Abstract: A mechanism for cleaning an image-bearing surface in an electrostatographic apparatus includes an elongate container for receiving and holding toner and other particles removed from such surface. The container which includes a sump that has a front portion and a rear portion, is liftable from a first and generally horizontal position, to a raised, second and partially upended position on one end. The sump of the container includes slanted flow guides therein for moving toner and other particles from the front portion to the rear portion thereof by lifting the container from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A compact and less costly development apparatus includes a first magnetic field generated by a driven magnetic development roller, and a second magnetic field generated by a magnetic skive for effectively removing spent developer material from the development roller. The magnetic skive which consists of a stationary non-magnetic shell and a rotatable multiple pole magnetic core, is rotatably driven by a magnetic coupling formed by such first and second magnetic fields.
