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there is disclosed a copy set support apparatus which supports each copy set being so moved and which is quickly withdrawn to permit the bound copy set to fall by gravity into a set collecting tray.

High speed duplicator with sorter/stapling apparatus and copy set

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.

High speed duplicator with sorter/stapling apparatus and stapler

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.

Oil metering blade loading assembly

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.

Oil metering blade holder assembly

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.
