Abstract:
In an armature of a hinge type relay having a movable contact elastically at one side, a rocking cardinal piece which is bendingly formed to the lower direction is provided at another side of the armature. A fulcrum piece which rockingly supports the rocking cardinal piece is provided at the lower portion of the upper bent portion of the yoke which supports the armature. The armature rocks due to the energization of the electromagnet, premitting the rocking cardinal piece to be a base point and the movable contact and the fixed contact separate or contact each other causing a relative wiping action. Foreign matter such as oxides, dusts and the like which generate at the contact points, and which cause a bad contact, are thereby removed, keeping the contacts continually clean.

Abstract:
A single-component developing apparatus comprising a developer holding member having a peripheral surface, a power supply section applying an AC developing bias voltage to the developer holding member, the AC developing bias voltage having a waveform with predetermined minimum value, maximum value and period, an electrostatic latent image receiving member opposing the developer holding member across a gap having predetermined width, a developer supplying section supplying a developer to the developer holding member, and a developer regulating member forming developer into a thin layer on the peripheral surface of the developer holding member by pressing on the developer holding member.In this arrangement the developer holding member transports the thin layer of developer towards the electrostatic latent image receiving member, and the transported thin layer of developer flies from the developer holding member across the gap to the electrostatic latent image receiving member in accordance with the AC developing bias voltage. The waveform of the AC developing bias voltage satisfies the inequality:t.sub.A /T.ltoreq.0.4wherein t.sub.A is rise time from minimum value to maximum value, and T is the period.
Abstract:
This hinge type relay is provided with an elastically movable contact point at one side of an armature, while at another side is provided with a non-magnetic supporting piece formed bendingly downward, and further a fulcrum which supports the above non-magnetic supporting piece rockably at the lower portion of the upper bending portion of the yoke which supports the above armature is provided. By this, when the fixed contact point and the movable contact point of the hinge type relay contact with or separate from each other, the both contact point wipe and the generated magnetic flux of the electro magnet acts to the armature effectively.
