Structure for separating medium from image carrier
Abstract
Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 電子写真記録装置に於いてトナー像を転写し た媒体を像担持体から分離する構造に関し、高価格化を 招くこと無く確実に且つトナー像に乱れを生じること無 く媒体を分離することを目的とする。 【構成】 像担持体に間隙を介して対向し該像担持体の トナー像を媒体に転写する転写ユニットに備えられた像 担持体からの媒体分離構造であって、転写ユニットの外 筐の媒体排出側の端部に媒体に沿って近接する面部を突 設し、外筐をアース接続したもので、外筐の面部の先端 部は凹凸状の切り込みが列設し、更に凹凸状の切り込み が列設している面部の先端部は媒体との電気的接触を防 止する絶縁物の突起を複数備えて構成する。 (57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Regarding a structure for separating a medium on which a toner image has been transferred from an image carrier in an electrophotographic recording device, without increasing the price, reliably and without disturbing the toner image. The purpose is to separate the medium. A medium separating structure from the image carrier, which is provided in a transfer unit that faces the image carrier with a gap and transfers a toner image of the image carrier to a medium, the medium being an outer casing of the transfer unit. A surface portion that is close to the medium is projected at the end on the discharge side, and the outer casing is grounded.The front end portion of the surface portion of the outer casing has uneven cuts in a row, and the uneven cuts are further formed. The leading end of the arrayed surface portion is provided with a plurality of protrusions of an insulating material that prevent electrical contact with the medium.
