摘要:
An image-forming machine comprising a main body (2) and a process unit (8) adapted to be detachably mounted on the main body. The process unit (8) includes a first unit (102) comprising a developing device (18) and a charging corona discharger (20) and a second unit (104) comprising a rotating drum (12) and a cleaning device (22). The main body is further provided with a supporting-guiding means (252) for free movement between an elevated position and a lowered position. A guide portion (256) is defined in the supporting-guiding means (252), such that when the supporting-guiding means (252) is held in the elevated position, the guide portion (256) extends toward an open space between a lower housing and an upper housing of the machine, such that the process unit can be detached from the main body of the machine along the guide portion.

An image-forming machine comprising a main body (2) and a process unit (8) adapted to be detachably mounted on the main body (2). The process unit (8) includes a first unit comprising a developing device (18) and a charging corona discharger (16) and a second unit comprising a rotating drum (12) and a cleaning device (22). The developing device (18) comprises a magnetic brush mechanism comprised of a hollow cylindrical sleeve and a permanent magnet disposed within the sleeve and a blade adapted to be brought into press contact with the surface of the sleeve and to decrease sufficiently the thickness of the developer layer on the sleeve surface. The cleaning device (22) includes an elastic blade adapted to be brought into press contact with a photosensitive member disposed on the surface of the rotating drum (12). The toner removed from the surface of the photosensitive member by the action of the elastic blade is recovered into an interior space of the rotating drum (12).

An image-forming machine including a process unit (6) to be mounted detachably. The process unit (6) has a rotating drum (16) having an electrostatographic material disposed on it peripheral surface, a corona discharger (22) for uniformly charging the electrostatographic material, a developing device (10) and a cleaning device (18). The corona discharger (22) has a grid electrode (204) formed of a piece of a conductive thin metallic plate. The developing device (10) include a development housing (50) for holding a developer (60), a developer applicator means (72) for applying the developer (60) in the development housing (50) to the electrostatographic material, and an agitating means (74; 128; 138) for stirring the developer (60) in the development housing (50). The agitating member (88; 130; 150) employs means for preventing damage of the agitating member even when an excessively large resistance is exerted by the developer (60). The developer applicator means (72) has a sleeve member (76) holding a developer (60) on its surface and a developer regulating blade (84) which can adjust the layer of the developer (60) held on the surface of the sleeve member (76) to an uniform thickness all the way in the width direction. The cleaning device (18) includes a toner removing means (30) for removing a residual toner from the electrostatographic material, a toner collecting chamber (34) and as toner conveying passage (36) extending from a toner recovery housing (32) to the toner collecting chamber (34). The toner removing means (30) is constructed of a cleaning blade which when the process unit (6) is mounted at a predetermined position in the image-forming machine, is moved from a non-operative position at which it is away from the electrostatographic material to an operative position at which it is brought elastically into contact with the electrostatographic material. A toner conveying means (44) comprised of a coil is disposed in the toner conveying passage (36).

摘要:
An electrostatic copying process and apparatus capable of forming copies in at least two different ratios. The formation of a copied image involves exposure scanning of the image of an original document and projecting it on a photosensitive member (10) through an optical device (66). The change of the ratio of copying is achieved by changing the ratio of projection of the image of the document onto the photosensitive member by the optical device, and also changing the speed of scanning.
摘要:
A reat resistant bush is arranged between a heating roller and a bearing for supporting said heating roller, said heat resistant bush (31) and a gear (27) or sprocket fixedly mounted on said heating roller for revolving said heating roller being formed integrally from resin materials having a lower coefficient of thermal conductivity, an excellent heat resistance and the mechanical strength required for gears. Remarkably smaller noises are generated, a heating roller being able to be effectively heated, and an assembling operation also being easily achieved.

An image-forming machine is provided comprising a cleaning device for removing residual toner from an electrostatographic material. The cleaning device includes a toner collecting chamber 34, a toner conveying passage 36, a toner transferring means 38 for transferring toner received to one end of a toner recovery housing 32 and a toner conveying means 44 for conveying toner from the toner recovery housing to a toner collecting chamber 34 through the toner conveying passage 36. The toner transferring means comprise a rotating shaft 40 extending in the toner recovery housing 32 and adapted to be rotated in a predetermined direction. The toner conveying means 44 are formed as a coil extending in the toner conveying passage 36, where the winding direction of the coil 44 is such that when an end portion of the coil is rotated in said predetermined direction incident to the rotation of the rotating shaft, the coil is tensioned.

An image-forming machine including a main body (2) of the machine having a lower housing (4) and an upper housing (6) mounted on the lower housing (4) pivotably between an open position and a closed position, and a process unit (8) detachably mounted on the lower housing (4) on the main body (2). The lower housing (4) has a supporting-guiding means (416) mounted pivotably between an elevated position and a lowered position, a holding means (426) pivotably mounted between a holding position at which the supporting-guiding means (416) is held at the elevated position and a release position at which the supporting-guiding means (416) is permitted to move to the lowered position, and a biasing position for elastically biasing the holding means (426) at the holding position. The process unit (8) is comprised of a first unit (102) and a second unit (104). The supporting-guiding means (416) positioned at the elevated position can be mounted on and detached from the first unit (102). The second unit (104) is separably combined with the first unit (102). The first unit (102) includes a developing device (18), and the second unit (104) includes a rotating drum (12) having a photosensitive member disposed on the surface.
