Abstract Disclosed is an improved dies set for magnetizing a cylindrical or columnar magnet adapted for use in an electrostatic developing apparatus of magnetic-brush developing type. The dies set is intended for imparting axially extending and circumferentially alternating magnetic poles to the periphery of the cylindrical columnar permanent magnet. The magnetizing dies set of the invention has a specific pattern of magnetic pole arrangement for rendering the distribution of magnetic attracting force, which is to be permanently applied to the peripheral surface of the columnar magnet in the magnetic developer, so that the attracting force becomes as uniform as possible, over the entire periphery of a shell surrounding the permanent magnet.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A structure of dies set for magnetizing the cylindrical surface of a columnar magnet, the structure comprising: a plurality of axially extending and circumferentially disposed magnetic poles defining at their radially inner ends a through-bore for receiving a columnar permanent magnet material to be magnetized, said inner ends being located in close proximity to the outer cylindrical surface of said columnar permanent magnet material received by said through-bore; and means for generating a triangular magnetic flux distribution having its peak value for each pole at the center of the magnetic pole and a continuously linear wave form between the adjacent poles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
