Abstract

In a device for developing electrostatic images with developer mix including magnetic carrier particles and triboelectrically charged toner particles which comprises a container for the developer mix, magnetic field producing means and an applicator enclosing the magnetic field producing means, a magnetic brush forming means is provided in the container for applying toner particles substantially uniformly to a surface to be developed, and a toner powder-cloud forming means is provided in spaced apart relationship with the magnetic brush forming means for applying toner particles to the same surface by the use of the edge effect of the toner powder.
