produce a volume resistivity in the range of 10 -10 ohm-cms3 6
(Spec. at 7, lines 20-29).
B. The claims
Claims 1 and 7 read as follows:
1. A bottle for collecting untransferred
developer material and debris cleaned from a
dielectric member of a reproduction apparatus,
said collection bottle comprising:
a container having an opening adapted to
receive untransferred developer material and
debris therethrough for storage within said
container, said container being made of a
conductive material, said conductive material
being a carbon-doped plastic having a volume
resistivity of less than 10 ohm cms with said8
carbon dopent [sic] being approximately 15-20%
by weight; and
an electrical tap including a tab
integrally formed with said container and
connected to electrical ground, whereby static
charge build-up is substantially prevented.
7. The bottle of Claim 1 further including
an electrically conductive, extensible cable
connected at one end to said tab and at the
other end to said electrical ground.
