A magnetic tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus which has a magnetic head, two tape winding reels, a first capstan and a first pressure roller opposed thereto, a second capstan and a second pressure roller opposed thereto, the pressure rollers being movable into contact with the capstans for transporting a magnetic tape. Two fixed motors are coaxial with and directly drive the respective capstans. A tape direction control is connected to the pressure rollers for selectively bring the first or second pressure roller into contact with the first or second capstan, respectively for selectively driving the tape in one or the other direction. A transmission is provided to which the tape direction control is connected for driving the tape winding reels under the control of the tape direction control means. The transmission has idlers for transmitting the rotary motion of the motors and is selectively engageable with one of the two winding reels and one of the two motors or with the other of the two winding reels and the other of the two motors, depending on the direction in which the tape is to be transported.

A photographic apparatus for producing a visible image on a photosensitivenit including a photosensitive film mounted on a film mount. The apparatus includes: a first member having a supplying station, an exposure station, a developing station and a fixing station provided on a principal surface thereof; two transfer means, one for transferring the unit from the supplying station to the exposure station and or for transferring the unit from the exposure station to the developing station, and from the developing station to the fixing station; and driving means for driving the two transfer means. A latent image of an original is formed on the film at the exposure station, the latent image is developed at the developing station, and the developed image is fixed at the fixing station. The feature of this apparatus is that the function of holding the unit and guiding it to each of said stations is achieved by the first member, and independently the function of transferring the unit is achieved by the two transfer means, whereby the transfer of the unit from one station to another can be carried out securely without fail, and the mechanism of the apparatus can be simplified.

A fixing device enabling the temperature of a heating element to be uniformly and stably maintained even if the heating element is eccentrically moved or vibrated. An opposed core (233) is so formed that a small diameter opposed core (2332) is fixedly inserted onto the center part of a core shaft (2331) and large diameter opposed cores (2333) are fixedly inserted onto both end parts of the core shaft (2331) so that the cross sectional area thereof at both ends in the lateral direction (both ends in the longitudinal direction) is larger than the cross sectional area thereof at the center part in the lateral direction. A fixing belt (210) is formed of a non-magnetic material and disposed between a core (232) and the opposed core (233). Thus, since a magnetic flux between the core (232) and the opposed core (233) is not almost varied and the fixing belt (210) allows the magnetic flux to pass therethrough and does not affect the flux, even if the fixing belt (210) is rotated and a distance between the core (232) and the fixing belt (210) is varied, the temperature of the fixing belt (210) can be uniformly and stably maintained.

A release layer, which contains fluoropolymers is applied on a die surface of a shaping die, and is baked. An elastic layer is applied onto the external surface of the release layer and is baked. A supporting layer containing heat-resistant synthetic resin is applied onto the external surface of the elastic layer, and is dried. The dried supporting layer is polished to remove the unevenness, and the supporting layer is baked. The release layer, the elastic layer and the supporting layer are turned inside out to be removed from the die surface. The evenness of the fixing belt is improved, and the pressure unevenness is reduced.

An image forming apparatus capable of removing a toner remaining on the transfer belt (toner supporting member) with a simple configuration. The image forming apparatus includes an intermediate transfer belt that moves with charged toner supported on the surface thereof; a cleaner roller that is rotated while being pressed onto the intermediate transfer belt; a power source for supplying potential for electrically attracting the toner to the cleaner roller from the intermediate transfer belt; and a pretreatment roller that is pressed onto the intermediate transfer belt upstream from the cleaner roller in the moving direction of the intermediate transfer belt.

A color image forming apparatus is provided, having a plurality of image forming units; a carriage for retaining and rotating the plurality of image forming units so as to move the image forming units between an image forming position and a waiting position; an intermediate transfer belt for successive transfer and superposition of toner images of various colors from a photosensitive drum of the image forming units located at the image forming position so as to form a color toner image; and a secondary transfer roller for transferring the color toner image on the intermediate transfer belt onto recording paper. The only rollers support the intermediate transfer belt are a driving roller, a following roller, a primary transfer roller and a backup roller, and the primary transfer roller and the backup roller are arranged adjacent to the driving roller.

The average friction factor between the contact surfaces of a drive roller and an intermediate transfer belt is set to not more than 0.45 and not less than 0.1, and before the primary transfer of the toner image of the last color is finished, a cleaning blade is separated from or comes into contact with the intermediate transfer belt with the drive roller as a backup member. The peripheral length of a photoconductor is greater by not more than 10% than the value obtained by dividing the length on a transfer member necessary for a predetermined image length by an integer n which is not less than 3 and not more than 9, and the ratio between the numbers of rotations of the transfer member and the photoconductor is 1:n.

A color image forming apparatus having a plurality of image forming units with each unit having a developing device and a photoconductive drum with a driven coupling device. A conveying device switches the plurality of image forming units by moving them successively between an image forming position and a waiting position. A photoconductive drum driving device removably engages the driven coupling device of the image forming unit that is positioned in the image forming position and having one driving coupling device for coaxially rotating the photoconductive drum of the image forming unit positioned in the image forming position together as one body. The photoconductive drum positioned in the image forming position is in contact with a transfer device wherein a peripheral velocity of either the photoconductive drum or the transfer device during use is higher than the a peripheral velocity of the other.
