摘要： A system for cooling a developer roll inside an image forming device. In one embodiment of the invention, the system for cooling the developer roll includes an air duct for carrying an airflow, the air duct having at least one opening to allow airflow to pass therethrough, and at least one toner cartridge in fluid communication with the air duct. The at least one toner cartridge includes the developer roll and at least one input port. The at least one input port is coupled to the at least one opening of the air duct to receive the airflow and to direct the received airflow towards end portions of the developer roll via a conduit and nozzles located within the toner cartridge. The system provides an effective way for introducing the airflow into the toner cartridge for cooling the developer roll.

摘要： An end seal for use in an image forming apparatus that provides increased contact pressure using projecting ribs at nip locations formed between an end of a roll and the ends of other components such as a doctor blade or flap seal and lower contact pressure along the end of the roll. Contact pressure may be varied by changing the thickness along portions of the projecting ribs or the use of transverse ribs between each of the projecting ribs and a second surface of the end seal.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a cartridge for containing toner material used in an image-forming device. The cartridge comprises a developer roll, two J-seals that provide interfaces with the developer roll at the ends thereof, and an air duct that conducts airflow across the interfaces to cool the developer roll and seals. The air duct comprises an elongated hollow body and a pair of nozzles in fluid communication with the hollow body. One of the nozzles is disposed at a distal end of the developer roll near one J-seal, and the other of the nozzles is disposed at a proximal end of the developer roll near the second J-seal.

摘要： A rotating cover on the developer unit of an imaging apparatus to prevent toner leaks from the toner entry port of the developer unit. When installing a toner cartridge, the cartridge contacts a surface to cause the cover to rotate to an open position, thereby exposing the toner port for receiving toner. Conversely, when the toner cartridge is removed the cover is rotated into a closed position with the aid of a torsion spring so as to seal the toner entry port of the developer unit.

摘要： A cleaner assembly within a printer cartridge is provided that moves waste toner from photoconductive drum and stores it in a waste toner storage container. The cleaner assembly includes an auger, a drive shaft, and the waste toner storage container that includes a tube with plurality of perforations. The tube has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to an inlet to receive the waste toner and the second end extends to a point vertically above the inlet. The auger extends into inside of the waste toner storage container through the inlet and follows passage formed by the tube inside the waste toner storage container. The perforations in the tube allow the waste toner to move from inside the tube to the waste toner storage container, thereby resulting in maximum utilization of the space inside the inside the waste toner storage container.
