Blade seal for a xerographic module

摘要

In a xerographic printing apparatus, a blade is used to clean the surface of a rotating photoreceptor. At an end of the blade is disposed a flexible sealing member. The sealing member includes a bulk portion, one part of which contacts the surface of the photoreceptor and another part of which is attached to a stationary surface. Extending from the bulk portion is a tab which defines a diagonal edge. A portion of the diagonal edge contacts a surface of the blade.
