Abstract:
1. A device for holding a photoreceptor sheet onto a drum of an electro-photography printing device comprising: first and second clamping elements comprising first and second holding surfaces, respectively, to hold an edge of the photoreceptor sheet from opposite directions by pressing against the sheet in a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the surface of the sheet, in which at least the second clamping element is pre-loaded with a first spring biasing the second holding surface toward the first holding surface; and in which the first and second holding surfaces are engaged with the photoreceptor sheet via a rotatable shaft mechanically coupled to the first clamping mechanism, the rotatable shaft, when rotated, moving the first clamping mechanism relative to the second clamping mechanism, in which the shaft comprises a cross sectional shape comprising a circular portion and a flat portion.
