ABSTRACT:
A developing apparatus includes a developing container for containing a developer comprising toner and a carrier, said developing container is partitioned into a first chamber and a second chamber constituting a circulation path of the developer; a first developing rotatable member, provided in said first chamber, for developing an electrostatic image formed on the image bearing member with the developer in said first chamber; a regulating member for regulating a layer thickness of the developer on said first developing rotatable member; first magnetic pole and second magnetic pole, disposed in said first developing rotatable member in order named in a rotational direction of said first developing rotatable member, said first magnetic pole and second magnetic pole being defective to form a repelling magnetic field; a second developing rotatable member, disposed in said second chamber, for developing the the electrostatic image formed on the image bearing member with the developer magnetically received from said first developing rotatable member; wherein said regulating member is disposed at a position substantially opposed to said second magnetic pole.
