Image carrier and damping member therefor

摘要

A damping member (33) is fitted in the hollow cylindrical core of a photoconductive drum (25). The damping member is implemented as a hollow cylinder having one end thereof closed by an end wall (33a). A jig (41) is inserted into the damping member and caused to insert the damping member into the drum by pressing the end wall. The damping member is therefore easily fitted in the drum. The damping member is formed of an elastic material for damping vibration.
