Abstract
A cleaning blade holder apparatus that has at least one end clamping mechanism on one side of the cleaning blade holder body. The end clamping mechanism is connected to the blade holder body by an adjustable spacer (e.g. springs) and set screws. The adjustable spacer spring loads the end clamp against the holder body so that when the screws are withdrawn the coupled blade holder body and end clamp expand to stretch the blade laterally. This places the blade in tension and creates uniform contact between the imaging surface and the cleaning blade.
