| 20080213007 | MAGNET ROLLER AND METHOD FOR THE SAME, MAGNETIC PARTICLE-SUPPORT MEMBER, DEVELOPMENT DEVICE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A magnet roller includes a cylindrical roller body including a side surface in which a groove is formed, a magnet body which is disposed in the groove, and a magnetic metal member which is attached to a surface of the magnet body, which is remote from an opening of the groove. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080226355 | DEVELOPMENT DEVICE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS - A development device includes a developer support body including a non-magnetic hollow body which contains a magnetic field generator and attracts a developer onto an outer surface by a magnetic force of the magnetic field generator, a magnetic member being disposed around the magnetic field generator and exerting a magnetic force on the magnetic field generator, and an anti-deflection magnetic field generator being provided around the hollow body and exerting a magnetic force on the magnetic field generator to prevent a deflection of the magnetic field generator by negating at least one of the magnetic force of the magnetic member and a gravitational force due to empty weight of the magnetic field generator. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080298849 | Magnetic roller and manufacturing method thereof, developer carrier, development device, processing cartridge, and image forming apparatus - A magnetic roller includes a solid-core roller having magnetic anisotropy in a direction orthogonal to a central axis thereof. The solid-core roller includes a body part, and shaft parts disposed on both ends of the body part, a concave groove provided in an outer circumference face of the body part to extend in an axial direction, and a magnetic block disposed in the concave groove, the magnetic block having a direction of magnetic anisotropy substantially orthogonal to a direction of the magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic roller. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090154961 | DEVELOP UNIT, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS - A develop unit is configured to include a developer roller having a developer sleeve and a magnetic roller with a magnetic pole, a supply path formed in parallel with an axial direction of the developer roller, a supply screw supplying the developer to the developer roller, and a first bulkhead forming the supply path. In the developer unit, the magnetic pole is disposed so that a normal line through a maximum magnetic flux density point in a circumferential direction coincides with a tangent line to an upper portion of the supply screw in a rotary direction, the maximum magnetic flux density point being a point at which a density of a magnetic flux from the magnetic pole is maximum on an outer surface of the developer sleeve. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090175666 | MAGNETIC FIELD GENERATING MEMBER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, MAGNETIC PARTICLE SUPPORT BODY, IMAGE DEVELOPMENT DEVICE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A magnetic field generating member with high stiffness and small size, an image development device, a process cartridge and an image forming apparatus including the magnetic field generating member as well as a manufacturing method of the magnetic field generating member are provided where the magnetic field generating member includes a main body, a groove provided in the main body, an interposition member configured to be fitted in the groove of the main body and including a concave portion and a magnetic member as a long magnetic compact fixed into the concave portion of the interposition member. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090232563 | MAGNETIC ROLLER, DEVELOPER CARRIER, DEVELOPING DEVICE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A magnetic roller includes a cylindrical magnetic field generation part ( | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090245889 | DEVELOPING UNIT, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCORPORATING SAME, AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE INCLUDING SAME - A developing unit includable in a process cartridge and in an image forming apparatus includes a developer bearing member including a magnetic field generator and a nonmagnetic hollow member, a developer container, an agitation/conveyance member, and a developer regulating member. The magnetic field generator has first and second magnetic poles to generate respective magnetic forces for removing the developer from the developer bearing member after the developer passes the development region. A developer-releasing region releases the developer from the developer bearing member using a release force. The developer is disposed higher than a surface of the developer in the developer storing chamber. A component of a magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator in a direction normal to the developer-releasing region is directed to a same direction as the first and second magnetic poles across the developer-releasing region without forming a local maximum point. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100067959 | DEVELOPER CARRIER, DEVELOPMENT DEVICE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developer carrier includes a magnetic field generating device provided with a plurality of magnetic poles including an agent separating pole and a scooping pole, and a cylindrical hollow body accommodating therein the magnetic field generating device and rotated around an axis of the cylindrical hollow body. A half-value width of a magnetic flux density at both end portions of at least one magnetic pole of the agent separating pole and the scooping pole is formed to be identical to or narrower than a half-value width of the magnetic flux density at a central portion of the one magnetic pole. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100077588 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A HOLLOW BODY USED IN AN IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A method of manufacturing a hollow body having an external surface randomly provided with a large number of depressions is provided. The method includes providing the large number of depressions on the external surface of the hollow body. A profile curve of the external surface in a circumferential direction is obtained while rotating the hollow body. A frequency analysis is performed on the obtained profile curve. A quality of the hollow body is judged by comparing a result of the frequency analysis with a predetermined judgment standard. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100158578 | DEVELOPMENT ROLLER, DEVELOPMENT DEVICE, PROCESSING CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE - An image forming device comprises a process cartridge. The process cartridge comprises a development roller. The development roller comprises a magnet roller and a developing sleeve | 06-24-2010 |
