Japanese Patent JPS4856141
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An apparatus for maintaining a substantially uniform distribution of toner particles within the developer flow in a latent electrostatic image development system in which an electrically conductive member positioned adjacent the flow path of the developer material is connected to a source of electrical potential and biased to a polarity opposite from the polarity on the toner particles in the developer flow. The electrically conductive member is moved in a direction generally transverse to the direction of developer flow. Toner particles are attracted to the conductive member from developer material in portions of the developer flow having greater quantities of toner particles dispersed therein and as the conductive member is transported across the developer flow, toner particles are attracted from the conductive member to portions of the developer flow having lesser quantities of toner particles dispersed therein.
