Abstract
A drive gear for a generally cylindrical imaging component. The drive gear includes a body for engaging the generally cylindrical imaging component; a cylindrical shaft attached to the body, the cylindrical shaft having an end surface; and three prongs extending longitudinally outward from the end surface.
Claims6
A drive gear for a generally cylindrical imaging component, the drive gear comprising:
- a body for engaging the generally cylindrical imaging component;
- a cylindrical shaft attached to the body, the cylindrical shaft having an end surface;
- and
- a generally triangular shaped element extending outward from the end surface, wherein at least one vertex of the generally triangular shaped element is blunt and at least one side of the generally triangular shaped element has an indentation,
- wherein each of three sides of the generally triangular shaped element has a concave portion.
