In an oil application roller 1 having an oil retaining member 2 made of a hollow cylindrical porous formed body provided with an oil application layer 3 on the outer periphery thereof and that supplies a fixing roll with lubricant oil 6 retained in the oil retaining member 2, the porous formed body 2 is made of an inorganic material having micro-diameter voids and pores inside, at least a part of the micro-diameter voids communicates with a surface of the porous formed body and the pores, and at least a part of the pores communicates with a surface of the porous formed body through the-micro-diameter voids. Also, if permeability resistance is 100 to 6,000 Pa.s/m 2 , no oil leak occurs during transportation and storage, the amount of the lubricant oil supplied to the fixing roll can be controlled and a uniform amount of lubricant oil can be supplied despite its compact and simple structure, the utilization rate of the lubricant oil can be enhanced. Further, if a pressure buffer device is provided between the hollow portion and the atmosphere, ill effects from oil leak and thermal expansion can be prevented.

An improved donor member for applying a toner release agent to a toned receiver comprises a support an intermediate layer disposed on the support, and an outermost layer formed from a cured composition comprising a fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer, a curing agent, a particulate filler containing zinc oxide, and a curable aminosiloxane, wherein the fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer has subunits of:
and x is from 1 to 40 or 60 to 80 mole percent, y is from 10 to 90 mole percent, z is from 10 to 90 mole percent, and x + y + z equals 100 mole percent. A fuser apparatus for electrostatographic printing comprises a fuser roll and a pressure roll forming a nip, a supply of offset preventing oil contained in a reservoir, and a donor roll for delivering the offset preventing oil to a receiver bearing a toner image, wherein the donor roll has an outermost layer formed from the described cured composition comprising a fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer, a curing agent, particulate zinc oxide, and a curable aminosiloxane.

An oil application device (10) includes a web (12) that comes in contact with the surface of the fuser roller (30), a supply roll (11) for delivering the web (12), and a take-up roll (14) for taking up the web (12), wherein the web (12) is applied and impregnated with a mixture of a fuser oil and a curing agent.
摘要:
A recording medium having a toner image formed thereon is moved to pass through a press contact portion between an endless belt being heated and an pressure roller pressed against the endless belt. When passing through the press contact portion, the toner image is fused and permanently affixed onto the recording medium. An oil application width O of an oil application roller is shorter than belt width B of the endless belt, and a maximum passing width P of a recording medium that may be supplied for the image formation, but is longer than a maximum image-forming width I within which an image may be formed on the recording medium.
