Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain an always stable and high surface resistance and volume resistance values regardless of an atmospheric temp. and humidity by sealing the pores of an anodized aluminum film with a water repellent material. CONSTITUTION:The anodized aluminum film is deposited on the surface of the body of the dielectric member formed by molding an aluminum or aluminum alloy material to a drum shape, etc., and using such molding as a supporting part. This anodized film is sealed with the water repellent material. The anodized aluminum film contributes to the improvement in the wear resistance of the surface of the dielectric member but is porous and moisture in the using atmosphere is liable to infiltrate the pores. The surface resistance and volume resistance of the dielectric member decreases if the water infiltrates the pores and, therefore, the pores are embedded and sealed with the water repellent material. The infiltration of the moisture into the pores is prevented in this way, by which the decreases of the surface resistance and volume resistance of the dielectric member are prevented.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a dielectric drum (member) of an electrostatic copying machine has an aluminum pipe as a drum body, and a hard alumite film is formed on the circumferential surface of the drum body. Since this dielectric drum is incorporated into an electrostatic copying machine and needs to form an electrostatic latent image on its circumferential surface, it needs to have a surface resistance of about 1010 Ω or more and a volume resistivity of about 1010 Ωcm or more. . Moreover, this resistance value must be stable and not fluctuate.

There are some difficulties. For this reason, in conventional electrostatic copying machines, a drying device is installed to heat the dielectric drum, thereby drying the anodic oxide film and maintaining the required surface resistance and volume resistance. .
