PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brush having desired performance, especially, desired contacting property with an object and suitably used for a conductive device used for an image forming apparatus such as a printer, a copying machine or a facsimile machine. SOLUTION: The surface of a brush cloth 10 is held into a projecting state to a solvent 31 by a roller 60. A distance between the brush cloth 10 and the liquid level (upper level) of the solvent 31 is adjusted so that the solvent may adhere to a desired position from the tips of brush bristles 14. Since the brush bristles 14 are immersed in the solvent to the desired position from the tips thereof, they are split to the desired position from the tips thereof. As a result, the brush bristles having desired rigidity are formed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
