Publication number: 20170003638Abstract: A support member is supported in a cylinder included in an image carrier and includes a separation-space-defining portion that is arranged at a certain position in a circumferential direction and extends in an axial direction of the cylinder so that the support member has an arc shape; and a groove-defining portion having a groove depth that changes along the axial direction. A bottom plate of the groove-defining portion is elastically deformed so that the support member presses an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder at least at both ends in the axial direction and is thereby supported in the cylinder.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Masahiro MORI, Hiroshi NO, Shinya MAKIURA, Shuhei YAMAZAKI, Kazushi ARAKE, Satoshi HAYASAKA

Patent number: 9477197Abstract: A support member supported in a cylinder included in an image carrier includes a separation-space-defining portion that is arranged at a certain position in a circumferential direction and extends in an axial direction of the cylinder so that the support member has an arc shape; and a groove-defining portion that extends in the axial direction. An outer diameter of the support member in a central region in the axial direction is smaller than an outer diameter of the support member at both ends in the axial direction. In a state in which the support member is supported in the cylinder, the groove-defining portion is elastically deformed such that elastic restoring force generated in the central region is greater than elastic restoring force generated at the ends.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Masahiro Mori, Hiroshi No, Shinya Makiura, Shuhei Yamazaki, Kazushi Arake, Satoshi Hayasaka

Publication number: 20160274532Abstract: A support member supported in a cylinder includes six or more contact portions that are in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder. The support member is arc-shaped and has a gap extending in an axial direction of the cylinder. When the support member is viewed in the axial direction, a groove is formed in the support member such that the groove and the gap are on opposite sides of a center of the cylinder, and the contact portions are symmetrical with respect to a straight line that passes through the centers of the gap and the cylinder. Of the contact portions on one side of the straight line, the farthest contact portions are separated from each other by approximately 90 degrees or more, and the adjacent contact portions are separated from each other by approximately 20 degrees or more in the circumferential direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2015Publication date: September 22, 2016Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinya MAKIURA, Hiroshi NO, Masahiro MORI, Shuhei YAMAZAKI, Kazushi ARAKE, Satoshi HAYASAKA
