  • Patent number: 6951688
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a charging member for charging a surface of a member to be charged in an image forming apparatus, and one aspect of the present invention provides a charging member having an outermost surface layer containing a conductive elastic material. The conductive elastic material comprises a polymer including a polar polymer, primarily including (i) acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, (ii) an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer, and (iii) a homopolymer of epichlorohydrin. The weights x, y and z of the components (i), (ii) and (iii), respectively, have a relationship of 0.2<y/(x+y+z)?0.5 and 4<y/z?20. This charging member can realize uniform charging and is small in resistance variation, even when used for a long time.

  • Patent number: 6523352
    Abstract: Piping support of a gas turbine steam cooled combustor is improved such that even when the piping support is damaged by combustion vibration, dropping of the piping support from the piping is prevented, so as to avoid intrusion of fractions of the piping support into turbine portion. An outer fitting member is fixed to a wall surface of a tail tube by welds. A ring is pinched inside the outer fitting member to be fixed by welds. The ring having an inner diameter slightly larger than an outer diameter of steam piping is fitted around the steam piping to be fixed by welds at three places. The steam piping is fixed to the ring, the ring is fixed to the outer fitting member and the outer fitting member is fixed to the tail tube. Thus, the steam piping is supported to the tail tube and even when the welds are detached by combustion vibration, no case of the outer fitting member dropping from the steam piping occurs.

  • Patent number: 6279982
    Abstract: When a rear seat is moved forward, a front leg is swung forward around a roller arm. When the front leg of the rear seat is swung forward by a predetermined angle, a hook provided in the roller arm is detached from a round bar portion of a striker so that a roller is moved downward along a guide rail. Further, as the roller is moved downward along the guide rail, the front leg of the rear seat is swung forward around the roller arm. Therefore, a radius of rotation of the seat is reduced when the rear seat is moved to a position for storage on a vertical-front-side floor surface.

  • Patent number: 6078778
    Abstract: This invention provides an improved electrifying member capable of that can have an electric voltage applied to it to electrify a surface of another member which is to be electrified. In particular, said electrifying member comprises an electrically conductive elastomer obtained by vulcanizing a mixture containing a nitryl rubber, a liquid nitryl rubber, and a non-polar polymer. Therefore, the invention provides an improved electrophotograph apparatus employing the above improved electrifying member, which has a relatively uniform electric resistance and uniform electrifying characteristics, has almost no change in its characteristics even if it has been used for a long time period, and is non-viscous and thus will not stick to a photosensitive body (to be electrified) so that it will not contaminate the photosensitive body.
