Abstract:
A cleaning device for removing developer from the surface of a reusable and movable image bearing member comprises a cleaning member which extends transversely of the movement direction of the image bearing member, a device for transporting the removed developer along the transverse direction, a passageway for leading the transported developer to a collecting element, and a rotatable helical member for preventing the deposition of the removed developer on the passageway.
Abstract:
A slit exposure device of the type in which an original carrier is fixed and an optical system is movable. A driving force transmitting member adapted to move an optical system is passed over output shafts, and rotation of the output shafts causes two groups of optical elements to be reciprocated at a speed ratio of 2 : 1. One of the movable groups of elements requires that an electric cord be connected thereto, wherein one end of the electric cord is fixed, the direction of the cord being changed during movement by means of a rotatable member.
