Abstract: A copier/finishing system is disclosed as having one or more copy sheet compiling bins whereat copy sheets are collated into copy sets preparatory to a binding operation. In order to support copy sets being moved from one or more bins to a binding station to be stitched or stapled, there is disclosed a copy set support apparatus which supports each copy set being so moved and which is quickly withdrawn to permit the bound copy set to fall by gravity into a set collecting tray.

Abstract: A fastening apparatus having two or more stapling devices and drives for moving either of the devices selectively to permit selective positioning of staples before a stapling operation. An indication system cooperates with the drives for operator use in selecting the positioning of staples for different sizes of sheets to be fastened.

Abstract: An improved oil metering blade assembly for maintaining a uniform film of oil on the surface of a fuser roll of a heated pressure fusing apparatus for fusing toner images. The blade holder is loaded by a single point loading mechanism to effect uniform loading of the blade with the fuser roll surface to ensure a uniform oil film thereon.

Abstract: An improved oil metering blade assembly for maintaining a uniform film of oil on the surface of a fuser roll of a heated pressure fusing apparatus for fusing toner images. The assembly is mounted in such a manner as to be easily releasable from the frame for cleaning and/or replacement of the metering blade.

Abstract: An improved plural cleaning rolls assembly for cleaning the residual toner particles from the heated fuser roll of a heated pressure fusing system in an electrostatic copy machine. The improved assembly includes a carriage supporting a plurality of cleaning rollers in contact with the surface of the heated fuser roll. A pressure loading mechanism applies a force on the carriage and cleaning rollers against the surface of the heated fuser roll. Each of the cleaning rollers is rotatably supported on a shaft which is connected to the carriage by a flexure member mounted on a shaft journaled in the carriage to enable independent flexure and alignment of the cleaning rolls relative to the fuser roll surface.
