Claims
- 1. An apparatus for reusing an image recording material, on the surface of which a releasing property is imparted, comprising a member for adding or attaching a heat fusible material onto an image recording material which has an image made of an image forming material containing a heat fusible ingredient on the surface of the image recording material; and a member for contacting a stripping member under pressure with the heat fusible material while heating the heat fusible material together with the image forming material to fuse and for peeling the image recording material from the stripping member to transfer the image forming material together with the heat fusible material to the stripping member, thereby stripping the image forming material from the image recording material.
- 2. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 1, wherein said heat fusible material is a non liquid material.
- 3. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 1, wherein said heat fusible material is a solid material.
- 4. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 1, wherein said heat fusible material is a dry material.
- 5. An apparatus for reusing an image recording material, on the surface of which a releasing property is imparted, comprising a member for adding or attaching a heat fusible material onto an image recording material which has an image made of an image forming material containing a heat fusible ingredient on the surface of the image recording material; and a member for contacting a stripping member under pressure with the heat fusible material while heating the heat fusible material together with the image forming material to fuse and for peeling the image forming material together with the heat fusible material to the stripping member, thereby stripping the image forming material from the image recording material, wherein said heat fusible material is a powdery material.
- 6. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 5, wherein said powdery material is capable of retaining a certain amount of electric charge.
- 7. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 6, wherein said powdery material is a toner.
- 8. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 7, wherein said toner is a colorless toner.
- 9. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 8, wherein said member for adding or attaching a heat fusible material onto the image recording material is a member for adding or attaching the heat fusible material by an electrophotographic process.
- 10. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 7, wherein said member for adding or attaching a heat fusible material onto the image recording material is a member for adding or attaching the heat fusible material by an electrophotographic process.
- 11. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 7, wherein said member for adding or attaching a heat fusible material onto the image recording material is a member for adding or attaching said heat fusible material onto only a predetermined region of said image recording material.
- 12. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 11, which comprises an image reader for recognizing said predetermined region.
- 13. The apparatus for reusing an image recording material according to claim 12, wherein said stripping member comprises a heat roller whose surface has a releasing property.
