear 74 and away from the feed assist gear 56 when the feed roller 64 is rotated in a reverse direction, such as during duplex feeding or media de-skew. Otherwise stated, the toggle gear 76 orbits about the transmission gear 74.
Referring now to
The transmission assembly 70 further comprises a toggle arm 78 which is frictionally engaging the second toggle gear train gear 74 so that when the gear 74 rotates, the arm 78 will move in the same direction as the gear rotation due to the frictional engagement between the arm 78 and the gear 74. Accordingly, in one direction of rotation of the gear 74, the toggle gear 76 moves towards the feed assist gear 56. Alternatively, with an opposite rotation of gear 74, the toggle gear 76 moves away from the feed assist gear 56. Thus rotation of the nipless feed assist roller 54 is controlled by engagement or disengagement of the gear 76 with the feed assist gear 56.
Referring now to
The toggle arm 78 also comprises a stop 79 which is integrally molded with the arm 78. The stop 79 engages a portion of the paper guide assembly 92 and limits the toggle arm 78 movement in both a clockwise direction toward the feed assist gear 56 and a counter-clockwise direction away from the feed assist gear 56.

Nineteen sick crew-members, thought to be suffering from food poisoning aboard the 584-foot cargo ship 'JS Comet' have been hoisted from their anchored vessel 3 miles off Port Canaveral, Florida.
USCG informs that two MH-60 helicopter crews from Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater safely hoisted the crewmembers from the vessel in 35 knot winds and five to 6-foot seas associated with Tropical Storm Arthur. Due to deteriorating weather conditions and the crew's symptoms worsening, the Coast Guard determined the safest course of action was to evacuate the patients via helicopter rather than a Coast Guard smallboat.
The JS Comet crew became ill early Tuesday reportedly suffering food poisoning like symptoms, and following consultation with the Center for Disease Control and a Coast Guard flight surgeon and other medical professionals, the decision was made to transport the 19 crewmembers to a local area hospital.
Two crewmembers from the JS Comet not experiencing illness remain aboard the vessel which is under a Captain of the Port Order, which prohibits the 584-foot South Korean-flagged cargo ship to enter any U.S. port of call until the following conditions are met.
Under the authority of Ports and Waterways Safety Act, the motor vessel JS Comet is prohibited to enter any port and remain at anchor outside of Port Canaveral until the following conditions are met:
•The U.S. Coast Guard determines the nature of the illness and the expected duration.
•Vessel shall have a minimum of three harbor safety tugs immediately available to assist in the event that the vessel starts to drag anchor.
•Provide credential mariners to assist in anchor watch to include at least one navigational officer, one deckhand or able seaman and one engineer.
•Maintain an hourly communication schedule with Sector Jacksonville command center to report position, crew status and any other safety concerns via VHF radio.
•Vessel minimum safe manning requirements are adequately satisfied to ensure the safe operation of the vessel when it has been cleared to depart.
"The health and well-being of the ill crewmembers was our top priority," said Capt. Tom Allan, commanding officer and captain of the port for Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville. "Our responders performed extraordinarily in challenging conditions to get the sick crewmembers to the hospital. We are coordinating with the company to identify qualified personnel to operate the vessel, mitigate the maritime environmental risks and ensure the public's safety."

