ABSTRACT:
A compact multi-blade cleaning system for a photoreceptor device, such as a belt or a drum used in the electrostatographic printing process includes a block of thermoplastic material. The block has a plurality of parallel cuts extending partially therethrough so as to form a plurality of cleaning blades. Each of these has a cleaning edge, adapted for contact with a surface of the photoreceptor device and an opposed securing edge. An uncut portion of the block forms a connecting member for connecting the plurality of cleaning blades at their securing edges so that they move in unison. A mechanism is provided for advancing the plurality of cleaning blades, one by one, into contact with the photoreceptor device.
