  • Patent number: 5878307
    Abstract: A toner cartridge for supplying toner to a replenishment apparatus of an electrophotographic imaging device has an elongated cylindrical container filled with toner. The container has a longitudinal axis, an open end and a closed end. An end cap is adapted and arranged to close the open end and to accommodate relative rotational motion between the container and the end cap. The end cap has a flange portion defining an open end terminating in an end portion having an edge. An elastomeric seal is provided to effect a positive, relatively low-friction toner seal between a relatively rotating container and the end cap. The seal in an exemplary embodiment comprises an elastomeric band, which is sized properly to affix onto the outside diameter of the cap end portion, with a portion of the seal extending beyond the cap end portion.
