Abstract
Provided is an imaging device having a wastebin assembly and a hopper assembly. The imaging device includes a photoconductive member mounted within the wastebin assembly and a developer member mounted within the hopper assembly. The wastebin assembly and hopper assembly are connected by a biasing element that pushes the hopper assembly toward the wastebin assembly such that the developer member and the photoconductive member are pushed into contact with each other forming a nip between the two members.
Claims18
An imaging device, comprising:
- a wastebin assembly;
- a photoconductive member rotatably mounted to said wastebin assembly;
- a hopper assembly connected to said wastebin assembly;
- a developer member rotatably mounted to said hopper assembly;
- a biasing element adapted to push said developer member of said hopper assembly into contact with said photoconductive member of said wastebin assembly, thereby forming a nip between said developer member and said photoconductive member.
