- the belt 12 comprises a photoconductive layer of se lenium which is the light receiving surface and imaging medium for the apparatus, on a conductive backing.
- the surface of the photoconductive belt is made photosensitive by a previous step of uniformly charging the same by means of a corona generating device or corotron 13.
- the belt is journaled for continuous movement upon three rollers 20, 21 and 22 positioned with their axes in parallel.
- the photoconductive belt assembly 14 is 'slidably mounted upon two support shafts 23 and 24 with the roller 22 rotatably supported on the shaft 23 which is-secured to the frame of the apparatus and is rotatably driven by a suitable motor and drive assembly (not shown) in the direction of the arrow at a constant rate.
- a suitable motor and drive assembly (not shown) in the direction of the arrow at a constant rate.
- the portion exposed is that portion of the belt running between rollers 20 and 21.
- the reflected light image of such original document positioned on the platen is flashed on the surface of the belt to produce an electrostatic latent image thereon at exposure station A.
- the electrostatic image passes through a developing station B in which there is positioned a developerassembly generally indicated by the reference numeral 15, and which provides development of the electrostatic image by means of multiple brushes 16 as the same moves through the development zone.
- the developed electrostatic image is transported by the belt to a transfer station C wherein the presentinvention may be positioned and whereat a sheet of copy paper is moved between a transfer roller and the belt at a speed in synchronism with the moving belt in order to accomplish transfer of the developed image solely by an electrical bias on the transfer roller.
- a sheet transport mechanism generally indicated at 17 adapted to transport sheets of paper from a paper handling mechanism generally indicated by the reference numeral 18 to the developed image on the belt at the station C.
- the sheet After the sheet is stripped from the belt 12, it is con- Y veyed into a fuser assembly, generally indicated by the reference numeral 19, wherein the developed and transferred xerographic powder image on the sheet material is permanently affixed thereto. After fusing, the
- finished copy is discharged from the apparatus at a suitable point for collection externally of the apparatus.

- Such rotation a transfer assembly generally indicated as 30, having a I transfer roller 32 secured to a shaft 34 which is mounted for rotation in suitable bearings supported in hub assemblies 36, 37.
- a pulley 38 is affixed to one end of the shaft 34 extending through the hub assembly 36 and engages an endless timing belt 40 entrained around an idler pulley 41 and a drive pulley 42.
- the pulley 42 is secured to one end of a drive shaft 44 which also supports the transfer assembly.
- the drive shaft 44 is mounted for rotation in the hub assemblies 36, 37 above' the transfer roller 32 in parallel with the shaft 34 and extends outwardly beyond the hub assemblies 36,
- the other end of the drive shaft 44 beyond the hub assembly 37 is suitably connected to the main drive system for the machine.
- Bearings 48 are positioned on the ends of the shaft 44 and are positioned. in frame support assemblies, generally indicated as 50 and 52 (see FIGS. 5 and 6).
- Each of the frame support assemblies 50 and 52 is comprised of a frame section-54 having a cylindrically shaped machined surface56 for receiving the bearings 48 of the support shaft 44.
- An upwardly extending tab section 58 is formed on the frame section to receive a clamp 60 pivotally mounted to the tab section 58, such as by a pin 62.
- the clamp 60 is held in locking relationship to the frame section 54 by ascrew 64.
- the frame section 54 is provided with a shaft receiving opening 66 and mounting holes 68 for affixing the frame assembly 52 to the main body (not shown) of the electrostato graphic machine.
- the frame section 50 is similarly formed with respect to frame section v of the locking shaft causes the lever elements to rotate clockwise about the shaft 72 forcing the pin section 82 thereof to press against one side of the cooperating grooves 84 on the hub assemblies thereby causing slight rocking movement or rotation of the entire transfer assembly about the shaft 44. This, in turn, forces under spring tension the transfer roller assembly 30 against the photoconductive surface 12.
- This relationship of pressure contact of the transfer roller 32 with the photoconductive member 12 facilitates image transfer and permits the transfer roller 32 and photoconductive member 12 to function as part of the transport system for image receiving members.
- a cleaning brush having stub shafts 102, one at each end thereof, extending into the hub assemblies 36, 37.
- the hub assembly 37 includes the drive train for effecting rotation of the brush 100'in accordance with the transfer roller 32.
- a semi-cylindricalcovering or housing 104 for containing the brush is suitably mounted in the hub assemblies 36, 37. The bristles of the brush are in interferring engagement with the surface of the roller 32 and upon relative rotation between the roller and the rotary brush, a sweeping action is accomplished.

- the drive train for producing rotation of the rotary brush 100 includes a drive gear 108 mounted on the drive shaft 44 to be driven thereby.
- the gear 108 is in mesh with an idler gear 110 which, in turn, is in mesh with a gear 112 secured to the adjacent stub shaft 102 for the rotary brush 100.
- the transfer roller 32 and the brush 100 rotate in the same direction during brushing operation giving maximum difference in relative surface velocity.
- the relationship of the diameters of the gears 108, 110 and 112 is such as to provide an approximate ratio of :1 to the rotary speed relationship of the cleaning brush to the transfer roller, which ratio has been found to be optimum in cleaning efficiency.
- This provides an impact velocity for the brush bristles relative to the toner particles which is of sufficient force to dislodge the particles dependently of the rotation imparted to the rotary cleaning brush.
- Other modifications of the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art upon a reading of the present disclosure which modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention.
- a transfer assembly having a transfer roller mounted proximate to said photoconductive member, a rotary cleaning brush mounted adjacent said roller and having bristles in interferring engagement with the surface of said roller, said roller and said brush being mounted to rotate in the same direction, and means for pivotally supporting said assembly so that said roller can be moved into and out of contact with said photoconductive member, said pivotally supporting means permitting said roller and said brush to be moved as a unit.
