  • a photosensitive surface such as xerographic plate comprising a layer of photoconductive insulating material supported on a conductive backing is uniformly electrostatically charged over its surface and then exposed to a light pattern of the image to be reproduced, thereby discharging the photoconductor in the illuminated areas.
  • the areas of the layer that thereafter remain charged thus form an electrostatic latent image in conformity with the configuration of the subject matter to be reproduced.
  • the latent electrostatic image may then be developed by contacting it with a finely divided electrostatically attractable material such as a resinous powder.
  • a finely divided electrostatically attractable material such as a resinous powder.
  • the powder is held in image areas by the electrostatic charges on the layer. Where the charge is greatest, the greatest amount of material is deposited; and where the charge is least, little, if any, material is deposited.
  • Reversal development techniques familiar to those skilled in the art wherein charged areas that remain on the layer after exposure represent non-image areas, may also be employed to develop the latent electrostatic image.
  • the developed xerographic powder image is usually transferred to a support surface, such as a sheet of copy paper to which it may be fixed by any suitable means.
  • a commonly used developing material in electrostatic copying devices consists of a pigmented resinous powder referred to hereinafter as toner" and a coarse granular material hereinafter referred to as carrier.”
  • the carrier is removed in the triboelectric series from the toner so a charge is generated between the powder and carrier upon mutual interaction. Such charge causes the toner to adhere to the carrier.
  • the carrier besides providing a charge to the toner, permits mechanical control so the toner may readily be brought into contact with the exposed xerographic surface. As noted hereinabove, the toner particles are attracted to the electrostatic latent image to produce a visible powder image.
  • the carrier may also take the form of brushlike fibers having properties and functions similar the the granular carrier material.
  • Such a brush-like carrier is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,25l,706.
  • the brush may also be formed of fibers formed of magnetic carrier granules formed into a brush-like formation through the use of a magnetic field as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,832,311.
  • the quality of the developed image may be affected by the ratio of toner particles to carrier granules commonly referred to as toner concentration. For example, if there is a deficiency of toner, the image areas will be unable to attract sufficient toner to fully develop the image resulting in light copies. On the other hand, if there is an excess amount of toner in a developer material, the image areas become overly dark, with quantities of toner becoming attracted to non-image areas.
  • the reason for this phenomenon is the attractive force holding toner particles on a carrier granule is reduced as the number of toner particles on the particular carrier granule is increased. Conversely, as the number of toner particles on a carrier granule is decreased, the attractive force holding the particles on the carrier is increased. Therefore, with fewer toner particles on a carrier granule, the particles will not be readily given up to the electrostatic charge of the latent image. In the case of a high number of toner particles on a carrier granule, the force of attraction therebetween is markedly decreased, often to the point where even residual charges on non-image areas is sufficient to attract the toner particles.
  • an original may have large non-image areas upon which are solid-area objects to be developed.
  • depletion of the toner particles from the developer mixture will be localized.
  • the indiscriminate addition of toner particles to the developer mixture has sometimes caused the problems hereinabove described.
  • Another object of this invention is to control the toner distribution in a developer mixture by selfregulating means.
  • Another object of this invention is to eliminate development defects characterized by localized developer conditions.
  • a still further object of this invention is to regulate the toner distribution of developer in an automatic copying machine so as to maintain high quality prints on a continuous basis.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a toner distributing device adjacent the development zone of the xerographic apparatus.
  • an electrically conductive member adjacent the flow path of the developer material.
  • the member is connected to a source of electrical potential and is biased to a polarity opposite from the polarity on the toner particles in the developer flow.
  • An electric field is thus created which extends from the electrically conductive member to the developer material.
  • the electric field attracts toner particles to the conductive member from portions of the developer material having greater quantities of toner particles dispersed therein.
  • the electrically conductive member is moved in a direction generally transverse to the direction of movement of developer material to transport the toner particles attracted to the conductive member so they are attracted by portions of the developer mixture having lesser quantities of toner particles dispersed therein.

  • the light. transparency and lens, working on combination. project on the photosensitive member an optical image. the movement of which is synchronized with the movement of the drum.
  • the projected optical image causes selective charge dissipation in illuminated areas of layer l5, thus forming an electrostatic latent image.
  • Other means of forming such images including means for forming images on ordinary insulating surfaces are known in the art and may be used in lieu of the one shown.
  • the photosensitive member passes by development station C wherein the latent electrostatic image is ren dered visible.
  • Station C will be described more fully in conjunction with FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the transfer step which is accomplished at transfer station D.
  • the image is transferred from photosensitive member 111 to a web of paper 22 or the like which is fed between guide rolls 23 and 24.
  • Second corona device 27 cffects the electrostatic transfer of the developed latent image from member 11 to web 22.
  • Web 22 is fed from reel 25 before transfer and is rcwound on reel 26 after transfer and fusing.
  • Fusing element 28 is positioned to heat the transferred image and thus fix and permanently bond the image to paper web 22.