Stemming from the Sandy Hook/school scene in I, Pet Goat 2 thread, I believe most of us understand now that this was not just a simple animated video that went viral with immense popularity. It is probably one of the most analyzed non-Hollywood/entertainment videos ever made! Is it a timeline of future events? Was the school scene symbolic of the Sandy Hook massacre? Are the following scenes chronologically in order or random? I can't say for sure but it starting to unfold that way…
Madonna's half-time show too was huge when it came to symbolism. Looking back at it now, it was just an intro to what the Olympics presented as the 'MAIN EVENT' I believe. The no-show Mayan Apocalypse 'ending' on 12/21/12 literally left the world hanging, but not so much so as the emotionally distraught event of the Sandy Hook massacre. This was by far the second biggest event after 9/11 that shuddered the world over…and all because of the precious children. Based on that notion, most of us have made it a personal mission to find out and EXPOSE THE TRUTH for once and for all!!
I've compiled a list of 'dots' from the obvious to 'really strange' (my specialty!)…as well as montages (another specialty!) because visuals do speak louder than words. I'm curious to know your theories as well so please post them here.
I prayed about posting this for the past two nights, wondering if I should bother making the effort anymore…Lord knows how exhaustive the research is as well as whether there's any point in speculating these sinister events any longer…whether they fail or not. I received the following two verses: Psalm 23 two mornings ago and Matthew 5:11-12 this morning, both on my daily Bible verse app on my phone.
I just smiled and shook my head in amazement…
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
The important aspects of that pet goat video were that it basically told the truth about the elitist plan.
1. 9/11 was a ritual involving sex magic.
2. Islam is the new fair haired belief system the UN must cater too and favor over the west to gain legitimacy for the inevitable jurisdiction over individual countries; i.e. the US must be betrayed.
3. jesus blowing up wall street implies a form of self destruction; possibly a loss of faith in the institutions of tradition. It is certainly not a past reflection, but a glimpse into the future.
That said, I dont really believe above. 9/11 in fact was a cohesion device; and obligatory cooperation with the military industrial complex; presumably for like minded goals.
I think it is really about internal cohesion and adminsitrative control, top to bottom regimentation to make it all happen. It is clear that the metamorphosis of the NWO is showing vulnerabilities as it is inherently inferior policy; t results in greater efficieny but far lesser quality.

WASHINGTON, May 31 (JTA) The White House has switched its main contact with the Jewish community once again, this time looking to a 26-year-old from the president's scheduling office. Jeffrey Berkowitz was named the White House liaison to the Jewish community Tuesday, replacing Noam Neusner, who held the position for a year and now serves as spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget. Berkowitz had served as Neusner's deputy for Jewish issues in recent months, familiarizing himself with the community. He spoke to several groups last week at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference, and has been consulting with Jewish leaders in Washington. The appointment of a liaison with little connection with the Jewish organizational world may raise some eyebrows, given the Republican Party's push to make inroads into the Jewish community. But Jewish leaders stressed that many organizations have connections to senior people in the White House, including Neusner and other high-level Jews in the administration. The naming of a Reform Jew also is interesting, given the broad support President Bush has received from Orthodox and more religiously conservative Jews. It comes at a time when Bush may need to court support from more liberal Jewish groups, who say they have been shunted aside and shut out of meetings with senior administration officials. Many of these liberal groups are more supportive of Israel's plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, which Bush has endorsed, than the Jewish groups and leaders Bush has formed ties with. Berkowitz, who declined to comment on the appointment, will maintain his main job as associate director of scheduling, where he coordinates and vets appointments for Bush and helps plan major events. He previously worked for the Republican National Committee as a foreign policy and defense analyst, and on the 2005 presidential inaugural committee. He worked briefly earlier this year as press secretary for the Republican Jewish Coalition. William Daroff, the RJC's deputy director, said Berkowitz's energy would make up for any lack of institutional relationships. "Jeffrey Berkowitz is an incredibly hard-working, intelligent and articulate professional," Daroff said. "His time at the RNC brought him into the room with the top people and government leaders of our party." Berkowitz is the fourth man to hold the portfolio under Bush. Neusner's predecessor, Tevi Troy, returned to the White House earlier this year as deputy director of domestic policy. Adam Goldman, Bush's first liaison, is a consultant in Austin, Texas. Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Washington director of American Friends of Lubavitch, has met with Berkowitz, and said knowledge of the Jewish community is not as important as access to the president and other senior administration officials. Berkowitz's day job may give him such access. Indeed, Jewish leaders worked well with both Troy and Neusner, who took on the Jewish portfolio in addition to their senior administrative roles. "Jeff knows the community somewhat and is eager to learn more at this point," Shemtov said. "But what probably matters more is how close he is to the president." Berkowitz, a New Haven, Conn. native, attended American University in Washington and worked at several think tanks and trade associations before joining the RNC in July 2002. He was active in Hillel in college and is a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity. Berkowitz is not expected to take on any Middle East policy tasks in his new position, despite his background in the area, sources told JTA. Traditionally, Jewish liaisons have tried to steer away from national security issues.

