摘要

An image carrier device includes a flexible cylindrical thin image carrier (110), a support member (120, 130) for supporting both ends of said image carrier (110) and a cylindrical member (140) having an outer diameter smaller than an inner diameter of said image carrier (110), which is disposed inside of said image carrier (110), wherein said cylindrical member (140) is disposed at an interval smaller than an allowable deformation between an outer peripheral surface of said cylindrical member (140) and an inner peripheral surface of said image carrier (110). <IMAGE>
