<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor and a method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor, by which problems of dripping a coating film or irregularity in coating that occurs in the process of forming a photosensitive layer of an electrophotographic photoreceptor by an immersion coating can be effectively suppressed and a uniform coating film can be formed. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor includes means 10 of gripping a cylindrical coating object 9 to be vertically moved and a coating tank 1 housing a coating liquid 2, and carries out immersing the cylindrical coating object 9 in the coating liquid 2 housed in the coating tank 1 and then pulling up the object to form a coating film on the surface of the cylindrical coating object 9. The apparatus for manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a cap 3 above the coating tank 1, the cap having an opening 4 to allow the cylindrical coating object 9 to pass through, and a hood 5 having a larger cross-sectional area than the opening 4, disposed on the cap 3 as in contact with the cap 3 so as to enclose the periphery of the opening 4. An upper part of the hood 5 is formed into a mesh, while a lower part is not formed into a mesh. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