Incredible LIFE pictures of the aftermath of a Cold War atomic bomb test
The American state of Nevada is most famous as being the home of Las Vegas, the pleasure capital of the world, but its empty stretches of deserts die a darker history. These incredible LIFE pictures by Loomis Dean capture the aftermath of a 1955 nuclear test designed to find out what manner of destruction an atomic bomb could reap on everything from homes, to canned food.
A small town populated by mannequins was erected and Loomis was right at the forefront as investigators inspected the effects of the bomb. His pictures have a winsome, straightforward beauty but also they unsettlingly echo a time – at the height of the Cold War – when humankind's annihilation was a constant presence and exercises like this, as the excellent _LIFE _write-off pints out, were considered "routine."

Japanese iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G SIM lock explained
Apple has offered some clarification on the situation regarding the SIM lock on iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G units sold in Japan. It was originally reported that all iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G models sold in Japan would be SIM-locked to SoftBank. Only a few days later, according to a Mobile in Japan article, Apple CEO Steve Jobs responded to a customer email by saying that "[a]ctually, the version of iPad sold in Japan does accept international SIMs." This was contradicted by information on Apple's own website, which stated that users could not use a micro SIM from another country in iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G units purchased in Japan. Apple has since told the Wall Street Journal that Japanese iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G models will only work with SoftBank in Japan but are unlocked for use with other carriers abroad; whether or not iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G units purchased outside of Japan will work in Japan will depend on the roaming agreement of the user's carrier.

And yet, soon after Losing's release, Island gave American Hi-Fi the heave-ho. Undeterred, Jones moved Hi-Fi's HQ to Los Angeles, hooked up with producer Butch Walker, and got to work recording a new record. Hearts on Parade was released in Japan first, and as they shopped for a domestic label Jones and his band went out on tour with Walker. Maverick eventually expressed interest, and Parade was issued stateside in April 2005. In 2007 the bandmembers announced they were going to work on a new album, but trouble with their record label pushed back the release date. The band eventually formed its own label, Hi-Fi Killers, and released its fourth album, Fight the Frequency, in 2010.
After a relatively quiet spell -- mainly due to Jones and Arentzen's involvement in organizing and playing as part of Miley Cyrus' live band -- American Hi-Fi found their impetus again following a sold-out show at London's 100 Club in May 2014. Jones later admitted that they hadn't been a fully functioning band since 2005, but the buzz created by this low-key gig inspired them to set about recording another album. Released that September, much of Blood & Lemonade was co-written with former Wire Train member Kevin Hunter. In early 2016, American Hi-Fi announced that they would be recording an unplugged version of their eponymous debut album. The resulting American Hi-Fi Acoustic was issued via Rude Records in April of that year. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Employers expect slight uptick in 2014 group health plan costsComments Email
By Jerry Geisel, Crain News Service
CHICAGO (March 7, 2014) — Group healthcare plan costs paid by employers will bump up a bit this year, but still will be lower than increases in recent years, according to a new survey.
Employers responding to a National Business Group on Health/Towers Watson & Co. survey are projecting their costs will rise to an average of $9,560 per employee in 2014, an increase of 4.4 percent from $9,157 in 2013. While that's higher compared with 2013's average cost increase of 4.1 percent, the increase is well under the nearly 6 percent annual hike cost increase averaged from 2009 through 2012.
Account-based plans more popular
That easing of healthcare plan inflation comes as employers have moved aggressively in adopting new strategies and designs to better keep costs in check, according to the survey, which was released March 6.
For example, nearly three-quarters of employers now offer employees account-based plans, while 9 percent of employers in 2014 expect to add such plans, in which health savings accounts or health reimbursement arrangements are linked to a high-deductible health insurance plan. The plans, because of their high deductibles, are much less costly than more traditional plans, while giving employees strong financial incentives—greater exposure to costs and the opportunity to build up their accounts—to use healthcare services carefully.
And some employers have embraced account-based plans more strongly. Nearly 16 percent of employers now offer account-based plans as their only plan design, up from just 7 percent as recently as 2012.
Employers are taking other steps to control costs. For example, nearly one-quarter of respondents use premium surcharges—averaging $100 per month—in situations where employees' spouses are eligible for coverage elsewhere but decline it.
In addition, more employers are expected to eliminate coverage to pre-Medicare-eligible retirees. Nearly two-thirds of employers that provide such coverage say they are likely to eliminate the plans in the next few years and steer the retirees to public exchanges, where, if their incomes are less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level, they would be eligible for federal premium subsidies.
Surveyed results are based on the responses or 595 employers with 7.8 million employees enrolled in their healthcare plans.
This report appeared on the website of Crain's Business Insurance magazine, a Chicago-based sister publication of Tire Business.

