Abstract (en)

A cleaning blade structure (70) for removing residual toner particles from a flexible photoreceptor (10) supported for movement in an endless path. An elastomeric blade member (72) is rigidly supported by a support (74) such that there is no extension of the blade beyond the end of the support. Rigid support of the blade in this manner allows tip loads to be varied independently without varying the tip angle. This allows combinations of tip angles and blade loading which are not possible with conventional cleaner blade devices without changing blade free length and/or thickness.
