Abstract

Apparatus where stripping copy sheets from a heated fuser member utilized in a xerographic copier. The apparatus is characterized by the provision of a plurality of stripper fingers and combination support and bias means therefor wherein the support and bias means comprises a unitary member and each stripper finger in conjunction with its associated unitary member constitutes an integral assembly. The assemblies are fixedly supported adjacent the fuser member whereby the leading edges of the stripper fingers engage the fuser member to strip the copy sheets therefrom. The position of the assemblies can be varied in order to vary the pressure exerted by the stripper finger on the fuser assembly.
