ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process for cleaning the surface of an electrostatographic imaging member and an electrostatographic reproducing machine utilizing the cleaning apparatus. A device is provided for impinging a gas flow against the imaging surface for removing residual material therefrom and for applying suction to the surface to provide a suction flow for collecting the gas and the residual material and transporting them away from the imaging surface. Apparatus is provided for supporting the impingement device and the suction device close to the imaging surface including a device for forming a supporting gas cushion. In accordance with an alternative embodiment apparatus is provided for positioning the impingement and suction devices close to the imaging surface during operation of the cleaning system and away from the surface after the cleaning system has ceased to operate.
