  • Patent number: 8204424
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cleaning blade for an electrophotographic device, which, even when spherical (perfectly spherical or irregularly shaped), polymerized toner with a small particle diameter is used, can achieve sufficient abrasion resistance and sufficient cleaning ability (particularly cleaning ability under low-temperature and low-humidity conditions). The cleaning blade for an electrophotographic device includes an elastic rubber member; and a supporting member. The elastic rubber member has a double layer structure including an edge layer and a base layer. The edge layer is made of a material with a JIS-A hardness of 65° to 72° at 23° C. and a rebound resilience of 10 to 35%. The base layer is made of a material with a JIS-A hardness of 70° to 80° at 23° C. and a rebound resilience of 40 to 70%, the JIS-A hardness value being larger than the value of hardness of the edge layer.

  • Patent number: 7937026
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid developing electrographic device roller suppressed in volumetric variation caused by a carrier. As a means for solving the problems, the present invention provides a liquid developing electrophotographic device roller including a shaft and an elastic material layer provided around the outer peripheral side of the shaft, wherein the elastic material layer is formed by using a polyurethane obtained by reacting a polyester polyol with a difunctional isocyanate.
