摘要:
A method of cleaning off a residual toner from the surface of an image forming member in an electrophotography apparatus comprises applying an alternating electric field between the surface of the image forming member and a cleaning member, for causing the residual toner to move from the surface of the image forming member to the cleaning member and to adhere on the cleaning member.
摘要:
A color image forming apparatus for forming a color image. An image retainer is provided for carrying the color image, and a charger charges a surface of the image retainer. A latent image former forms a latent image on the charged surface of the image retainer, and a multicolor developer develops the latent image. A black developer develops the latent image. A transfer sheet conveyer conveys a transfer sheet and transfers the developed latent image onto the transfer sheet. A cleaner cleans a residual developer on the surface of the image retainer. The image retainer, either one of the black developer or the multicolor developer, and the cleaner are formed as a detachable processing cartridge, and the rest of the black developer or the multicolor developer is detachable to the body of the color image forming apparatus.

A color image reader for discriminating a color component of a light image, comprising a first photoelectric transfer device for transferring visible range light to an electric signal, a second photoelectric transfer device for transferring infrared range light to another electric signal, and a discriminator for discriminating between a chromatic portion of the light image and an achromatic portion of the light image according to the two different electric signals.
摘要:
A corona discharge method wherein corona ion flow having direct current component with a polarity opposite to an electrification polarity of toner on a transfer material is applied on the transfer material such that a density of the ion flow on incoming half area of corona discharge area is more sparsely than that of the ion flow on outgoing half area, in order to transfer the toner from an image receptor onto the transfer material.

A two-cycle electrophotographic copying apparatus includes a rotatable charge retaining member, a charging device, an exposure mechanism, a developing device and a transferring device sequentially arranged around the charge retaining member in the direction of its rotation. During a first rotation of the charge retaining member, a toner image of an original is formed, and during the second rotation of the charge retaining member, the remaining toner is cleaned from the charge retaining member to prepare it for its next succeeding copying operation. The developing device comprises a first sleeve-like member for developing an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the charge retaining member during the first revolution thereof, and a second sleeve-like member for cleaning remaining toner from the surface of the charge retaining member during the second rotation of the charge retaining member and for suppying the removed developer to the first sleeve-like member during the first rotation of the charge retaining member. The second sleeve-like member is movable between first and second positions which correspond respectively to the first and second rotations of the charge retaining member.
摘要:
A color image forming apparatus for forming a plurality of toner images on a rotating image retainer, wherein the image retainer, a group of developing devices disposed below the image retainer and a cleaning device disposed above the image retainer are integrated to constitute a process unit, toner recovered by the cleaning device is stored in the process unit, and the image retainer can be removed from the process unit.
摘要:
A developing method for an electrostatic latent image comprises the steps of applying and retaining a layer of developer on a supporting sleeve, conveying the developer on the supporting sleeve to a development area, and regulating the quantity of the developer on the supporting sleeve by a developer regulating device before the developer is conveyed to the development area. The regulating step includes impressing a bias voltage so as to establish a field between the supporting sleeve and the regulating device in order to selectively retain developer on the supporting sleeve which has a desired polarity and quantity of charge for development. The developer regulating device may be a sleeve rotated in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the supporting sleeve, and has a bias voltage impressed thereon.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus having a cleaning device arranged on the outer periphery of an image retainer, and bringing into and out of abutment against the image retainer, wherein the cleaning device comprises a first cleaning member and a second cleaning member arranged downstream of the first cleaning member in the moving direction of the surface of the image retainer. A cleaning operation of the second cleaning member against the image retainer is conducted according to a time at which the cleaning operation of the first cleaning member against the image retainer is conducted.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for developing an electrostatic latent image wherein an oscillating electric field is formed between a developing member and an electrostatic latent image receptor in synchronism with the rotation of the developing member. A voltage having a waveform obtained by periodically superposing a pulse-like voltage is applied on the developing member.
