ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the development of electrostatic images includes a developer storing section, a developing sleeve, a first magnetic field generating member, a developer layer thickness regulator, a second magnetic field generating member and a developer conveying member. The second magnetic field generating member faces the developing sleeve and forms an attracting magnetic field to attract the carrier particles from the developing sleeve. The second magnetic field generating member, moreover, has a closer section located close to the developing sleeve and a farther section located far from the developing sleeve, the farther section being located downstream of the closer section with regard to the conveying direction. The strength of the attracting magnetic field at the farther section is stronger than that at the closer section so that the carrier particles are removed from the developing sleeve while the magnetic carrier particles is conveyed from the closer section to the farther section by the developing sleeve.
