Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
The method of producing plain paper copies of data sheets by first toning a carrier surface and thereafter imaging, comprising the steps of: 1. providing a dielectric surface with a conducting back 2. applying a uniform electrostatic charge to said dielectric surface 3. applying a triboelectric toner in a uniform coating onto said charged dielectric surface 4. neutralizing the electrostatic charge in a pattern corresponding to said data sheet; and thereby substantially loosening said toner from said dielectric surface; and 5. physically attracting said loosened toner onto a final copy carrying sheet; Whereby, the dielectric sheet is toned and thereafter imaged as contrasted with the common methods of imaging and thereafter toning.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
112 words
The method of producing plain paper copies of data sheets by first toning a carrier surface and thereafter imaging, comprising the steps of: 1. providing a dielectric surface with a conducting back 2. applying a uniform electrostatic charge to said dielectric surface 3. applying a triboelectric toner in a uniform coating onto said charged dielectric surface 4. neutralizing the electrostatic charge in a pattern corresponding to said data sheet; and thereby substantially loosening said toner from said dielectric surface; and 5. physically attracting said loosened toner onto a final copy carrying sheet; Whereby, the dielectric sheet is toned and thereafter imaged as contrasted with the common methods of imaging and thereafter toning.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
9 words
applying a uniform electrostatic charge to said dielectric surface
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
9 words
applying a uniform electrostatic charge to said dielectric surface
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
In the method of claim 1, step (5) comprises placing a sheet of plain paper in contact with said dielectric surface and applying a bias charge on the side of said sheet opposite said dielectric surface to attract the loosened toner.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
applying a triboelectric toner in a uniform coating onto said charged dielectric surface
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
applying a triboelectric toner in a uniform coating onto said charged dielectric surface
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
neutralizing the electrostatic charge in a pattern corresponding to said data sheet; and thereby substantially loosening said toner from said dielectric surface; and
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
neutralizing the electrostatic charge in a pattern corresponding to said data sheet; and thereby substantially loosening said toner from said dielectric surface; and
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
physically attracting said loosened toner onto a final copy carrying sheet; Whereby, the dielectric sheet is toned and thereafter imaged as contrasted with the common methods of imaging and thereafter toning.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
physically attracting said loosened toner onto a final copy carrying sheet; Whereby, the dielectric sheet is toned and thereafter imaged as contrasted with the common methods of imaging and thereafter toning.
