Abstract: A cleaning roller having a movable surface formed by a brush of a reduced length implanted thereon and internally housing means for producing a magnetic field is disposed in contact with the surface of an electrostatic latent image carrier in order to remove the particle of a developer therefrom. The cleaning roller is in turn disposed in contact with an auxiliary cleaning roller which is effective to remove the developer particle which is trapped by the first mentioned cleaning roller. The auxiliary cleaning roller is in turn disposed in contact with a remover which removes the developer particle from the auxiliary cleaning roller.

Abstract: A photosensitive member used for an electrophotographic copying process includes an electrically conductive layer and a photosensitive layer formed thereon. The photosensitive layer has a surface region which is subject to an imagewise exposure to form an electrostatic latent image thereon which corresponds to an effective image area on an original which is to be copied. An area of the photosensitive layer other than the surface region which corresponds to the effective image area to be copied represents a photosensitive layer portion which substantially functions as a photosensitive member during a copying process, for example, during a charging step. The photosensitive layer portion is provided with a layer of an electrically conductive material.
