  • JNVENTORS GERHARD MARX DETLEF- WINKELMANN AT TOR United States Patent 3,276,424 PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE DEVELOP- MENT OF LATENT ELECTROSTATIC IMAGES Gerhard Marx, Mainz-Kastel, and Detlef Winkelmann, Wiesbaden, Germany, assignors, by mesne assignments, to Azoplate Corporation, Murray Hill, NJ.
  • the invention relates to .a process and apparatus for the development of latent electrostatic images by wetting a supported image-bearing photoelectrically conductive insulator layer with a liquid developer, accompanied, if desired, by the application of an electric potential between the developer liquid and the uncoated side of the support.
  • Liquid developers are in the form of a liquid having a composition such that it does not wet the uncharged areas of the material to be developed, but only those parts which are electrostatcally charged.
  • the intent in this process is to apply the developer liquid to the pho-toelectrically conductive insulator layer in such a way that rapid wetting and development of the image parts is effected without the application of too great an excess, which could adhere for purely mechanical reasons in a troublesome manner in the non-image parts.
  • the invention also includes an apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention.
  • the apparatus includes a liquid-supplying roll joined to a liquid-feeding system, one or more guide rails arranged at a slight distance from this roll, optionally in combination with at least one roll which determines the chord direction of approach of the electrophotographic material to the liquid-supplying roll, a first linear support arranged parallel to the roll axis and near the surface of the liquid-supplying roll in the direction of the chord, at least one further linear support arranged parallel to the roll axis and also arranged near the surface of the liquid-supplying roll in a manner such that it is in the direct-ion of advance of the material in the space between the surface of the liquid-supplying roll and the tangent made on the point of intersection of the roll surface and the chord or on this tangent and optionally an arrangement assisting discharge, e.g., discharge rolls or further guide rails and a voltage source the ends of which are connected with the liquid-supplying roll and with at least one of the linear supports.

  • the direction 16 is that of a chord of the roll 1 and this chord must be in the direction of running within the hatched semicircle of the roll 1 which is formed by a straight line passing through the meeting point of the electrophotographic material with the surface of the roll and the center of the roll.
  • This direction is determined by the pair of feed rolls 5 and by the supporting surface 6 of the member described below which bears one or more linear boundary pieces, in combination with the surface 14 of the Wetting roll 13 mentioned below.
  • a further guide member 7 can be mounted in front of the feed rolls as a further support.
  • the circumferential speed of the roll 1 is advantageously so selected that it is as fast as the feed speed of the sheet, as then neither the leading edge nor the trailing edge of the sheet becomes flooded with developer liquid.
  • the electr-ophotographic material is defiected so that its direction is approximately that of a tangent 16a to the roll 1 and, in this way, it contacts a film of liquid on the roll 1.
  • the angle of deflection 5 between chord and tangent may vary within wide limits. Good results are obtained if this angle is between a fraction of a degree and about 45, preferably not more than 20. A certain pressure of the sheet against the roll results from the deflection, so that, even if the sheet has a tendency to curl, every element of the surface of the sheet comes into contact with film of liquid on the roll.
  • the further transport of the electrophotographic material in the direction of the previous tangent 16a is effected, as shown in FIGURE 1b, by the linear support b which lies on this tangent and extends over the entire length of the roll, being parallel to the axis of the roll and forming a component of member 8a.
  • the linear support By this linear support, it is ensured that the electrophotographic material is not forced out of the direction of the tangent by the forces brought into play by the movement of the roll '1 or of the material itself.
  • the guiding of the electrophotographic material being developed can also be effected by further linear supports, e.g., a member 811 with a third support 100 is shown in FIGURE 1c.
  • the electrophotographic material may, however, as shown in detail in FIGURE 1a and also in la, undergo a further deflection in the direction of one or more tangents, this deflection being introduced by means of at least one slope deflecting surface 10a.
