摘要： A mechanism for adjusting the location of a rotatable mixer and rotatable transport mechanism within the development station housing of an electrographic reproduction apparatus development station. The development station includes a housing, a rotatable mixer assembly located in a developer material reservoir within the housing, a developer device for applying developer material to an electrostatic image to be developed, a rotatable transport mechanism for moving developer material from the reservoir to the developer device, and a drive mechanism for rotating the rotatable mixer, the rotatable transport mechanism, and the developer device. The adjustment mechanism describes a first locating device for adjustably positioning the drive mechanism relative to the reservoir of the development station housing, and a second locating device for adjustably positioning the rotatable mixer and the rotatable transport mechanism relative to the development station housing. The second locating device includes a spacer member for maintaining a predetermined fixed distance between the rotatable mixer and the rotatable transport mechanism.

摘要： A seal assembly for preventing developer material from damaging the drive shaft bearing in an electrographic reproduction apparatus development station. The development station has a housing defining internal chambers for particulate developer material, a rotatable mixer located in a developer material reservoir chamber within the housing, a developer device for applying developer material to an electrostatic image to be developed, a rotatable transporting mechanism for moving developer material from the reservoir chamber to the developer device, and at least one drive shaft, carried in a bearing supported by the development station housing, for rotating the rotatable mixer, the rotatable transporting mechanism, and the developer device. The seal assembly includes a plurality of seal members associated with the drive shaft and extending progressively outwardly, in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft, from the developer material housing chambers of the development station toward the bearing. At least one of the seal members rotates with the drive shaft while adjacent seal members remain stationary.
