Abstract: A device for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an imaging surface by applying a thin film of uniformly charged magnetic toner includes a sleeve which is driven to rotate at constant speed in an intended direction, a hopper for supplying toner to said sleeve, a pressure blade pressed against the sleeve to form the thin film of charged toner on the sleeve and a discharging scraper provided with a plurality of holes and disposed in contact with the sleeve at a location downstream of the developing region, whereby remaining toner on the sleeve is scraped off the sleeve and returned to the sleeve after passing through the holes, to thereby have the charge remaining on the sleeve removed by the discharging scraper.

Abstract: A developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image includes a tank for containing therein a quantity of developer, a developing sleeve driven to rotate in a predetermined direction and having an outer peripheral surface which defines a path for transporting the developer, a magnet roll disposed inside of the developing sleeve for keeping the developer attracted to the peripheral surface of the sleeve, and a pressure plate pressed against the sleeve to form a thin film of developer on the peripheral surface of the sleeve before being applied to the latent image.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for electroplating a steel strip by arranging a plurality of electrode rows each consisting of a plurality of electrodes disposed adjacent to each other along the direction of width of said steel strip in opposition to said strip travelling in an electrolytic cell holding an electrolytic solution, so that a metal constituting said electrodes may be electroplated on said steel strip, comprising the steps of intermittently or continuously transferring said electrodes of said electrode rows in a direction perpendicularly to the direction of travel of said steel strip at a speed so that a distribution of a deposition amount of the metal of said electrodes along the direction of width of said steel strip may be kept within an allowable tolerance, a width of said electrode rows being greater than the width of said steel strip; and unloading said electrode from one end of one of said electrode rows transferred by said transferring step and loading said electrode to the other end of said one ele

Abstract: A magnetic brush type developing device using a one-component system developing agent suitable for use with electrophotographic copying apparatus including a scraper having a magnetic wire disposed in close proximity to a developing sleeve serving as means for agitating and mixing a developing agent used for developing and a fresh supply of the developing agent fed to supplement the developing agent consumed by developing. The scraper includes a nonmagnetic plate provided with a plurality of stays in the form of a comb disposed on a side thereof facing the developing sleeve, and a magnetic wire mounted on the forward end of the stays and arranged in a magnetic field generated by a magnet disposed in the developing sleeve. The magnetic wire and the developing sleeve are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined gap.
