20120033991 | PREVENTING DAMAGE TO A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - An in situ replacement cartridge ( | 02-09-2012 |
20120033992 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING DAMAGE TO A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - An in situ replacement of a cartridge ( | 02-09-2012 |
20120099894 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING DAMAGE TO A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - A method for in situ replacement of a cartridge for an electrophotographic printer includes providing a photoreceptive member enclosed in a housing where the housing includes a retractable shield. The housing and photoreceptive member is inserted into the printer and the shield is retracted. | 04-26-2012 |
20120099895 | APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING DAMAGE TO A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - A system for in situ replacement of a cartridge for an electrophotographic printer includes a photoreceptive member in the cartridge; a retractable shield enclosing the photoreceptive member; and a retraction mechanism in the cartridge for retracting the retractable shield when the cartridge is inserted into the printer. | 04-26-2012 |
20120141163 | DISENGAGING AN IMAGING MEMBER FROM A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - A method for engaging and disengaging an imaging member from a photoconductor includes enclosing the photoconductor in a shield; using a portion of the shield to maintain a space between the imaging member and the photoconductor; inserting the photoconductor and shield into an electrophotographic apparatus; and removing the shield which allows the imaging member to move into contact with the photoconductor. | 06-07-2012 |
20120141164 | APPARATUS FOR DECOUPLING A ROLLER CHARGER FROM A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - An apparatus for engaging and disengaging an imaging member from a photoconductor includes a shield enclosing the photoconductor. A detent on the shield to maintains a space between the imaging member and the photoconductor. Removing the shield allows the imaging member to move into contact with the photoconductor when the photoconductor and shield are inserted into an electrophotographic apparatus. | 06-07-2012 |
20120207509 | ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTER WITH DUST SEAL - An electrophotographic printer includes a rotatable photoreceptor adapted to receive dry toner and a rotatable toning member arranged with respect to the photoreceptor to supply toner thereto. A seal includes a complaint contact member and a non-contact member. The contact member is arranged in mechanical contact with the photoreceptor. The non-contact member is spaced apart from the surface of the toning member by a selected non-zero distance, the selected distance being greater than zero. This reduces dusting. | 08-16-2012 |
20120227236 | METHOD FOR MOUNTING A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - A method for mounting for a cylindrical photoreceptor ( | 09-13-2012 |
20120230728 | APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING A PHOTOCONDUCTOR - An apparatus for mounting a cylindrical photoreceptor (206) includes a gudgeon (241) attached to a photoconductor; a stationary mount (242) attached to the photoconductor ; and wherein a diameter of the stationary mount matches a diameter of the photoconductor. | 09-13-2012 |
