Abstract:
This is an auger shaft seal used in an electrophotographic marking system. The seal is made up of alternating raised and depressed pie-shaped sections, each having edges that force developer away from auger bearings. The seal of this invention can be used on bi-directional augers and will protect the bearing when the auger moves in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The seal is used with a magnetic seal to add additional protection for the bearings.
