    Abstract: A reproduction apparatus imaging material dispensing system has a replaceable and rotatable imaging material dispensing container from which an at least partially magnetically attractable consumable imaging material is dispensed. There is an optical imaging material level sensing system mounted outside of the container for optically detecting the imaging material inside the container through translucent walls thereof and signaling an insufficient remaining quantity of imaging material. A magnetic brush cleaning system internally cleans imaging material from the inside of a annular translucent wall area of the container to provide and maintain relatively unobstructed such optical sensing. It can be provided by a stationary magnet mounted outside of but adjacent to the container to attract magnetically attractable imaging material to the inside of the container wall to form a magnetic cleaning brush to clean the translucent wall annular area. This allows a light receiving sensor on one side of the container to detecting light from a light emitter on the other side of the container through the magnetically cleaned translucent annular band. The magnet can extend substantially the full length of the outside of the container to clean the entire interior thereof.

    Abstract: A development system for a reproduction machine includes a pair of augers which mix and transfer the developer mixture to a magnetic roll brush system. A supply auger having a length at least as great as said magnetic brush roll is positioned along a horizontal plane and adapted to transport developer material in a direction so as to supply said material to said magnetic brush roll. The auger has a first portion thereof having an irregular blade edge and wedge shaped paddles to eliminate auger mark print defects.

    Abstract: A device is provided for storing a supply of particles for use in a developer unit of an electrophotographic printing machine. The device includes an open ended container defining a chamber in communication with the open end of the container. The particles are stored in the chamber of the container. The device also includes a puncturable seal attached to the open end of the container for sealing the chamber. The container is installable into the developer unit without removal of the seal. The device further includes an internal seal attached to the open end of the container. The internal seal is internal to the puncturable seal. The internal seal has a surface closely conforming to the open end of the container. The internal seal is removable from the open end of the container by displacement of the internal seal into the chamber of the container.

    Abstract: La presente invencion proporciona un dispositivo para almacenar un suministro de partículas para su uso en una unidad reveladora de una máquina de impresion electrofotográfica. El dispositivo incluye un recipiente con extremos abiertos que define una cámara en comunicacion con el extremo abierto del recipiente. Las partículas son almacenadas en la cámara del recipiente. El dispositivo también incluye un sello que se puede perforar fijado al extremo abierto del recipiente para el sellado de la cámara. El recipiente es instalable en la unidad reveladora sin la remocion del sello. El dispositivo incluye además un sello interno fijado al extremo abierto del recipiente. El sello interno es interno con respecto al sello que se puede perforar. El sello interno tiene una superficie que se conforma estrechamente al extremo abierto del recipiente. El sello interno es removible desde el extremo abierto del recipiente por el desplazamiento del sello interno hacia la cámara del recipiente.
