Abstract

Abstract Novel electrophotographic development carrier particles for use with toner particles comprising a plurality of core particles coated with fluorinated carbon or a fluorinated carbon containing resin and an electrophotographic process comprising forming an electrostatic image on the surface of a photoconductive member and contacting the image with a developer mixture comprising finely divided toner particles mixed with such electrophotographic development carrier particles.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
Electrophotographic development carrier particles for use with toner particles comprising a plurality of core particles coated with fluorinated carbon or a fluorinated carbon containing resin which resin is capable of binding the fluorinated carbon to the core particles without adversely affecting the desired triboelectric properties of the fluorinated carbon with the proviso that said resin component does not include a fluorine containing resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 63 words
Electrophotographic development carrier particles for use with toner particles comprising a plurality of core particles coated with fluorinated carbon or a fluorinated carbon containing resin which resin is capable of binding the fluorinated carbon to the core particles without adversely affecting the desired triboelectric properties of the fluorinated carbon with the proviso that said resin component does not include a fluorine containing resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
Electrophotographic development carrier particles in accordance with claim 1 wherein the core particles are coated with fluorinated carbon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
Electrophotographic development carrier particles in accordance with claim 1 in which the fluorinated carbon is derived from carbon black or petroleum coke.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
