摘要:
A method for developing electrostatic latent images comprises a first step of supplying uniformly a developer containing developing particles onto an electrostatic latent image carrying surface and a second step of supplying liquid onto the latent image carrying surface to remove any excess developer from the surface while leaving on the surface only such developing particles that are able to be retained as a result of the relative attraction between the developing particles and the electrostatic latent image so as to visualize the latent image. Apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a developing particle applying means and a liquid supplying means. The developing particle applying means is disposed to effect a uniform adhesion of developing particles onto an electrostatic latent image carrying surface. The liquid supplying means supplies a liquid onto the surface in such a manner that on the surface there remains only such developing particles that are able to be retained as a result of the relative attraction between the particles and the electrostatic latent image and all excess developing particles are removed from the surface.

An elastic rotatable member usable for image fixing includes an elastic layer having a roughened surface, a resin layer formed by applying a liquid resin on the surface of the elastic layer and heating it up to a temperature not lower than its crystalline melting point and then quickly cooling it, wherein the resin layer has a side near the elastic layer, having a number of fine concave and convex portions, and wherein the convex portions are in concave portions of the surface of the elastic layer, and the concave portions of the resin layer is pressed by the convex portions of the elastic layer.
摘要:
An apparatus for developing electrostatic latent images includes an applicator for applying a developer, containing a high concentration of developer particles, uniformly over both the image and non-image areas of a latent image bearing surface, and a developing device including a liquid reservoir and an elastic roller including a core shaft, a porous elastic inner layer on the core shaft, and a flexible and permeable sleeve-like net covering the inner layer. Liquid from the reservoir is applied by the roller to the image bearing surface to remove developer particles not attracted thereto by coulomb force to thereby form the developed image. Marginal effect in the developed image is eliminated by making at least one of the inner layer or net electrically conductive.
摘要:
An elastic rotatable member conveniently usable as an image fixing member has a base member, a first primer layer, an elastic layer, a second primer layer and a resin layer in the order named. The first primer layer has a thermal conductivity higher than that of the second primer layer. Using the elastic rotatable member, its sheet conveying properties, releasability, wear resistance and durability are improved. When used for an image fixing rotatable member, its image fixing properties are improved.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of devices for forming an image on a rotatable medium and transferring the image onto transfer material. A detector is provided to detect the electrical condition of one of the devices during an initial turn of the rotatable medium prior to image processing. Electrical circuitry then controls the electrical condition of the one device to approach a predetermined value which value is then held for controlling the device during image formation.

An image processing apparatus comprising a pixel data output for releasing pixel data, synthesis means for synthesizing a plurality of pixel data released from the pixel data output, a pattern signal generator for generating a pattern signal of a predetermined period, and means for forming a pulse-width modulated signal by utilizing the synthesized pixel data released from the synthesis means and the pattern signal.
摘要:
An elastic rotatable member, includes an elastic rubber layer, a surface layer of resin formed on the elastic layer, wherein the surface layer is provided by applying resin material together with liquid to a surface of the elastic rubber layer and sintering the resin material by heating the resin material up to a sintering temperature thereof while keeping the elastic rubber layer below its durable temperature, wherein the heating is effected by dielectric heating to heat the resin material up to a higher temperature than that of the rubber layer.
摘要:
A fixing device for use in an image formation apparatus such as an electrophotographic copying apparatus or recording apparatus, and more particularly a fixing device in which a sheet such as paper having a toner image on the surface thereof is passed between a pair of rotatable members pressed against each other to thereby fix the toner image on the sheet. In the substance forming the surface of at least one of the pair of rotatable members, particles having a hardness higher than that of said substance are dispersed to enhance the fixativeness.
