Fine material loading chute - has base steeper than slump angle to form stationary material layer inside

The chute is for loading loose fine material such as cres, grain etc. into bulk carriers, particularly where rough handling is liable to cause breakage of the particles and thus impair the quality. It has a base joining two sidewalls. The base (10) is inclined to the horizontal at an angle (a) appreciably greater than the slump angle of the material (12). The height of the sides is such that the load (12) forms inside the chute a stationary layer whose outer surface (12a) is inclined at the slump angle. Thus, successive particles loaded flow downwards over this outer surface.

Electrostatic copying machine comprising improved magnetic brush developing-cleaning unit

A magnetic brush is used to develop a toner image on a photoconductive drum and subsequently to remove residual toner substance from the drum. An electrode roller is disposed closely adjacent to the magnetic brush between a developing tank containing the toner substance and the drum in the direction of rotation of the magnetic brush. For cleaning the drum, an electric potential is applied between the magnetic brush and the electrode roller which causes toner substance to be transferred from the magnetic brush to the electrode roller, thereby reducing the amount of toner substance on the magnetic brush and improving the cleaning effect. For development, the electric potential may be reversed to transfer the toner substance from the electrode roller back to the magnetic brush to increase theamount of toner substance thereon. Alternatively, the toner substance may be removed from the electrode roller for recycling and no transfer effected between the magnetic brush and the electrode roller during development. As yet another alternative, the electric potential may be varied during development in accordance with sensed image density on the drum to transfer toner substance from the magnetic brush to the electrode roller in a suitable amount to adjust the printing density to a desired value.
