Belt Fuser Assembly Having Feature To Prevent Media Wrapping Of The Fuser Belt

摘要

A belt fuser assembly includes a housing, and a fuser belt rotatably mounted to the housing, with the fuser belt having a direction of rotation. A pivot body has a proximal portion pivotably mounted to the housing and has a first elongate member having a first distal end that extends from the proximal portion. The first elongate member has a width extending perpendicular to the direction of rotation of the fuser belt. The first distal end of the first elongate member has a smooth curved surface extending along the width for pressing against the fuser belt during a sheet jam occurring in the housing to prevent a sheet of media from wrapping around the fuser belt.
