A toner for developing an electrostatic image comprises a binder resin and a dimer of a diarylguanidine type compound. The dimer is represented by the general formula (I) below: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.1 a, R.sup.2 a, R.sup.3 a, R.sup.4 a, R.sup.5 a and R.sup.6 a are respectively a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an amino group, an alkoxy group, or an aryl group which may have a substituent, and may be the same with or diffrent from each other; adjacent groups may be linked together to form a ring; and A is a linking group.

A toner for developing an electrostatic image is formed of toner particles; wherein each toner particle includes (i) 100 wt. parts of a binder resin having a glass transition point (Tg) of 50-70.degree. C., (ii) 0.2-20 wt. parts of solid wax, and (iii) colorant particles or magnetic powder carrying a liquid lubricant, so that the toner particle retains at its surface the liquid lubricant gradually released from the particles (iii). The toner may be further blended with an organically treated inorganic fine powder to provide a developer. The toner or developer retains good lubricity and releasability so that it is suitable to be used in an image forming method including means contacting a latent image-bearing means, such as a contact charging means, a contact transfer means or a contact cleaning means.

A toner for developing an electrostatic image has toner particles containing at least a binder resin and a colorant, and an inorganic fine powder. The inorganic fine powder has been treated with a silicone oil having, in its molecular weight distribution as measured by gel permeation chromatography, at least one peak value in the region of molecular weight of from 500 to 15,000 and having at least one peak value or shoulder in the region of molecular weight of from 3,000 to 100,000 at a value greater than the former peak value.

A developer for developing electrostatic images is constituted by toner containing a binder resin and a charge controller. The charge controller comprises an arylurea compound which is an arylurea having at least one electron-attracting group or electron-donating group, or a polyarylurea including such an arylurea as a recurring unit. The arylurea compound is substantially colorless and can have stable but different levels of triboelectric chargeability depending on the substituents.

A toner for developing an electrostatic image is provided as a pulverized mixture including a binder resin and a colorant. The binder resin is characterized by a molecular weight distribution on a GPC chromatogram of its tetrahydrofuran (THF)-soluble resin content including below 15% of a resin component in a molecular weight region of at most 5000 and at least 5 wt. % of a resin component in a molecular weight region of at least 5.times.10.sup.6 and showing a main peak in a molecular weight region of 5000 to 5.times.10.sup.6. The THF-soluble resin component in the molecular weight region of at least 5.times.10.sup.6 is extremely enriched during a melt-kneading step during the toner production, so as to effectively prevent toner flowout from a member for cleaning a fixing roller.

A lens driving device is provided to reduce a number of required high-accuracy components and also eliminate the unevenness of maximum displacement of a lens holder with respect to a base. An outer edge of a lower spring plate is clamped by a lower casing served as a base and a lower spacer. A first protrusion is formed on a sidewall of the lens holder and protruding outward therefrom. A second protrusion protruding toward the lens holder is formed on an inner circumference of the lower spacer and extends to a position above and separating from the first protrusion by a distance S. The first protrusion props against the second protrusion when the lens holder is moved toward an imaged-object side and reaching a displacement of the distance S.

An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers arranged side by side along the outer surface of a conveying portion of a transfer belt. The transfer belt is stretched between a first upstream roller and a second downstream roller. An image forming medium is conveyed on the belt so as to have multiple color images transferred thereto. The transfer belt has a swing lever so as to move the belt between a horizontal full color position and an inclined monochrome position. A stationary support roller which is arranged within the transfer belt and at a position nearer to the second downstream roller maintains a position of the image forming medium constant even when a monochrome image is being transferred. In addition, an electrostatic attraction roller located outside the transfer belt is arranged at a specific angle relative to the first roller to assist in the attraction of the image forming medium to the transfer belt.

A magnetic toner which is excellent in the low temperature fixability and the anti-offset properties is disclosed. The binder resin of the toner comprises a non-crosslinked styrene polymer, a non-crosslinked styrene copolymer or a mixture of these, and a polyolefin, wherein; the binder resin has, in its molecular weight distribution pattern measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), at least one maximal point (peak) in each region of a low molecular weight of from 5,000 to 20,000 and of a high molecular weight of from 200,00 to 1,000,000, where a height H1 of a maximum peak in the low molecular weight region, a height H3 of a maximum peak in the high molecular weight region and a height H2 of a minimal point between both of said peaks satisfy the relationship H1:H2:H3 of 3-25:1:1.5-12; and has a weight average molecular weight Mw and a number average molecular weight Mn in a value Mw/Mn of from 15 to 80.
