  • Patent number: 4430411
    Abstract: A developing device in which a one-component magnetic developer is brought into contact with an electrostatic image carrier in a developing station while it is conveyed in a predetermined direction, to thereby develop a desired electrostatic image is provided with developer carrier means carrying the one-component magnetic developer on the peripheral surface thereof and bringing the developer into contact with the electrostatic image carrier, means for moving a magnetic field along the peripheral surface of the developer carrier means to thereby move the one-component magnetic developer in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the magnetic field, and means for moving the developer carrier means in the direction of movement of the magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 4148968
    Abstract: An electrophotographic method comprises developing an electric latent image formed on a photosensitive member comprising a photoconductive material and containing a first color forming agent in a surface for forming a visible image with a charged toner particle containing a second color forming agent, and heating to cause a thermal color forming reaction therebetween resulting in formation of a colored fixed image on the photosensitive member and a receiving sheet comprising a color forming agent (B) and a material having a melting point from 40.degree. to 130.degree. C.
