LIQUID TYPE ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY DEVELOPING APPARATUS

摘要

Liquid developing apparatus for use with an electrophotographic device wherein a plurality of images are sequentially exposed along the length of a web of electrophotographic sensitive material, the apparatus including (1) means for containing a liquid developer; (2) a plurality of developing electrodes, each of which is at least partially disposed within the liquid developer; (3) means for moving each of the developing electrodes along a closed path; (4) means for intermittently feeding the web of electrophotographic sensitive material through the developing liquid after each image exposure of the web to develop latent images on the sensitive material corresponding to the exposure images; (5) means for substantially maintaining a predetermined spacing between the sensitive material and the developing electrodes while the sensitive material is in the liquid developer; and the developing electrodes being so positioned that said images on the web are respectively in complete face-to-face relationship with respect to said developing electrodes whenever the web is stopped in the developer liquid during the intermittent feeding thereof so that the latent images are uniformly developed when the web is stopped.
