Abstract (en)

Process and apparatus far reducing and/or eliminating chances of new or used cleaning blades installed in a laser printer toner cartridge, failing in operation due to high friction forces applied by the photo-sensitive member (24), achieved by trimming the corners (30) of the polymeric section (20) of the blade and thus reducing the farces and pressure applied on the corners, or by fabricating new cleaning blades with angled or rounded corners.
