Abstract: An image support apparatus including a pair of rotatable disk shaped members, a cylindrical member supported and fixed at both ends by the pair of disk shaped members, a flexible image supporter shaped like a thin cylinder and formed with a photosensitive layer at the outer peripheral surface, support members being disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member for supporting the image supporter, a charge roller abutting the outer peripheral surface of the image supporter for uniformly charging the outer peripheral surface, and a frame. A distance between a portion of the image supporter supported by the support member and an end of the charge roller is set to a length to prevent the image supporter, which is bent as the charge roller abuts the image supporter, from becoming permanently deformed.

Abstract: An image carrier device which includes a flexible cylindrical thin image carrier, a support member for supporting both ends of the image carrier and a cylindrical member having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the image carrier. The cylindrical member is disposed inside of the image carrier, wherein the cylindrical member is disposed at an interval between an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member and an inner peripheral surface of the image carrier, such that the interval is smaller than the allowable deformation of the image carrier.

Abstract: In a fusing device having first to third rollers, the first and second rollers are forcibly driven so that a peripheral speed of the third roller is higher than of the first roller. Further, a movable guide is set so as to change the number of nip portions through which a recording medium passes.

Abstract: An image formation apparatus is provided having a continuous form photosensitive member positioned to move along a pre-defined transfer path. An image is exposed on to a portion of the photosensitive member along the transfer path. A heat developer heats the exposed image portion and intercepts the heat to an unexposed portion of the photosensitive member. The heat developer has a cylindrical housing having a heated portion arranged along a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing and a heating element in surface contact with and for heating exposed portions of the photosensitive member. The cylindrical housing also has an unheated portion arranged along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical housing and separated from the heated portion by a thermally insulative material.

Abstract: A method for preparing a concrete joint sealant plate, comprising the steps of impregnating asphalt emulsion into fibrous plate under a reduced pressure and then drying it by means of a heating presser; and a concrete joint sealant plate produced therefrom.
