Abstract
An improved plural cleaning rolls assembly for cleaning the residual toner particles from the heated fuser roll of a heated pressure fusing system in an electrostatic copy machine. The improved assembly includes a carriage supporting a plurality of cleaning rollers in contact with the surface of the heated fuser roll. A pressure loading mechanism applies a force on the carriage and cleaning rollers against the surface of the heated fuser roll. Each of the cleaning rollers is rotatably supported on a shaft which is connected to the carriage by a flexure member mounted on a shaft journaled in the carriage to enable independent flexure and alignment of the cleaning rolls relative to the fuser roll surface.
