Claims10
Apparatus comprising:
- a frame,
- a rotatable photoreceptor drum supported by said frame, said rotatable photoreceptor drum having a movable outer surface to be cleaned, and
- a movable cylindrical contact cleaner adjacent to said rotatable photoreceptor drum, said movable cylindrical contact cleaner having a tacky outer surface disposed for synchronous moving contact with and cleaning of said movable outer surface of said rotatable photoreceptor drum when said movable outer surface of said rotatable photoreceptor drum is moved, said tacky outer surface of said movable cylindrical contact cleaner being more tacky than said movable outer surface of said rotatable photoreceptor drum.
Apparatus comprising:
- a frame,
- a rotatable cylindrical member supported by said frame, said cylindrical member having a tacky movable outer surface,
- a web to be cleaned having an outer surface in contact with said tacky movable outer surface of said rotatable cylindrical member, and
- a movable cylindrical contact cleaner adjacent to said rotatable cylindrical member, said movable cylindrical contact cleaner having a tacky outer surface disposed for synchronous moving contact with and cleaning of said tacky movable outer surface of said rotatable cylindrical member when said tacky movable outer surface of said rotatable cylindrical member is moved, said tacky movable outer surface of said movable cylindrical contact cleaner being more tacky than said tacky movable outer surface of said rotatable cylindrical member.
