Patent number: 8644740Abstract: The present invention provide a mold for forming a developer blade and a developer blade manufactured with such a mold which are able to give images of good quality even in the low-temperature low-humidity condition and to improve a mold releasability. A mold 10 for forming a developer blade has a plate accommodation space 14 in which the metal plate is accommodated and a belt-like cavity 15 for forming the elastic member adjacent to the plate accommodation space. At least a part 20a of a cavity surface 20 defining the cavity 15 in the cross section taken along the cavity width direction is finished to have a surface roughness Ry of not more than 10 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: Taihei Goto

Patent number: 7897221Abstract: A mold for producing a blade for office appliances, wherein a resilient member made of a heat-curable material is adhered to a base plate. The mold includes a cavity corresponding to the resilient member of the blade, a space for placing the base plate adjacent to the cavity, a runner for passing the heat-curable material therethrough and injecting the heat-curable material into the cavity, and a heating means adjacent to the cavity, for causing curing of the heat-curable material in the cavity. At least a part of said runner, including an outlet thereof, is comprised of a cold runner for maintains the heat-curable material, which remains in the cold runner, at a temperature lower than its curing temperature.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: Taihei Goto

Patent number: 7655169Abstract: A developing blade 10 is insert molded by forming a rib portion 13 which projects from an end portion in the longitudinal direction of a blade body 12 in the transverse direction of the blade body 12, opposite to the contact surface 12a side of the blade body 12, on the blade body 12 in contact with the developing roll of the developing blade 10 and forming the gate 21G of a metal mold 20 in which a metal plate 11 as an insert member has been installed only in a cavity 21b corresponding to the above rib portion 13. Therefore, a developing blade 10 without burrs and recesses on its contact surface with the developing roll or without welds can be easily manufactured.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2005Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha BridgestoneInventor: Taihei Goto
