Abstract: Cleaning apparatus for cleaning the residual toner image from an electrostatic plate of an electrostatic reproduction apparatus incorporates an open celled foam wiper which is mounted for wiping engagement with the plate. The foam wiper is mounted adjacent a conductor which is biased to attract charged toner particles to the wiper as the toner image moves relative therepast. The wiper is periodically cleaned by a serrated or grooved portion of the plate which follows the image and mechanically dislodges toner from the wiper. A reverse bias is applied to the conductor as the serrations on the plate move past the wiper creating a field between the wiper and the plate which repels toner from the wiper to the plate. The toner is carried by the serrations on the plate to the developer unit for use by the electrostatic reproduction apparatus.

Abstract: COPIER/COLLATOR WITH EXTENDED COLLATE FUNCTIONS The invention concerns a method and apparatus for operating a copier/collator installation. By disabling the copier portion insofar as copy production is involved, the copier/collator installation can be used as an offline collator. This extended function allows the execution of copy and collate jobs which exceed the capacity of the collator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a small collator/sorter adaptable for use with a document producing machine such as a copier and having particular utility as the only output receptacle. The collator/sorter is a multi-pocket device with a limited number of bins, each of which has a limited copy capacity and is well suited to be constructed and arranged as an integral part of a copier serving as a replacement for the conventional exit tray. The paper bins are preferably contained within a small space such that they can be unloaded in a one hand operation.

Abstract: A toner usage sensing system for an electrostatic reproduction apparatus which utilizes multicomponent developer material including electrostatically charged toner to develop electrostatic latent images on a photosensitive plate directly senses the amount of toner consumed by the reproduction process. Since the average toner body charge (coulomb/gram) is constant for a given desired toner concentration, the weight of the electrostatically charged toner consumed in sensed by measuring the charge removed from the developer material during the reproduction process. The developer unit containing the developer material is electrically isolated from the remainder of the reproduction apparatus and grounded through a single connection. The current in the ground connection returns charge to the developer unit sufficient to replace the charge removed and is sensed to obtain a measurement of the toner consumed. A measured amount of toner is added to the developer material when a preselected amount of charge has been sensed as being removed. In one embodiment, a DC motor drives the toner replenisher and rotates an amount proportional to the sensed current thereby providing a mechanical storage of the incremental amounts of toner removed on widely spaced reproduction runs.

Abstract: A continuously operating transfer reproduction apparatus includes a cyclic control unit which automatically effects alternate redevelopment and reimaging cycles when reproducing multiple copies of the same master. An electrophotographic plate travels in a closed loop past a moving optical system which images the plate with a light image of the master creating a latent electrostatic image on the plate. The latent image is developed at a developing station and transferred to a substrate at a transfer station as the plate travels therepast. Increased throughput speed is achieved by effecting a fixed number of redevelopment cycles while the moving optical system is resetting. Thus, the plate continues its travel past the resetting optical system to the developing station where the latent image is redeveloped and thence to the transfer station for transfer of the developed image to a second substrate. The plate is then cleaned and charged prior to being reimaged with the light image of the same master, and the process continues until the requisite number of copies have been reproduced. In one embodiment, multiple imaging areas, preferably an odd number thereof, are located on the plate facilitating rapid alternate imaging and redevelopment cycles.
