摘要:
A bias voltage-applying unit applies a bias voltage to an insulating toner that includes an electric charge, by making a contact with the insulating toner. A light irradiating unit irradiates the insulating toner with a light. An electric-charge control unit controls an electric charge amount of the insulating toner by causing an optical switch phenomenon in which an electrostatic charge amount of the insulating toner changes, by irradiating the insulating toner with the light using the light irradiating unit while applying the bias voltage to the insulating toner using the bias voltage-applying unit.

A rolling bearing includes a plurality of rolling elements movably retained at almost the same interval between an inner ring and an outer ring with a cage made of synthetic resin provided interposed therebetween. The rolling bearing further includes, an oil film made of a lubricant, and a grease containing a synthetic oil as a base oil enclosed therein. The lubricant contains at least one additive selected from the group consisting of organic aliphatic acid, organic aliphatic acid derivative and organic phosphorus compound incorporated in a synthetic oil in a proportion of from 0.5 to 10% by weight formed on the surface of the raceways of the inner and outer rings and the surface of the rolling elements, and a grease containing a synthetic oil as a base oil enclosed therein.

A developing unit circulates a developer unidirectionally and includes a developer carrier having a magnetic field generator therein. The developing unit further includes a supply part housing a supply screw, a collecting part housing a collecting screw, an agitation part housing an agitation screw, a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening. The developer is transported by the supply screw, the collecting screw, and the agitation screw from the collecting screw to the agitation screw through the first opening, from the agitation screw to the supply screw through the second opening, and from the supply screw to the collecting screw though the third opening in a developer circulation. A height of a bottom surface of the downstream part of the agitation screw is higher than a height of a bottom surface of the supply screw.

To provide a ball bearing that insures reasonable endurance and which reduces the necessary torque for rotation while causing less fluctuations in torque, a synthetic resin cage of the ball bearing for retaining a plurality of balls so as to roll freely is impregnated with a lubricating oil having a viscosity of 10 to 150 mm.sup.2 /s at 40.degree. C. in an amount of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the cage, a film of the lubricating oil is formed in a thickness of 0.03 to 20 .mu.m on the surfaces of an inner race, an outer race, balls and the cage, and the amounts of the oiliness agent and the rust inhibitor that are to be contained in the lubricating oils are limited to the specified ranges.

摘要:
A developing device includes a developer bearer to carry, by rotation, developer including toner and magnetic carrier to a development range facing a latent image bearer to bear a latent image. The developer bearer includes a magnetic field generator having multiple magnetic poles and a cylindrical developing sleeve to rotate and bear developer on an outer circumferential surface thereof with magnetic force of the magnetic field generator disposed inside the developing sleeve. The developing sleeve receives development voltage including an AC component having a frequency of 2.0 kHz or lower, and a duty ratio of a component having a polarity opposite a toner normal charge polarity of the AC component is within a range from 4% to 20%.

摘要:
A development apparatus can uniform a toner density by controlling the phase of a toner density fluctuation, and can inhibit fluctuation of the toner density and variation of the toner charge amount. The development apparatus is configured to have a phase control mechanism, which forms a dividing point at a predetermined point (e.g., an opening section provided on a partition plate between two screws) in a flow of a developer within the development apparatus in which a toner density fluctuates spatially due to toner replenishment or toner consumption caused by development, causes the developer divided at the dividing point to pass through different paths (path 1, path 2), thereby shifts a phase of the fluctuation of the toner density within the developer, and thereafter causes thus obtained developers having shifted phases to merge with each other, to perform phase control. The developers spatially having toner density fluctuations are superimposed with shifted phases, thereby a high toner density and a low toner density are averaged so that the toner density is uniformed.
