摘要:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a latent image forming device for forming a latent image on an image carrier and a developing device for developing the latent image with toner to thereby form a corresponding toner image. The surface of an intermediate image transfer body is movable and includes an high-resistance layer having a volume resistivity of 1010 &OHgr;·cm or above. A primary image transferring device transfers the toner image from the image carrier to the intermediate image transfer body. Secondary image transferring device transfers the toner image from the intermediate image transfer body to a sheet. A polarization uniforming device uniforms, at the beginning of an image forming operation, polarization left in the high-resistance layer while preserving the polarity of the polarization after the surface of the intermediate image transfer body has started moving, but before the toner image is transferred from the image carrier to the secondary image transfer body.

To improve assembly precision of a fuel cell by improving a sealing property. A first gasket 12 is integrally formed with a first gas diffusion layer 11 and a second gasket 14 is integrally formed with a second gas diffusion layer 13, and a hinge portion 15 connects the first gasket 12 to the second gasket 14. The gas diffusion layer incorporated gasket sandwiches a membrane-electrode from both sides in the thickness direction. A seal protrusion 12c is formed in a surface of the first gasket 12 or the second gasket 14 and comes into close contact with the membrane-electrode.

A sealing structure of a fuel cell has a first gasket made of an elastomer and provided integrally on a separator, and a second gasket made of an elastomer and provided integrally on other separator. A membrane-electrode assembly is sandwiched or pinched by the first and second gaskets. The first gasket has a main lip in which a top portion brought into close contact with the membrane-electrode assembly is formed flat. The second gasket has a flat seal portion and a sub lip protruding from this flat seal portion at a position opposing the main lip. The flat seal portion and the sub lip are brought into close contact with the membrane-electrode assembly. The width of the top portion of the main lip is narrower than the width of the flat seal portion, and larger than the width of the sub lip.

In order to inexpensively provide gaskets which have good sealing performance, and which fulfill various applications by simply stamping out sheet-like gaskets in accordance with specifications, a gasket is obtained by integrally forming, with a sheet-like base material, a gasket part made of a rubber-like elastic material on at least one surface of the base material, said gasket part being composed of continuous protrusions provided with a fixed pattern. The sheet-like gasket parts produced in this manner are capable of inexpensively providing gaskets which fulfill various applications by simply stamping out the sheet-like gasket parts in accordance with various specifications.
