Abstract
A reproducing apparatus including an image support surface such as a rotatable drum upon which an image may be formed and subsequently transferred to a transfer member such as paper is provided with a cleaner housing including a restrictor guide means positioned such that any transfer member remaining tacked to the image support surface as the image support surface enters the cleaner housing will be intercepted before it completely enters the cleaner housing. Preferably the restrictor guide means is used in conjunction with a blade cleaner for cleaning the image support surface and the blade cleaner and restrictor guide means together with the image support surface form a cavity within which a tacked transfer member is intercepted such that the trailing portion does not enter the cavity. With this apparatus fouling of the cleaner housing and unscheduled maintenance may be avoided.
