DEVELOPING ROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18501023 titled 'DEVELOPING ROLLER
The abstract describes a patent application for a developing roller with an electro-conductive shaft core and an elastic layer, including a base layer made of rubber and an outermost layer made of resin with through-holes.
- The developing roller has an electro-conductive shaft core and an elastic layer.
- The elastic layer consists of a rubber base layer and a resin outermost layer with through-holes.
- The ratio of non-through-hole portions in the outermost layer is 25% to 45% of the total surface area of the elastic layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in printers, copiers, and other imaging devices that require developing rollers. - It can also be applied in industrial printing and manufacturing processes that involve toner or ink transfer.
Problems Solved: - Provides improved durability and performance compared to traditional developing rollers. - Enhances image quality and consistency in printing and imaging applications.
Benefits: - Increased longevity and reliability of developing rollers. - Enhanced image quality and consistency in printing and imaging processes. - Potential cost savings due to reduced maintenance and replacement needs.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by manufacturers of printers, copiers, and other imaging devices. - It can also be integrated into industrial printing and manufacturing equipment for improved performance and efficiency.
Questions about Developing Roller Technology: 1. How does the composition of the elastic layer impact the performance of the developing roller? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this innovative developing roller technology?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay informed about the latest advancements in developing roller technology by following industry publications and attending relevant conferences and trade shows.
Original Abstract Submitted
A developing roller includes an electro-conductive shaft core and an elastic layer provided on an outer peripheral surface of the electro-conductive shaft core. The elastic layer includes a base layer formed of a rubber composition and an outermost layer formed on a surface of the base layer. The outermost layer is formed of a resin and is an incomplete film including a plurality of through-holes. A ratio of portions other than the through-holes of the outermost layer is 25% to 45% with respect to a total surface area of the elastic layer.
