NOTCHED END SEAL FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

The invention relates to a notched end seal for an electrophotogrpahic image forming device. The end seal for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes an elastomeric body having a blade seal portion for sealing against a rear surface of a doctor blade and a curved rotary seal portion that extends from a bottom end of the blade seal portion for sealing against an outer surface of a rotatable developer roll. The end seal includes a cutout in an inner axial side of the body positioned at a point where the rotary seal portion and the blade seal portion meet. 本发明涉及种用于电子照相图像形成设备的有凹口的端部密封件。根据个示例性实施方案的用于电子照相的图像形成设备的端部密封件包括弹性主体，该弹性主体具有刀片密封部分和弯曲的旋转密封部分，刀片密封部分用于抵着刮墨刀片的后表面密封，弯曲的旋转密封部分从刀片密封部分的底部端部延伸，以用于抵着可旋转显影辊的外表面密封。端部密封件包括在主体的内轴向侧部中的切口，该切口定位在旋转密封部分和刀片密封部分会合的位置处。
