<p>MULTIPLE BRUSH DEVELOPER APPLYING APPARATUS AND METHOD Magnetically attractable toner carrying materials are transported into contact with latent electrostatic images on the photoconductor surface of a drum by multiple magnetic roll brush elements. One brush extracts toner material from a source and transports it through a zone including contact of the toner carrying materials with one area of the latent image drum surface. The first brush acts as a conveyor and a diverter blade or bar is arranged to redirect at least a portion of the magnetic toner carrying materials onto the second brush. The second brush transports the diverted materials into contact with the latent image drum surface at yet another area thereof. The diverter bar or blade is positionable so as to control the quantity of materials diverted or transferred between the brush rolls.</p> |
