ABSTRACT:
A sealed system for collecting and removing waste imaging material from a reproduction apparatus in a waste collection container removably insertable into the reproduction apparatus so that the inlet opening of the container is positioned at discharge outlet of a pneumatic cleaning system, especially, the outlet of a cyclone air/toner separator. The container has a dual mode resilient pneumatic seal surrounding its inlet, and an integral insertion guide member. The cleaning system discharge outlet includes a spring loaded sled member and a flexible pneumatic seal connecting between the sled member and the discharge outlet to allow limited movement of the sled member. The insertion guide member of the container slides on an entrance guide path into compressed superposed engagement with the sled member to form a pneumaticaly-sealed waste material path between the discharge outlet of the reproduction apparatus cleaning system and the interior of the waste container when so inserted. Also provided is a cap for sealing the inlet opening of the container when the container is removed by engagement with the same, dual mode, resilient pneumatic seal surrounding the inlet opening of the container. Also, a mating detent system is provided, which also protects the seal.
