A contact shock dampening and development nip forming apparatus for developers includes a unit to dampen a contact shock and to form a development nip installed on both ends of a developing roller to be disposed between a photosensitive body and the developing roller. Accordingly, the contact shock dampening and development nip forming apparatus absorbs shocks applied to the photosensitive body from the developing roller upon changing the developers, to thereby protect the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive body and extend the lifespan of the photosensitive body. The apparatus also maintains a thickness of the development nip to thereby obtain a steady image quality, even though the developing roller and/or the photosensitive body may be formed of solid substances.
A contact shock dampening and development nip forming apparatus for use in an electrophotographic image forming device having a developer, a photosensitive body to form electrostatic latent images on a surface thereof, and a developing agent transfer body rotating in contact with the photosensitive body to attach a developing agent onto the electrostatic latent images formed on the photosensitive body to form visual images, comprising:
