- lnsulating support means 25 is adapted to support the electrographic stylus 24 at a suitable distance from the insulating recording medium 21 such that air ionization may occur in the air gap between the electrographic stylus 24 and the surface of the insulating recording means 21, whereby a small electrical discharge may be established between the selectively energized electrodes and the electrode means 22.
- Suitable distances that have heretofore been utilized are within the range three to five thousandths of an inch between the electrodes. I
- insulating support means 25 may be displaced by a suitable motor, not shown, which may be a constant drive motor or a conventional stepping motor. Additional means may be provided for returning the insulating support means 25 from a rightmost position to a leftmost position after. the recording of a complete line of characters.
- suitable drive means is described in U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 805,694 filed on Mar.- 10, 1969, and assigned to Xerox Corporation.
- the insulating support means 25 may remain fixed, and electrode means 22 and guide support member 23 may form a conventional movable carriage adapted to transport the insulating recording medium 21 in a right to left direction, thereby enabling the electrographic stylus 24 to record successive characters thereon.
- the endless belt 11 is positionedsuch that the operating surface. of each of applicators 12, 13 and 14 and 17 mounted thereon may travel into contact with the surface of the insulating recording medium 21.
- the insulating recording medium may be disposed in. the plane defined by the terminal points of the fibers of the .applicatorsf
- the electrographic stylus 24 is interposed between theinsulating recording medium 21 and the endless belt 11. It is understood however, thatwhen. the applicators 12-14 travel into the vicinity of the electrographic stylus 24 the fibers of each of the applicators are deformed by the insulating support means 25 to permit displacement therepast, and no interaction occurs between. the charged electrostatic developer particles retained by the applicators and the electrodes included in the electrographic stylus.
- a shaft 26 is suitably fastened to one of the cylinders 16 and is supplied a with a rotationaltorque by the source of motive power 30.
- the source of motive power3tl may comprise a conventional electric motor which may be a constant drive motor or a conventional stepping motor.
- Conv'en-' tionalcoupling means comprised of endless belt 2'7 deployed about rollers 28 and 29 may be utilized to couple the motor 30 tothe shaft 26.
- Other mechanical coupling means such as drive speed reducing gears may be utilized if desired. It is preferable that the rotational speed of electric motor 30 be maintained at a-constant value notwithstanding the loading effects produced when an applicator travels into the vicinity of insulating support means 25.
- a source of electrostatic developer particles is provided to supply the applicators 12-14 and 117 with electrostatic developer particles subsequent to the deposition of such particles upon an electrostatic charge pattern.
- the source of electrostatic developer particles may be similar to that described in the aforementioned US. Pat. Application Serial No. 805,694 or may comprise suitable liquid dispersion apparatus well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- Electric motor 30 imparts a velocity to the endless belt 11 such that the endless belt is displaced in the direction indicated by the arrow A.
- Electrostatic developer particles are applied to each of applicators 12-14 and 17 by a source of particles not shown.
- the fibers included in each of the applicators serve to charge the supplied electrostatic developer particles whereby the particles are retained by triboelectric attraction to the applicators.
- Electrostatic developer particles will be supplied to those applicators and portions of applicators which are deficient in particles. Consequently, the consideration of non-uniform loading of an applicator, i.e., excess electrostatic developer particles supplied to an applicator, is obviated.
- Electrographic stylus 24 is proximately situated with respect tothe dielectric coating of insulating recording means 21 and the conducting surface of insulating recording means 21 is an intimate contact with the surface 221 of electrode 22.
- the electrographic stylus 24 is selectively energized by applying data signals thereto such as by depressing a selected key of a keyboard, by supplying received facsimile signals thereto, or the like.
- the selective energization of electrographic stylus 24 establishes corresponding electrical discharges between each of the selectively'energized electrodes included in the electrographic stylus 2d and electrode means 22. Accordingly, ions which are created in the air gap between the electrographic stylus 24 and the surface of insulating recording means 21 are deposited on the surface of the insulating recording means 21 in a patterncorresponding to the selectively energized electrodes. Thus an electrostatic latent image comprised of an electrostatic charge pattern is formed. The.

- the electrostatic latent image formed on insulating recording means 21 is developed to form a visible image when one of applicators 12-14 and 17 travels a into contact therewith. Itshould be understood that when an applicator sweeps over an electrostatic charge pattern the electrostatic force exerted on the electrostatic developer particles is sufficient to overcome the triboelectric attraction between the developer particles and the fibers of the applicator to thereby urge the particles into contact with the charge pattern. It may be observed that the forces exerted on the electrostatic developer particles by the impact between an applicator and the surface of the insulating recording means 21 may be sufficient to dislodge said particles from the applicator. The electrostatic developer particles however, will be attracted only to an electrostatic charge pattern.
- the dislodged electrostatic developer particles will merely cascade across the surface of the insulating recording medium 211 to be recovered by a sump located beneath the illustrated apparatus.
- the character F is an electrostatic charge pattern deposited on the surface of the insulating recording medium 211 by selectively energized electrographic stylus 2d, electrostatic developer particles retained by the fibers of applicator 112 will be removed therefrom to develop the image of the character F.
- electrostatic developer particles will be removed from applicator 112 in the vicinity of the developed images of characters C, D and E". However, insufficient electrostatic forces will exist between the developed images and said other removed electrostatic developer particles, and the electrostatic developer particles will fall, under the influence of the gravitational forces exerted thereon, to a sump for subsequent recovery thereof.
- each of the applicators 1241 5 and 17 will successively scan a line of insulating recording means 21 to deposit the electrostatic developer particles retained thereby onto the electrostatic charge patterns formed by the electrographic stylus 2d.
- electrographic stylus 2d may be aligned with either the upper half of the endless belt it or with the lower half thereof.
- each applicator will be deformed by the presence of the insulating support means 25 as-each ap plication is displaced.
- each applicator is subjected to uniform wear. along the entire length thereof.
- the observer may be the operator of a keyboard adapted to be utilized with the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 2.
- each character may be perceived immediately after the recording thereof and it is not necessary to record a r plurality of lines of characters before observation of a first recorded line of characters is obtained.
- One advantage of mounting a plurality of applicators on the endless belt 111 is that improved development of electrostatic images obtains.
- the electrostatic developer particles may be fixed to the insulating recording medium 211 in any of several conventional manners.
- guide support means 23 may include a conventional heating assembly through which the insulating recording medium 21 is advanced.
- the heating assembly may fuse the electrostatic developer particles to the surface of the insulating recording medium 211 in the well-known manner. Flash fusing or fixing may also be used to render the developed images permanent.
- the electrostatic charge patterns may be deposited on the surface of the insulating recording medium 2 by conventional means other than the electrographic stylus 2d illustrated herein.
- a linear array of energizable light emissive elements may be disposed to selectively dissipate a uniform layer of electrostatic charge deposited on the surface of the insulating recording medium 21.
- the insulating recording medium may comprise a conventional electrophotographic member and the linear array of light emissive elements may be selectively energized in accordance with data signals supplied thereto.
- the light emissive elements may be positioned in a manner that does not interfere with the optical path established between an observer and a recorded character, which optical path passes through the space defined by adjacent applicators.
