Abstract:
An article used to seal the interface between the developer roll, doctor blade and developer housing in a laser printer toner cartridge is described. The sealing member described in the present application performs static sealing between the components while the cartridge is idle and performs dynamic sealing while the toner cartridge is used for printing, keeping the sealing surfaces free from toner by actively pushing the toner back into the developer sump. The seal has a rotary seal portion which seals between the frame of the cartridge and the developer roll, and a blade seal portion which seals between the frame of the cartridge and the doctor blade. The rotary seal portion is biased toward the surface of the developer roll and incorporates, on its face adjacent to the developer roll, ridges which act to push the toner away from the edge of the developer roll in use. The blade seal portion is biased toward the doctor blade.

Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
G03G 1508
US Classification:
399284
Abstract:
A device and method of supporting a doctor blade within an image forming apparatus. The device has a housing for positioning a doctor blade such that a bottom edge contacts a developer roller. One or more extensions are positioned to support a first side of the doctor blade. The one or more extensions may include dampeners which are constructed of a resilient material. Supports are positioned on a second side of the doctor blade. The doctor blade is sized to fit between the one or more extensions and the supports. A method of supporting the doctor blade includes positioning the doctor blade to dampen vibrations and velocity fluctuations caused by sticking and slipping of the bottom edge of the doctor blade against the developer roller.

International Classification:
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399 90, 399116
Abstract:
A photoconductive member for an image forming apparatus includes a hollow, conductive cylindrical drum; an insulating end cap disposed axially within the drum at either end thereof, each end cap including an axial bore; a shaft disposed axially through the drum and the bores, the shaft electrically isolated from the drum by the end caps; and an electrical contact assembly operative to bias the drum, but not the shaft, to an operating voltage.

Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
G03G 15/04
US Classification:
399119, 399110, 399111
Abstract:
A toner cartridge included with an image forming device when initially sent to a user. The cartridge has a limited toner capacity. The user is able to print with the small capacity cartridge upon initially receiving the image forming device. Once the toner is exhausted, a second large capacity cartridge having a greater toner capacity can replace the small capacity cartridge. The small capacity cartridge and the large capacity cartridge are constructed in a similar shape to be mounted in the same manner within the image forming device.

US Classification:
399110
Abstract:
An imaging unit of an image forming apparatus is provided including a handle mechanism. The imaging unit includes at least one of a photoconductor unit and a developer unit for developing a toner on the photoconductor unit. The handle mechanism is mounted on a frame portion of the housing and is configured to pivot between a collapsed position and an extended position. When in the collapsed position, the handle mechanism is substantially flush with a surface of the housing to accommodate a toner cartridge. When in the extended position, the handle mechanism automatically returns to the collapsed position by gravity when released from a user's grip.
Toner Cartridges Having Positional Control Features

International Classification:
G03G 15/08
US Classification:
399258, 399262
Abstract:
A toner cartridge for use in an image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for containing toner therein. The housing has an exit port in fluid communication with the reservoir to permit toner from the reservoir to pass out of the housing. A first leg and a second leg each project from a bottom portion of the housing to limit the side-to-side travel of the toner cartridge during insertion into the image forming device. Wing guides are positioned on opposite side surfaces of the housing. A stop extends from each wing guide to limit the forward travel of the toner cartridge in the image forming device. Rounded projections extending from the bottom surfaces of the wing guides define contact points to control the vertical position of the toner cartridge in the image forming device.