I am a father of many. I feel like I raise my children a bit differently than those around me.
I sometimes get complimented for how my children behave. Sometimes people think my kids are too independent.
My kids' grannies are often abhorred by how much responsibility I put into their hands at a (comparatively) early age. Friends often consider me too rigorous.

THE FRENCH SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT has been forced into an embarrassing U-turn over its controversial profits tax, just two weeks after proposing it in its 2014 Finance Bill.
It comes as French manufacturers claimed that it would unfairly penalise them in the global marketplace.
The 1% operating profits levy – based on EBITDA – was proposed on the 25 September. It was designed to help bring down the French deficit, currently 95.1% of GDP – one of the highest within the eurozone countries. France's overall tax burden, 46.1% of GDP, is among the highest in the developed world.
Finance minister Pierre Moscovici has instead confirmed the government will seek to raise the existing corporation tax rate.
Earlier this year, the European Commission gave France an additional two years to bring its deficit to below the 3% below GDP target for Euro-currency countries.
Business service company TMF Group's global head of tax Richard Asquith said: "The new tax hit a wall of protest as it was seen as hurting France's global prospects. It is not yet clear if a rise in the existing corporation tax will be enough, or whether more spending cuts will be required."

All Blacks
New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew has confirmed Sonny Bill Williams only needs to make one brief appearance for Counties Manukau to qualify for the All Blacks' end of year tour.
Williams' availability will depend on fitness and how far the Sydney Roosters progress towards the NRL grand final, which is scheduled for October 5.
"His contract allows for that and our policy allows for that provided he plays in the NPC," Tew said today. "Whether that's the right thing for Sonny Bill Williams to go on the tour, or whether he's good enough to go on that tour are for other people to decide.
"The policy is a little open ended - just that you play in the preceding competition. I guess you could say 10 minutes off the bench [for Counties] might tick the box.
"The more important questions are what is the right thing for him to be in the best shape possible for rugby in 2015 and who are the best players to deliver the outcomes [All Blacks coach] Steve [Hansen] wants to deliver."
More than half the tickets to the All Blacks' first end of year tour match on November 2 in Chicago have been sold. The venue at Soldier Field, home of NFL heavyweights, the Chicago Bears, can hold up to 61,500. The NZRU is expected to be paid $1 million to cover costs.
"We're close to selling 35 to 40,000 effectively to the American rugby fraternity," Tew said. "Most of those have been sold outside of Chicago. Our big push in Chicago doesn't start for a few more weeks."
The three Sanzar nations are due to present the new expanded 18-team format to broadcasters - Sky Television, Fox and Super Sport - this month.
Finalised negotiations will provide the backbone for rugby in all three countries and there is wide-spread expectation of gaining an increased profit from previous agreements.
Tew, however, denied the consistently poor performances of the South African teams, which currently occupy four of the last six positions, would have an adverse effect on the broadcast bottom line, despite the Africans contributing the lion's share of overall revenue.
"Someone has to come last," he said. "That's just the reality of the competition. I don't have any more concerns now than when they first put it on the table. It's well documented we questioned whether they've got the player depth, but for reasons we can't control, they have to have a sixth team and we're now getting on with it.
"Our package is more than just Super Rugby. Rugby Championship is a very important value driver, as are the June internationals and the Lions tour.
"Super Sport might be looking at the performance of the South African teams, but the competition structure gives them more games in South Africa, so we think the value has increased and that's the argument we'll be taking to the table."
A review into the Junior All Blacks World Cup performance is also about to begin. Tew admitted the team had not met expectations in recent times, having failed to win the tournament for the last three years. A replacement coach for Chris Boyd, who takes over at the Hurricanes next year, would be made at the end of the review, with assistant Scott Robertson the early favourite.
"There will be a review. We take a development focus with that team but every team in a black jersey is there to win. The results the last couple of years haven't been what we want. We reviewed last year very thoroughly and made some changes. We invested some more money so they could have more camps and still haven't ended up with the result we would have liked, which is making the final.
"There is clearly a different approach being taken by other countries in the training maturity when they turn up to this tournament."
