TRANSFER APPARATUS FOR ELECTROSTATIC REPRODUCING MACHINES

摘要

In an electrostatic reproducing machine, a latent electrostatic image is formed and developed on a photoreceptor belt and transferred to a copy sheet at a transfer station where a transfer roller is mounted to be in contact with the photoreceptor belt. Suitable means are provided for engaging the transfer rollers into a position to be in contact with said photoreceptor belt when the machine is in operation and disengaging the transfer roller and moving it away from the photoreceptor belt so that the transfer roller does not touch the photoreceptor belt when the machine is not in operation. A brush roller may be provided for removing the residual toner particles remaining on the transfer roller and means may be provided for vacuuming the transfer roller and vicinity.
