Patent number: 10802414Abstract: A charging device includes a charging roller and a cleaning roller that includes a core and a foamed elastic layer disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the core and that rotates in contact with a surface of the charging roller. The number of ends of a cell skeleton that protrude from a surface of the foamed elastic layer is 25 ends/mm2 or more and 50 ends/mm2 or less. The cleaning roller is disposed in contact with the charging roller such that the compression ratio of the foamed elastic layer is 30% or less. The compression ratio is represented by Equation (1): compression ratio (%)=(r1/2+r2/2?d)/t1×100??Equation (1): where r1 is the outer diameter (mm) of the cleaning roller, r2 is the outer diameter (mm) of the charging roller, d is the interaxial distance (mm) between the charging roller and the cleaning roller, and t1 is the thickness (mm) of the foamed elastic layer of the cleaning roller.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2020Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhiko Kinuta, Fuyuki Kano, Akihiro Nonaka, Keiko Matsuki, Kosuke Narita

Patent number: 10429758Abstract: A height of convexities in a 0.7-mm-square area of a surface of the charging member is measured at five or more different positions in an axial direction and calculated. A height of a position where the charging member occupies 0.01 area % from a highest portion is defined as a reference height. An average proportion of areas occupied by the charging member at a position 1.7 ?m lower than the reference height is 2 area % or less relative to 100 area % of the 0.7-mm-square area.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Kosuke Narita, Shogo Tomari, Keiko Matsuki
