Abstract
A cleaning apparatus for removing residual developer material remaining on a surface of a printing machine is provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a movable cleaning brush having bristles. The brush is positioned adjacent to the surface so that as the movable brush is moved, the bristles contact the surface and the residual developer material is removed therefrom. A detoning device is positioned adjacent to the movable cleaning brush in a manner that permits the bristles to contact the detoning device as the movable cleaning brush is moved. The detoning device includes a plurality of hook-like and/or teeth-like members which dislodge the residual developer material from the bristles as they contact the hook-like members.
