Mounting doctor blades onto developer rolls in electrophotographic printers

摘要

A doctor blade may be mounted between a pair of L-shaped brackets. The brackets may include a pair of opposed openings that receive mounting posts which extend outwardly from the printer housing. A pair of threaded fasteners may be used to secure the assembly of brackets and doctor blade to the housing. The L-shaped brackets may include a long end and a shorter end, the longer end supportable on a land provided on the printer housing. The longer end of one of the brackets may overlap the longer end of the other of the brackets so that the doctor blade may flex away from one of the brackets.
