<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endless belt for an electrophotographic apparatus, the belt showing improved durability by preventing peeling or flexure cracks of a material that constitutes a base layer. <P>SOLUTION: A cylindrical endless belt 10 includes a base layer 12 formed of a composition containing an organic polymer. In the base layer 12, a reinforcing core material 14 comprising fiber is arranged along a circumferential direction in a spiral pattern from one end 12a to the other end 12b of the cylinder. The base layer 12 is configured to be an integral object of the composition containing the organic polymer without forming a seam in a thickness direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