  • This support 10 projects into the space that is bounded by the surface of the roll and the tangent on the first contact point of the electrophotographic material with the roll 1, in the direction of travel of the material, i.e., during the development process the electrophotographic material contacts, in turn, the support 6 and the linear supports 6a and 10, after which the developed material, assisted, if desired, by a discharge slope can be removed from the apparatus.
  • the sheet is not transported in the last portion of the process, after it has left the feed rolls. It is, therefore, advantageous for the member 8 and, where appropriate 8a and 8b also, to be set fairly high, so that the sheet may drop freely in the last part of the process down the discharge slope 15 or a conveyor belt, not shown, may be utilized which will discharge the sheet.
  • deflection produced by the surface of the roll and any further tangent or tangents should however, be kept small; it can vary from fractions of a degree to a few degrees.
  • Advantageous development results can however be achieved if-with respect to the direction of the first deflection tangent-there is no further deflection.
  • the linear supports 6a and 10, or where appropriate 6b and 10b, or 6c, 6e and 100 may be formed as in FIG- ures la, 1b and 10, by members 8 and 8a or 8b with two or three sharp edges which form the linear supports.
  • the notch between the edges. e.g., 11, as a result of which these project as ridges, is necessary for the described initiation of the further deflection as in FIGURE 1a and is also intended to prevent any small quantities of liquid brass is particularly suitable.
  • the parts 8 to 8b may have any other form provided only that they meet the given requirements.
  • the pair of feed rolls 5 and the member 8 when, for example, liquid reversal development of latent negatives on zinc oxide layers is desired, are connected with the positive pole of a current source of about 400 volts while the negative pole is connected to the roll and, hence, to the liquid.
  • the voltage may however be raised to about 800 volts. Electrical contact between the two supporting lines 6a and 10 is normally adequate.
  • a damping device 12 with a damping roll 13 is provided on the surface 6 of the member 8.
  • the damping roll may consist, for example, of sponge rubber or some other material that absorbs liquid.
  • the supporting side of the electrophotographic material is drawn over the surface 14 before it comes into contact with the developer.
  • the angle between the horizontal and the tangent or tangents, in the direction in which the paper contacts the roll is advantageous for the angle between the horizontal and the tangent or tangents, in the direction in which the paper contacts the roll, to be or more.
  • the supporting points 10 or 10b or 100, which are on or within a tangent to the roll 1, are advantageously so arranged that in each case they are at the same distance, or, in the case of 10c double the distance from the contact point of the electrophotographic material with the roll 1.
  • the distance from one to the other of the supporting points may be between about 10 and 20 mm., when the diameter of the roll is about -80 mm. In general, distances of between 10 and 40 percent of the diameter of the roll 1 are preferable. Larger or smaller distances, however, still give successful results.
  • the vertical gap between the roll and the linear support should be about l-2 mm. in the apparatus as described above.
  • the upper supporting point should be set as near as possible to the point of intersection of the chord at which the sheet meets the roll and the tangent at which it passes the roll. The sheet then has a fairly small radius of curvature and lies better at the upper edge. This results in better contact, as described below.
  • the diameter of the roll should advantageously be between 30 and mm., preferably between 40 and 60 mm.
  • FIG- URE 2 Another embodiment of the apparatus is shown in FIG- URE 2.
  • member 8 of the apparatus of FIGURE 1 is replaced by a trough-type member 18 ending in a linear support and a supporting roll 17.
  • the electrophotographic material being developed is passed through the feed support int-o the apparatus where it is taken up by the feed roll 20, passed through the guide plate 19 and brought, in the direction of a chord to the roll 1, to the surface of the roll 1 and deflected.
  • the latent image being developed now comes into contact with the film of liquid on the surface of the roll, while the back of the electrophotographic material runs over the two support lines 18a and 17a and is passed to the discharge chute 22.
