摘要:
An electrophotographic apparatus capable of forming a high quality image by a contact type developing system using a photoconductive belt and a developing roller. The belt has a tubular configuration. A single friction roller is made of rubber and received in the tubular belt to drive it in a rotary motion. The friction roller has an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the belt to provide the belt with a slack. The developing roller contacts the slack of the belt and, therefore, contacts the belt over a sufficient nip width.

A xerographic image recording apparatus includes a photosensitive body moved along a circuitous path, an electric discharging unit for eliminating electric charges from the photosensitive body, a precharging unit for charging the photosensitive body electrically, an image writing unit for writing an image on the photosensitive body, an image developing unit for coating the photosensitive body by the toner to form a toner image on the photosensitive body; a recording sheet feeding unit for feeding a recording sheet along a sheet path, an image transfer unit for transferring the toner image onto a recording sheet, a cleaning unit for removing the toner remaining on the photosensitive body after the transfer of image on the recording sheet is completed, a toner supply tank for supplying the toner to the image developing unit, and a toner recovery tank for collecting the toner removed by the cleaning unit from the photosensitive body, wherein the toner supply tank and the toner recovery tank are assembled into a unitary body to form a detachable magazine.
摘要:
A recording apparatus which includes a photosensitive member and an image forming unit for forming a latent image on the photosensitive member. A developing unit develops this latent image by supplying toner to the photosensitive member so that a visible image corresponding to the latent image is formed on the photosensitive member. A transfer unit transfers the visible image from the photosensitive member to a recording sheet. A magazine unit having a first chamber for storing toner and a second chamber for storing scrap toner obtained by scraping residual toner from the photosensitive member is also provided. The magazine unit is detachably mounted to a housing of the recording apparatus. A supply mechanism supplies toner from the first chamber of the magazine unit to the developing unit. A detector detects whether an amount of toner in the developing unit is equal to or less than a predetermined amount and a controller activates the supply mechanism when the detector detects that the amount of toner is equal to or less than the predetermined amount. The supply mechanism features a gutter with a groove for accommodating developer and a rotation mechanism for rotating the gutter at an appropriate timing to deposit the developer in the gutter into the developing unit. A shutter which is opened when the magazine unit is mounted in the housing of the recording apparatus and which is closed when the magazine unit is removed from the housing may also be provided.

An image forming apparatus, which forms a predetermined image on each recording paper of a plurality of recording papers and ejects each recording paper therefrom through a feed path, includes a body and a first lid. The first lid is pivotably provided on the body so as to pivot from a closing position to an opening position, and the feed path is mostly exposed when the first lid is located at the opening position. The body includes photosensitive member, a latent image forming device, and a developing device, whereas the first lid includes merely a transfer device so that the first lid is light enough to be opened easily. In addition, a jammed paper can be removed easily from the feed path because the feed path is mostly exposed when the first lid is located at the opening position.

摘要:
A catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxides from an exhaust gas containing the same in an oxygen rich atmosphere comprising (i) a zeolite having a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 /Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 of at least 10, (ii) copper, and (iii) a rare earth ion, an alkaline earth metal and/or a valence variable metal.
摘要:
A catalyst for synthesizing hydrocarbons such as butane etc. by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide, which comprises cobalt and cerium oxide as catalytic components supported on a conventional porous material, or cobalt as a catalytic component and cerium oxide as a support thereof. This catalyst can produce C.sub.1 or more hydrocarbons and especially C.sub.5 or more hydrocarbons in good yields.
摘要:
A device for developing an electrostatic latent image carried on an image bearing member comprises a developing sleeve for transporting a magnetic developer as carried thereon through a developing station where the developer is applied to the image bearing member to develop the latent image thereon, a doctor blade for forming a developer film of predetermined thickness and charge, a plurality of magnets disposed inside of the developing sleeve to have the magnetic developer attracted to the developing sleeve, and a scraper for removing the developer remaining on the sleeve after development. In the preferred embodiment, the scraper is pivotally supported and at least comprised of a magnetic material thereby allowing it to be pressed against the sleeve due to magnetic attraction from the magnets inside of the sleeve. In addition, the scraper is provided with a surface-hardened portion at least at that section which comes into contact with the developer on the sleeve when the scraper is pressed against the sleeve.
