ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC ROLLER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18296646 Titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC ROLLER, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electrophotographic roller, which is a component used in printing and copying machines. This roller consists of a substrate (a base material) and a foam layer on its outer surface. The foam layer is made up of cells that are open on the outer surface. The important characteristic of this foam layer is its zero-point charge, which is a measure of its electrical properties. The foam layer must have a zero-point charge of 40 μC/g or higher, as determined using a standard carrier.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electrophotographic roller comprising a substrate and a foam layer on an outer peripheral surface of the substrate, the foam layer constituting an outer surface of the electrophotographic roller, the foam layer comprising cells each of which opens on the outer surface, and the foam layer having a zero-point charge measured using a standard carrier of 40 μC/g or more.
