Patent ID: 7583918

Claim:
An electrographic printing or copying device, comprising: a first carrier element on whose surface toner particles are accumulated in a region of an accumulation point and from whose surface at least a portion of the toner particles in a region of a transfer point are transferred onto a further carrier element; a cleaning device arranged in a region between the transfer point and the accumulation point and at a distance from the first carrier element in order to remove the toner particles still remaining on the first carrier element after transfer of the toner particles onto the further carrier element; one part of the cleaning device is arranged near the first carrier element and the other part of the cleaning device is spatially designed such that it leads away from the first carrier element such that the removed toner particles are transported away from the first carrier element by the cleaning device; a field between the cleaning device and the first carrier element which attracts the toner particles to be removed from said first carrier element; and the cleaning device comprising a field-generating unit via which said field is generated as a traveling field via which the attracted toner particles are transported away along a progression direction of the traveling field.
