摘要:
An electrostatic image is developed by selectively extracting colored grains of one polarity from a mixture containing colored grains having opposite polarity to each other in the presence of an alternating field followed by development of the electrostatic image by the selectively extracted colored grains.
摘要:
An electrostatic latent image developing device having a non-magnetic carrier member for carrying a developer and fixed magnets installed inside said carrier member, and a regulating member disposed over the carrier member for regulating a developer layer thickness on the surface of the carrier member at a point between two peaks of a magnetic flux produced by two closely arranged magnets having same polarity inside the carrier member. The regulating member is a doctor blade and the carrier member is a rotatable cylindrical sleeve.

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.
摘要:
A developing means for an electrostatic latent image has, within a non-magnetic developer transport member, plural magnets arranged in series in a defined area between a develops layer thickness regulating member and a developing area opposite an image forming member so as to generate a magnetic flux distribution having a pair of homopolar peaks for eliminating a density uneveness of the developer layer on said transport member.

A developing apparatus for developing an electrostatic latent image on a charge receptor comprising a developing member for supplying toner to the electrostatic latent image on the charge receptor and an image forming means arranged in developing direction downstream of said developing member, said image forming means including an electrode to which a voltage is applied so as to form an alternating electric field between said charge receptor and said electrode, and means for applying said voltage to said electrode.
摘要:
A magnetic brush developing apparatus for an electrophotographic copying machine or electrostatic recording machine has a sleeve in which a plurality of magnetic pieces are arranged in alternating polarity. Each piece has a shape which produces two or more magnetic peaks. The sleeve and the magnets are rotated in opposite directions. As a result of the the above, a soft developer body is obtained, and density unevenness or striping of the image is avoided.
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.
