Method and device for removing toner from a photoconductive drum in a xerographic apparatus.

摘要

In order to remove toner deposited on a rotating drum (2) in a xerographic copying machine, a blade (18) is positioned with its scraping edge (25) closely adjacent to a surface of the drum (2). Vibrations are imparted to the blade so as to bring the scraping edge (25) alternately into and out of contact with the surface of the drum (2) at short time intervals.
