DEVELOPING DEVICE AND CLEANING DEVICE USED IN ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS
摘要
A developing device used in an electrophotographic apparatus has seal members (60) fixedly disposed between both end portions of a developing roller (31) and those portions of inner walls of a device casing (21) which correspond to both end portions of the developing roller (31). The seal members (60) are made of a material which can be charged by friction with the developing roller (31) to have the same polarity as charged toner. The toner is blocked by the seal members (60) and prevented from entering end portions of the developing roller (31). <IMAGE>
