摘要:
An image forming apparatus comprises an image bearing member for bearing an image, and a movable member which is abutted against the image bearing member and onto which the image on the image bearing member is transferred. The movable member includes a substrate, a sheet-like member, and an elastic layer disposed between the substrate and the sheet-like member and compressed to a predetermined thickness before the movable member is abutted against the image bearing member.

An image forming apparatus has an image bearing member bearing images thereon and movable, and a transfer medium bearing member provided in pressure contact with the image bearing member and bearing a transfer medium thereon and rotatable. The transfer medium bearing member has a sheet member for bearing the transfer medium thereon, and an elastic layer supporting that area of the sheet member bearing the transfer medium thereon from the inside of the sheet member. A voltage is applied to the transfer medium bearing member to transfer the images on the image bearing member to the transfer medium born on the sheet member. The sheet member has an area not fixed to the elastic layer. The transfer medium bearing member is rotated with a potential difference created between the image bearing member and the sheet member before the operation of transferring the images on the image bearing member to the transfer medium born on the sheet member is started.

An image forming apparatus has a recording medium bearing member bearing a recording medium thereon and rotatable, the recording medium bearing member having in the surface thereof a recess extending in the direction of the rotary shaft thereof, image formation being effected on the recording medium born on the recording medium bearing member, and a rotatable member abutted against the recording medium bearing member, the rotatable member being provided with a abutting portion abutted against the recording medium bearing member, and a regulating portion adapted to abut against the recording medium bearing member when the recess and the rotatable member become opposed to each other. Thus, the distance between the recess and the bearing portion, is regulated the rotatable member being movable between a first position in which the abutting portion abuts against the recording medium bearing member and a second position in which the regulating portion abuts against the recording medium bearing member. The regulating portion is spaced apart from the recording medium bearing member when the abutting portion is abutted against the recording medium bearing member.

A fixating device has a first rotatable member in contact with an unfixated image borne on a recording medium, a second rotatable member forming a nip together with the second rotatable member, a first heater for heating the first rotatable member, a second heater for heating the second rotatable member, and power supply controlling means for controlling the supply of electric power to the first heater and the second heater. The power supply controlling means is adapted to control the supply of electric power so that when the electric power supplied to the first heater is Wa and the electric power supplied to the second heater is Wb and the ratio when the recording medium is nipped between and conveyed by the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member is Dp=Wa/Wb and the ratio during standby is Ds=Wa/Wb, there may be established Dp>Ds.

摘要:
There is disclosed an apparatus for obtaining image signal by tonal processing of an input signal. Pulse-width modulation of the input signal is achieved thorugh comparison with a second signal of a predetermined shaped, for example a triangular signal. In order to avoid the influence of fluctuating factors in pulse-width modulation, the apparatus also has a third signal generator, and the pulse-width modulated signal or a pattern signal generated by the third signal generator is selectively used for image formation.

An electromagnetic clutch includes a rotor, armature hub, armature, magnetic body and first permanent magnet, field core, excitation coil, and second permanent magnet. The rotor is rotatably disposed in the housing of a driven device. The armature hub is fixed to the rotating shaft of the driven device, the armature movable in an axial direction. The magnetic body is incorporated in the rotor. The first permanent magnet connects the armature to the rotor. The field core is attached to the housing and inserted in the rotor to be in noncontact with it. The excitation coil is disposed in the field core and excited, when cutting off power transmission, to cancel a magnetic force of the first permanent magnet, thus releasing the armature from the first permanent magnet. The second permanent magnet separates the armature from the rotor, when cutting off power transmission, to move the armature toward the armature hub.
