Abstract
An apparatus which cleans particles from a photoconductive member arranged to advance along a predetermined path. When the photoconductive member is stationary, the particle cleaner and photoconductive member are spaced from one another. The photoconductive member is deflected into engagement with the particle cleaner in response to the photoconductive member advancing along the pre-determined path. In this manner, the particle cleaner removes residual particles from the photoconductive member during the movement thereof along the pre-determined path.
