A dry process developing apparatus for use in an electrophotographic copying machine which includes a developing non-magnetizable sleeve and a multipolar magnet member arranged to be rotated in the same direction at different speeds, the speed of rotation of the developing sleeve causing movement of those particles of the developing material which at the most are only slightly affected by the multipolar magnet member in the direction of rotation of the sleeve, and the speed of rotation of the multipolar magnet causing the movement of particles of developing material affected by the magnet around the sleeve in a direction of rotation opposite that of the magnet and at a speed greater than the speed of the developing sleeve. Scraping members are provided for sliding contact with the peripheral surface of the developing sleeve in the directions against and following the direction of rotation of the developing sleeve.

A magnetic brush developing apparatus for use in an electrophotographic copying machine for developing an electrostatic image and utilizing a developer which is constituted by non-magnetic particles and magnetic particles. The apparatus includes a rotatable multipole magnetic member within a rotatable developing sleeve for transporting developing material affected by the magnetic member in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the sleeve, at least one cleaning member for removing part of the developer which is at most only slightly affected by the magnetic member and transported in the direction of rotation of the sleeve, and at least one resilient scraping member for scraping the affected developer from the surface of the sleeve and being sufficiently resilient to allow the slightly affected developer material to pass between the scraping member and the sleeve so as to avoid buildup of the slightly affected developer between the scraping member and the sleeve.

摘要:
An improved magnetic brush developing method for use in electrography which employs a dual-component developing material including electrically insulative magnetizable particles and electrically insulative non-magnetizable particles. In the developing method, magnetic attractive force exerted on the magnetizable particles located at the developing position where a magnetic brush of the developing material formed on a developing material support member is in rubbing contact with electrostatic latent images on a recording medium, is made larger than the electric repelling force acting on the magnetizable particles for preventing the magnetizable particles from adhering to the recording medium.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus which develops two latent images formed on a photoreceptor with developing agents respectively containing first and second toners of different colors, and is so constructed that, a clear image is obtained by processing mixed-color separation to restrain the mixed-color as much as possible, in response to respective consumptions of a first toner and a second toner, or every time a fixed amount of first toner is consumed, and further, in response to the amount of first toner mixed into a second developing agent detected when a fixed amount of first toner is consumed.
摘要:
A magnetic brush developing apparatus includes a material transport guide member extending from a developing material supply position to a developing region, in addition to a rotatable developing sleeve having an inwardly disposed rotatable manetic roller driven for rotation in the same direction as the sleeve. A clearance is maintained between the guide member and the outer peripheral surface of the developing sleeve to allow transport by the rotation of the magnetic roller of developing material, having magnetic carrier particles and electrically insulative toner particles, from the developing material supply position along the outer surface of the guide member to the developing region in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the magnetic roller and developing sleeve. Part of the used developing material is moved in a direction opposite to the direction of transportation of the supplied developing material through the clearance between the developing sleeve and the guide member by the rotation of the developing sleeve, so that undesirable exchanging between the fresh developing material and the used developing material is substantially prevented by the guide member.
摘要:
A multi-color image forming apparatus which comprises a rotatably supported photoreceptor drum movable sequentially past a first charging station at which the photoreceptor drum is electrostatically charged; a first exposure station at which a first electrostatic latent image is formed on the photoreceptor drum; a first developing station at which a first developing unit is disposed for developing the first electrostatic latent image into a toner image with a first toner material; a second charging station at which the photoreceptor drum is again electrostatically charged; a second exposure station at which a second electrostatic latent image is formed on the photoreceptor drum; a second developing station at which a second developing unit is disposed for developing the second electrostatic latent image into a toner image with a second toner material; a transfer station at which the toner image is transferred onto a recording medium; and a cleaning station. To avoid a color mixing as a result of an mixture of the first toner material into the second developing unit, the first toner material mixing into the second developing unit is separated and recovered from the second developing unit. A manually operated switch and a control system are provided for manually controlling the separation and recovery of the first toner material from the second toner material.
