In the present invention, a filler element 20 formed of a viscoelastic material with a compressive residual strain of 10% or less and a 25% compressive load of 1 kg/cm2, having a specific shape, is mounted in a drum-shaped electrophotographic photosensitive body (photosensitive drum) 10. The filler element 20 has a sufficient restoring force when deformed, so that it can be fixed to position without an adhesive. Also, the filler element 20 is not moved by vibration or shock during repeated use, and good anti-vibration effect can be maintained.

A vibration insulating member fitting method includes the steps of: positioning and wrapping a sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 around a shaft 3 having an air suction/exhaust portion 5; holding the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 onto the shaft 3 by air suction; and inserting the shaft 3 that sucks the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 by the air suction into a hollow cylinder 13 of a photosensitive drum 1 to stop the air suction, causing the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 to be tightly fitted onto the inner wall surface of the photosensitive drum 1 by a restoring force of the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2. A vibration insulating member recovering method includes the steps of: inserting a shaft 3 having an air suction portion into a sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 fitted on an inner wall surface of a hollow cylinder 13 of a photosensitive drum 1; starting air suction to suck and hold the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 onto the shaft 3; detaching the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 from the inner wall surface of the hollow cylinder 13 of the photosensitive drum 1; and taking the shaft 3 out of the hollow cylinder 13 of the photosensitive drum 1, with the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 being sucked and held on the shaft 3.

摘要:
It is an object of the invention to inspect defects of a film formed on a relatively rough surface of a substrate by the light interference method. A substrate on which a film is formed is irradiated with light of a longer wavelength than the surface roughness Rmax or Rz of the substrate to obtain interference fringes to inspect defects of the film formed on the substrate. Especially, it is preferable that when the surface roughness Rmax or Rz is 0.5 &mgr;m or more, the substrate is irradiated with light of a wavelength beyond a little longer wavelength than the surface roughness Rmax or Rz. The surface of the substrate is subjected to a cutting process. Specifically, it is possible to inspect defects of the electric charge generation layer, electric charge transport layer, or undercoat layer of an electrophotographic photoreceptor. This photoreceptor is mounted in a digital copier or printer. Further, monochromatic light is preferably applied. Alternatively, indirect light of the light reflected from a reflector plate or the light diffused by a diffusing plate is preferably applied.

An electrophotographic photosensitive element is provided with a photosensitive layer containing a charge generating substance and a charge transport substance on a conductive support. X-type metal-free phthalocyanine and a disazo compound are contained as a charge generating substance. With the photosensitive element, sufficient sensitivity is achieved so as to cause virtually no problem, and it is possible to reduce possibility of causing an instable electrostatic property such as a reduction in a charge potential and an increase in a remained potential, even in the case of frequent reuse.

An method for producing an electrophotographic proreceptor includes a first coating step of applying a coating liquid containing a sublimable antioxidant and a photoconductive substance, onto a conductive substrate to form a first coating film thereon, a first drying step of drying the formed first coating film by heating to form a first photosensitive layer, a second coating step of applying the coating liquid used in the first coating step, onto the first photosensitive layer to form a second coating film, and a second drying step of drying the formed second coating film by heating to form a second photosensitive layer. In the second drying step, the drying condition is made to differ from the drying condition in the first drying step so that a degree of sublimation of the antioxidant in the second drying step is lower than that of sublimation of the antioxidant in the first drying step.