  • Development station C includes a developer housing 30 comprising side walls 36 and 37 (shown in FIG. 3).
  • a developer mixture is contained in the lower portion of housing 30 which functions as a sump therefor.
  • the developer material comprises a mixture of charged toner particles and oppositely charged carrier granules.
  • the carrier granules which function to carry the toner particles and to generate a triboelectric charge on the toner particles, normally comprise a core. base or interior composed of any solid material which may be of high specific gravity such as glass or steel and nickel beads. covered with or encased in a suitable covering which imparts the necessary triboelectrie properties to the granular carrier material.
  • the triboelectric relationship between the toner particles and granular carriers depends on the respective relative positions in the triboelectric series.
  • triboelectrification theory materials are arranged in a column in such a way that each material is charged to a positive polarity when contacted with any material below it in the series and to a negative polarity when contacted with any material above it in the series. It is desirable to select the toner particles and granular carrier materials so their mutual electrification is considerable. The degree of such electrification is governed in most cases by the distance between the positions in the triboelectric series; that is, the greater distance they are removed from one another the greater the mutual electrification and the closer they are together in the series the less the mutual electrification.
  • United States Pat. No. 2.6l8.55 l for a better description of how the triboelectric charge is generated on the toner particles.

  • a magnetic brush is disposed in housing 30 above member 31.
  • the magnetic brush includes a stationary magnet 33 and a roller or applicator member 32.
  • Roller 32 is rotatably disposed about magnet 33.
  • the magnetic field of magnet 33 attracts the magnetically attractable developer mixture to roller 32.
  • the roller thereafter conveys the developer mixture so that the toner is attracted by the latent electrostatic image on layer 15.
  • the roller is mounted on shaft 40, which is suitably journaled in walls 36 and 37.by bearings 41. Shafts 38 and 40 are connected to a source of power (not shown).
  • vanes 31 sweep the developer disposed in the bottom of housing 30 upward, so that the developer is brought within the magnetic field of magnet 33.
  • the distance between member 31 and roller 32 of the magnetic brush should be limited so as to maintain the strength of the magnetic field at a sufficient level to attract the developer onto roller 32.
  • the magnetic carrier-toner mixture orients itself along the lines of magnetic force, thereby forming a structure which is similar to the bristles of a brush.
  • the developer mixture is thus rotated into close proximity with the latent electrostatic image formed on layer of member 11.
  • the latent electrostatic image attracts toner particles form the developer mixture, to thereby develop the latent image.
  • magnet 33 will be oriented so one of its poles is positioned to influence the developer mixture on roller 32 so the mixture will be erect when brought into close proximity with the latent electrostatic image.
  • a conductive member 34 such as a wire, is provided in the flow path of the developer mixture.
  • the member moves transversely to the movement of the developer mixture.
  • One end of member 34 is opcratively connected to a coiled spring 43 which is disposed within housing 42.
  • the other end of member 34 is looped over a suitable guide 44 and is affixed to one end of a rotatable member or other suitable means 45.
  • Rotatable member 45 is connected to shaft 38 and will rotate therewith.
  • Member 45 functions as an eccentric to transform the rotational movement of shaft 38 into a reciprocal or translational movement for member 34.
  • member 34 will move in a reciprocal member through the flow path of developer mixture.
  • Spring 43 is provided to return member 34 to its initial position and in addition to provide a force to maintain member 34 in a taut manner.

The opposite end 50 of spring 43 is rigidly affixed to housing 42. One end of member 34 is also joined to shaft 49. As member 34 moves through the flow path of developer material, spring 43 is compressed. By utilizing the force produced by the compression of the spring, member 34 is maintained substantially taut and is returned to its initial position during the continued rotation of shaft 38.
  • Member 34 is connected via brush 46 to a source of electrical potential 47.
  • the member is biased to a suitable potential, for example, 500 volts. An electric field is thus created about member 34.
  • the source of electrical potential should be of the same polarity as the charge on the carrier material.
  • the potential of a bare carrier granule should be greater than 500 volts for a reason that shall become more apparent hereinafter.
  • the attractive force holding toner particles on carrier granules is proportional to the number of particles on the particular carrier. Therefore, with fewer toner particles on a carrier granule, these particles will be more strongly attracted thereto and will not not be readily given up to the electrostatic charge of the latent image. Conversely, where a high number of toner particles are attracted to a carrier granule, the force of attraction therebetween is markedly decreased, often to the point where even residual charges on non-image areas are sufficient to attract the toner particles.
  • Member 34 moving within the flow path of the developer mixture will attract toner particles from carrier granules having a high number of toner particles attached thereto.
