A reassembled laser toner cartridge and method of manufacture in which the
hopper section and roller section of a previously depleted toner
cartridge are rewelded together by ultrasonic welding along the length
sections after an ancillary energy director strip has been positioned
between the sections where the roller section interfaces with the hopper
section to provide a laser toner cartridge that has the same or nearly
the same specifications as the original equipment manufactured
cartridges.
