  • Patent number: 4468111
    Abstract: An electrostatic copying machine apparatus includes a developing device having a fixedly positioned permanent magnet and a hollow developing sleeve formed of a non-magnetic material mounted coaxially about the permanent magnet for rotation thereabout. Toner supplied to the periphery of the sleeve forms thereon a magnetic brush which is conveyed by rotation of the sleeve to a developing position whereat the toner is transferred to a photoreceptor as a visible toner image. A bristle cutting member is positioned upstream of the developing position to restrict the length of the magnetic brush. A blade member formed of a non-magnetizable material prevents solidification of the toner on the periphery of the sleeve and is positioned upstream of the bristle cutting member. The blade member slides in contact with the periphery of the sleeve at a scraping position. The permanent magnet has spaced therearound at equal circumferential intervals a plurality of magnetizing positions having magnetic poles.

  • Patent number: 4436412
    Abstract: A cleaning device for use on a transfer type electrostatic copying apparatus includes a magnetic brush cleaning device for cleaning off a magnetizable toner remaining on a photosensitive material after a transfer operation. A brush roller is disposed between the magnetic brush cleaning device and a transfer zone. A brush is arranged on a peripheral surface of a cylindrical sleeve of light transmitting material and is driven for rotation in contact with the photosensitive material. A charge eraser lamp is secured within the cylindrical sleeve. The charge on the photosensitive material or photoreceptor is almost completely erased, and consequently, the cleaning efficiency is markedly improved owing to the facilitated removal of the developing material by the magnetic brush.
