Abstract

In einem elektrofotografischen Kopierer weist die Fusereinrichtung einen zwischen einem Paar einander gegenüberliegender Luftkammern (12, 14) verlaufenden Bewegungsweg für das Papier auf. Jede Luftkammer (12, 14) besitzt eine diesem Papierbewegungsweg zugewandte Luftzuführplatte (20), wobei die Luftzuführplatte (20) mit Schlitzen (24) versehen ist, welche die Kühlluft auf das sich bewegende Papier richten. Die Platte (209 der unteren Luftkammer enthält parallel zu dem Bewegungsweg des Papiers verlaufende hervorstehende Rippen (18), um das sich bewegende Papier zu führen und zu der Platte (20) zu beabstanden, um den Luftstrom durch Reduzierung des Luftströmungswiderstandes zu verbessern.

In an electrophotographic copier, the fuser device includes a path of travel for the paper passing between a pair of opposed air chambers (12, 14). Each air chamber (12, 14) has an air supply plate (20) facing this paper travel path, the air supply plate (20) being provided with slots (24) directing the cooling air onto the moving paper. The lower air chamber plate (209) includes protruding ribs (18) parallel to the path of travel of the paper to guide the moving paper and space it to the plate (20) to improve airflow by reducing the air flow resistance.