  • points 18a and 17a in FIGURE 2 correspond to points 6b and 10b in FIGURE lb. If the deflection in FIGURE 2 occurs in the direction of more than one tangent, the position of the points 18a and 17a in relation to the roll 1 corresponds to the position of the points 10 and 6a in FIG- URE 1, the deflecting surface 10a then being formed by the section 17b of the roll 17 in FIGURE 2.
  • the supporting roll 17 serves at the same time as a conveyor roll so that a very good feed of the electrophotographic material is ensured.
  • the back of the material may be additionally moistened as the feed roll 20 dips into a trough of liquid 21.
  • the support roll 17 has a diameter such that the linear supports 18a and 17a have about the same distances from each other and from the roll surface as those described above in the case of the corresponding points 6a and 10 and 6b and 10b, respectively, in FIGURES 1a and 1b.
  • Roll 17 as well as rolls 20 and 1 is motor driven.
  • FIGURE 3 shows a further form of the invention.
  • Roll 1 the application rolls 2, as well as the ink trough 3, are generally the same as above.
  • the electrophotographic material is introduced over the support 23, advanced by the motor-driven support roll 25 and carried under the guide plate 24 to the surface of the roll 1 where it is deflected and further transported over the two linear supports 25a and 26a, which are part of the supporting rolls 25 and 26.
  • the latent electrostatic image is contacted with the liquid developer on the surface of the roll 1.
  • the rolls 25 and 26 are preferably motor driven so that a trouble-free passage is ensured for the electrophotographic material.
  • linear supports 25a and 26a have a similar distance from each other, and from the surface of the liquid-bearing roll, as do the corresponding supports in FIGURE 1a or 1b.
  • Member 27, with the wetting device 28-, here also improves the conductivity of the electrophotographic material by wetting the back of the sheet.
  • a potential e.g. up to about 800 volts
  • a potential e.g. up to about 800 volts
  • FIGURE 4 shows a further embodiment in which the side of the electrophotographic material which bears the .latent electrostatic image is passed over the support 30 between the feed rolls 29 and over the guide plate 31 in the direction of a chord to the surface of the roll 1 which carries the liquid developer film. The material is then deflected and strikes the deflecting surface 33. It is then advanced over point 32a to the discharge surface 32.
  • the electrophotographic material may here too be tangentially deflected more than once.
  • a voltage can be applied between the roll 1 and the parts 31 and 32.
  • FIGURE shows another embodiment which is preferable for many purposes, in particular for somewhat thicker electrophotographic papers.
  • the electrophotographic material being developed is passed on a support 42 to the feed roll 39 which advances it over a wetting device 41, under a pressure spring 40, and over the linear support 43 to the surface of a roll 34 hearing the film of liquid developer.
  • the electrophotographic material is deflected in the direction of a tangent, strikes the deflecting surface 44 and is then pushed over the point 45 on the support 42 to the exit.
  • the material rests against the roll 34 in the direction of one or more tangents.
  • the roll 34 is slightly lifted-a movement made possible by the sliding bearing 35.
  • the film of developer is applied in the embodiment of FIGURE 5, not by transfer rolls as in FIGURES 1-4, but by another system consisting of an applicator 38, in cluding a container 36 in which the liquid developer 37 is contained.
  • the roll closes the vessel 36 by its own weight and the roll is then, practically speaking, dry on the lower side thereof.
  • Developer can then run out at point 37b and is taken up by the rotating roll so that a film forms on the latter. Liquid that is not applied to the sheet is returned to the storage vessel as a result of the rotation of the roll.

  • the electrophotographic material which is pushed through under the roll, raises the roll slightly.
  • the developer liquid covers the surface of the entire roll, which is rotating, with a thin film of liquid and thereby brings the liquid developer into contact with the latent electrostatic image.

  • the electrophotoraphic material similarly to the preceding embodiments, is deflected and pushed over the surface 52 and the edge 53 to the discharge 54.
  • the roll 55 closes the outlet for the liquid developer. Should traces of liquid continue to drip, the trough 51 catches the liquid without the back of the succeeding electrophotographic material being affected in an undesirable manner.
