  • Patent number: 7040826
    Abstract: Imaging apparatus in accordance with the present invention generally include a housing and a portal defined therethrough, whereby a vacuum filter cartridge can be placed in an operable position within the housing by way of the portal. The vacuum filter cartridge can have a hose operatively connected thereto. Air can be induced to flow into and through the hose, and thereby into and through the vacuum filter cartridge. The airflow can have a velocity sufficient to cause debris to be inducted into the hose and into the vacuum filter cartridge to be filtered, thus rendering the vacuum filter cartridge and hose operable as a cleaning device.

  • Patent number: 6823162
    Abstract: A toner cartridge includes a housing which defines a toner reservoir. A rotatable endless belt is located within the toner reservoir. The belt can be used to agitate or stir toner which can be placed in the toner reservoir. In one example the belt has periodic openings in the belt which allow toner to pass through the belt so that agitated toner can be provided to toner distribution components within and outside of the toner cartridge.
