摘要： A device for encoding the position of a moving web, particularly a continuous photoreceptor belt (22) in an electrophotographic printing apparatus, incorporates an encoding wheel (72) for engaging an edge portion of the web, in combination with a long support member (80,84) for supporting the remaining span of the web. Because the wheel (72) is of a small width, the composite runout may be kept within acceptable limits for a lower cost compared to the long rollers of the prior art. The support member may include another roller (80) for supporting the remaining span of the web or it may include a skid plate (84). The wheel (72) can be manufactured within the required eccentricity and composite runout tolerances at a lower cost compared to prior art devices. The wheel (72) can also be made with a larger diameter while the support roller can be of a compact construction to facilitate placement within the limited space in the printing device.

摘要： An encoder interface for interfacing an encoder having a first part (104) defining a first axis to a structure having a second part (106) defining a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis includes a portion for translating the first part (104) with respect to the second part (106) in a direction transverse to the first axis and a portion for rigidly rotationally stabilizing the first part (104) with respect to the second part (106) against a rotation of the first part (104) about the first axis induced by a translation of the first part (104) with respect to the second part (106) in the direction transverse to the first axis.

摘要： A belt drive module and a corresponding method includes or employs a belt (10) that moves along a path, at least one support roller (12) or other structure that supports the belt as it moves along the path, a drive roller (11) that effects movement of the belt along the path, a tension roller (74) that applies a tension force to the belt in order to maintain engagement of the belt with the drive and/or support rollers, at least one processing station (e.g., an image processing station) disposed along the path that performs a process relative to a predetermined position of the belt, and a torque assist drive that applies a torque assist force (T d ) at a location between the drive roller and the tension roller. Torque assist may be provided by a current limited DC motor or by a constant torque friction clutch applied to a roller (66), e.g., a stripper roller of an electrophotographic imaging system. Advantageously, the torque assist force (T d ) facilitates accurate positioning of the belt (e.g., latent image registrations in a color imaging process employing multiple imaging processing stations) by reducing slippage between the drive roller and the belt that may be encountered due to belt wear, toner contamination and/or other debris.

摘要： An apparatus for removing electrostatically charged particles from a surface such as the backside of an image bearing belt (10) of the type found in an electrostatographic printing apparatus or a drive roller supporting an image bearing belt. The apparatus includes an electrically biased foam pad (110) having a conductive substrate and conductive foam material extending outwardly therefrom to contact the surface to be cleaned, a supporting device (190), and a cleaning device (120) for removing collected particles from the foam pad. The supporting device for the foam pad rotates, thereby causing clean foam material to contact the surface to be cleaned.

摘要： An apparatus for removing electrostatically charged particles from a surface such as the backside of an image bearing belt of the type found in an electrostatographic printing apparatus or a drive roller supporting an image bearing belt. The apparatus includes an electrically biased brush having a substrate and a multiplicity of conductive fibers extending outwardly to contact the surface to be cleaned, a supporting device, and a cleaning device for removing collected particles from the brush. The supporting device for the brush rotates, thereby moving the brush and causing clean fibers to contact the surface to be cleaned.
