摘要:
A full-color image forming apparatus for forming an image on a transfer material by transferring a toner image formed on an image bearing member onto the transfer material includes a belt-shaped transfer member for transferring a toner image from the image bearing member onto a transfer material, and a cleaning blade for cleaning the belt-shaped transfer member by being brought into contact therewith. Shape coefficients SF-1 and SF-2 of a toner for forming the toner image have values of 100≦SF-1≦125, and 100≦SF-2≦125, respectively. The belt-shaped transfer member has a seamless shape in which a seam is absent. An amount of abrasion of a surface of the belt-shaped transfer member is equal to or less than 10.0 mg. An angle of contact with respect to water of the belt-shaped transfer member is at least 60°. A slide resistance of a surface of the belt-shaped transfer member is equal to or less than 1 N.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive, double-coated tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive, double-coated tape having i) a reinforcing base material and ii) pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both sides of the reinforcing base material. The reinforcing base material has a thickness of from 25 μm or more to 200 μm or less, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both sides each have a thickness of 200 μm or less and at least one of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers has a thickness of from more than 100 μm to 200 μm or less, and the meandering-preventive member has a hardness of from 15° or more to 70° or less. Also disclosed are a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus which have the electrophotographic endless belt as an intermediate transfer belt.
摘要:
An electrophotographic endless belt has a belt-like substrate, and a meandering-preventive member for preventing the electrophotographic endless belt from meandering and a position detection member for detecting a prescribed position of the electrophotographic endless belt. The meandering preventive member is, disposed on the inner-periphery side of one end portion of the belt-like substrate, and the position detection member is disposed on the outer-periphery side of the other end portion of the belt-like substrate. The meandering-preventive member and the position detection member are kept apart by a distance of from 200 mm to 250 mm in the width direction of the electrophotographic endless belt. A process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus employ such an electrophotographic endless belt as an intermediate transfer belt.

A transfer belt having a long service life and an image forming apparatus provided with the belt are provided. A serpentine motion preventing member (6b,) provided on at least one side portion of an inner circumferential surface of an endless belt body (6a, 61a) on which a toner image formed on an image bearing member is transferred on an outer circumference and retained by a retainer groove (R1) formed on a roller serpentine motion preventing member (6b, 61b) away from the belt body (6a, 61a). Accordingly, damage to the belt body (6a, 61a) is prevented.
