Embodiments for a toner auger for use in an image forming device. The
image forming device includes a channel through which toner is moved. The
auger is positioned within the channel and has an axis of rotation and at
least one offset section extending radially outward from the axis of
rotation. The offset section forms a sweep envelope that extends outward
from the axis of rotation. The auger may be positioned within the channel
for the offset to contact the channel. Contact may cause a vibratory
force that prevents the toner from clogging and bridging within the
channel.
