  • Method and device of joining multiple parts of a toner cartridge
    Patent number: 8611781
    Abstract: Imaging devices, such as laser printers, often use a toner cartridge to print images on a recording medium. For both environmental and economical reasons, it is often desirable to reuse an exhausted toner cartridge. Some imaging devices use toner cartridges comprised of two sections that are fixed together with some limited movement. This limited movement is necessary to compensate for any misalignment in the toner cartridge and to reduce printer defects. Disclosed is a method and device for remanufacturing this type of toner cartridge.

  • Universal Part for Use In An Image Recording Apparatus
    Publication number: 20130064573
    Abstract: Disclosed is a universal OPC drum that allows a remanufacturer to stock a minimum number of OPC drum sleeves of the various sizes and then add the appropriate gear for the desired cartridge at the time of cartridge remanufacture. The inventory of gears for the various cartridges is easier to store and permits a remanufacturer to be more flexible. A universal hub may also include an electrical contact on each end to maintain universality without regard to whether the OEM contact is mounted on the drive or non-drive side of the OPC drum.
