  • Patent number: 5115276
    Abstract: A magnetic brush development apparatus for applying pigmented marking particles to a latent image charge pattern on a dielectric member. The magnetic brush development apparatus comprises a housing defining, in a portion thereof, a sump for containing a mixture of magnetic carrier particles and pigmented marking particles. A mixer is located in the sump of the housing for mixing magnetic carrier particles and pigmented marking particles so as to effect a triboelectric attraction of the pigmented marking particles to the magnetic carrier particles. The mixed magnetic carrier particles and attracted pigmented marking particles are attracted to an intermediate member, transported by the intermediate member from the sump, and then separated by the intermediate member such that the magnetic carrier particles are returned to the sump.
