Apparatus for removing residual developer material from a surface of a printing machine.

摘要

A cleaning apparatus for removing residual developer material remaining on a surface of a printing machine (Fig 3) is provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a movable cleaning brush (104) naving bristles. The brush (104) is positioned adjacent to the surface so that as the movable brush (104) is moved, the bristles contact the surface and the residual developer material is removed therefrom. A detoning device (200) is positioned adjacent to the movable cleaning brush (104) in a manner that permits the bristles to contact the detoning device (200) as the movable cleaning brush (104) is moved. The detoning device (200) includes a plurality of hook-like and/or teeth-like members (204: Fig. 7) which dislodge the residual developer material from the bristles as they contact the hook-like members.
