(Prior art and its problems) Basically, the fixing mechanism in a PPC copying machine is to pass the toner transferred onto the paper between a heated fixing roll and an elastic pressure roll such as a rubber roll while applying heat. It consists in crimping and baking. In such a mechanism, when a paper surface with toner attached passes between a heated fixing roll and an elastic pressure roll, the paper itself adheres to the roll and wraps around the roll, preventing complete printing. Problems such as toner transferred to the copy paper adheres to the fixing roll resulting in double copies of images (so-called offset phenomenon) and equipment failures occur. Therefore, various studies have been made in the past regarding this point, but the final method has been to apply a mold release agent to the fixing roll and the elastic roll for mold release.

However, it is very difficult to apply this mold release agent evenly and in the right amount to the roll, and if too much mold release agent is used, the paper surface becomes stained or discolored, and at the same time, the mold release agent is consumed rapidly. It takes time and effort to lubricate the roll, and too much mold release agent can solidify on the roll surface, causing unexpected breakdowns. Furthermore, if the amount of release agent is too small, the above-mentioned offset phenomenon will naturally occur, and the release properties of the roll surface will deteriorate, causing the paper to wrap around the roll. Incidentally, heat-resistant oil such as silicone oil is mainly used as a mold release agent.

In the above case, since the porous tube 7 is soft, it is supported by the support 1 (FIG. 1) or 4 (FIG. 2). Further, in the porous tube, fluororubber or other material is coated to close the pores other than the necessary pores which are the leaching part of the mold release agent. This is to make the discharge amount of the mold release agent a predetermined amount and uniform.

(Structure of the present invention) In view of this point, the present invention is intended to perform this more simply. The release agent applicator for a copying machine of the present invention uses a divided support body forming a lumen with an opening in which the width A of the opening is smaller than the maximum width B of the lumen part, and combines the supports. A porous tube of tetrafluoroethylene resin with both ends sealed is held in the inner cavity with the part that will become the release agent exudation part protruding from the opening, and the mold release agent is made to protrude from the opening of the porous tube. It is characterized in that the pores in the portion other than the portion that becomes the exudation portion are closed by contact between the porous tube and the inner wall of the support body.

That is, the present invention closes the pores by abutting and supporting a portion of a porous polytetrafluoroethylene resin tube whose both ends are sealed, other than the part from which the mold release agent leaches out, with a support. For this reason, the support is divided and used by combining them, but in its cross section, the opening width from which the release agent exudation part of the porous tube protrudes is wider than the maximum width of the inner cavity that holds the porous tube. It is small.
