    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrostatic copying apparatus of type in which an electrostatic latent image is developed on the surface of a photosensitive member by applying a fine powdery developer to the electrostatic latent image to form a toner image which is transferred to a receptor sheet after which the remaining electrostatic charge on the photosensitive member is eliminated and the photosensitive member cleaned of excess developer. The cleaning step is carried out, according to the invention, by magnetically holding the same developer as used in the developing step on the surface of a developer-holding member by means of a magnet disposed within the developerholding member, moving the surface of the developer-holding member in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the surface of the photosenstive member to contact the two surfaces at reasonable relative speeds through the layer of the developer, and thus mechanically brushing the surface of the photosensitive member by the layer of the developer.

    Abstract: A transfer sheet on which toner images free of broadening of edge portions and having sharp contours can be transferred even in the electrophotography or electrostatic printing of the transfer type using conductive or semiconductive toners, i.e., magnetic toners, is disclosed. This transfer sheet is characterized in that a conductive or semiconductive toner-receiving face having a volume specific resistance of at least 3x1013 OMEGA -cm is formed on at least one surface of a substrate of the transfer sheet.

    Abstract: 1433350 Transferring latent images MITA INDUSTRIAL CO Ltd 30 July 1973 [31 July 1972] 36165/73 Heading G2H In a method of charge image transfer electrophotography employing a sensitive member having a conductive base 1, a photo-conductive layer 2 and a transparent insulating layer 3, the surface of the member is first charged primarily overall (using a direct current corona 5), the surface is then exposed to an image having light areas L and dark areas D and simultaneously or subsequently is subjected to a secondary charging (using an alternating current corona 9). The photoconductive layer is then treated (e.g. by overall light exposure) to eliminate the charge at the interface between the photo-conductive layer and the insulating layer, the resulting electrostatic image is transferred by contact to a transfer sheet which is then developed and fixed in the conventional manner. The characteristics of the alternating current used for secondary charging and/or the secondary charging time are chosen so that the electrostatic image formed on the surface of the member after dissipation of the interface charge has the same polarity as the polarity of the primary charging and so that the potential of the light areas L of said image is substantially equal to the "untransferable upper limit potential" and the potential of the dark areas D are higher than the said limit potential. The "untransferable upper limit potential" is defined as the upper limit of the potential which does not permit the electrostatic image to be transferred for a copy sheet by mere contact. A multi-colour electrophotographic apparatus employing this method comprises a sensitive surface A mounted on a drum 1 for circulation past primary charging station 4, a secondary charging and colour exposure station 28, an overall exposure station 39 and an electrostatic image transfer station M. Image-receiving material 10 is fed from a roll by a series of rollers, cut to a length corresponding to the length of the original by cutters 50, 51, and taken up by a suction drum 49 which advances it past the transfer station M, a developing zone and a fixing zone 71. To effect multi-colour reproduction the receiving sheet is circulated a plurality of times past the transfer station M, each time picking up one colour separation image of the original and being developed with the corresponding colour developer from one of a series of liquid developer troughs 57, 58, 59 and 60 which are brought selectively into a position above cams 69 and 70 by a transport device 56. Operation of the cams raises the selected trough into a developing position with a development electrode 65, 66, 67 or 68 adjacent the surface of drum 49. The images are fixed by heat from heaters 72 and the finished sheet is stripped from the drum by a device 73. The colour separation images are formed by positioning one of a series of coloured mirrors 34, 35, 36 and 37 in the path of light from an original a.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrostatic copying apparatus of the type in which an electrostatic latent image is formed on the surface of a photosensitive member. Specifically, a corona discharge device is used to charge up the photosensitive member and an image of an original document is projected to the charged surface by an optical system including a lamp for illuminating the original thereby to form the electrostatic latent image. According to the invention, for a specified period of time which runs from the time when the corona discharge device for charging has been deenergized by the completion of the electrostatic latent image-forming step light is irradiated on the surface of the photosensitive member in an area downstream of the corona discharge device for charging and upstream of the developing device along the moving path of the surface of the photosensitive member.
