ABSTRACT:
A fuser assembly having a pair of rollers in nip relation to transport a receiver member therebetween to permanently fix a marking particle image to such receiver member, and at least one skive mechanism for stripping a receiver member adhering to a fuser assembly roller from the said roller. The skive mechanism includes at least one elongated, relatively flexible skive finger. A major portion of the skive finger is supported by a support body so as to increase the rigidity thereof. The skive finger support body is mounted on an elongated shaft having a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of a fuser assembly roller. The longitudinal axes are spaced apart a predetermined fixed distance less than the sum of the longitudinal dimension of the support body for the skive finger and the radius of the fuser assembly roller. As such in a first position the skive finger engages the roller with the skive finger support spaced from the roller, and in a second position the skive finger engages the roller with the skive finger support in engagement with the roller to limit flexing of the skive finger to substantially prevent gouging of the peripheral surface of the fuser assembly roller or damage to the skive finger.
