TRANSFERRING AND CARRYING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain the characteristics to powerfully separate and carry a transfer material by effectively utilizing the electrostatic charge characteristics between a carrying belt and transfer material without using special means for an electrostatic charger. CONSTITUTION:Current is passed from a corona charger 12 to the transfer material 8 and a conductive contact means 14 through the carrying belt 9 to previously and sufficiently impact electric charge to the transfer material 8 and the belt 9 so that said material and belt are brought into tight contact with each other. Electric charge is again imparted by a gap discharge between the belt 9 and transfer material 8 which are brought into tight contact with each other by the corona charger 12 at the time of carrying the transfer material 8 to the transfer part thereafter. The separability of the transfer material 8 from the toner image holding body 1 is thereby enhanced in reliability and the carrying characteristic of the transfer material 8 is improved.
