<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooled body in which a cooling effect can be improved at a low cost, and which is excellent in handleability. <P>SOLUTION: A cooled body 4 according to the present invention is provided in the body of an image forming apparatus, comes into contact with a heat receiving part 31 of a cooling device, and is cooled by a cooling medium which circulates between the heat receiving part 31 and a heat radiating part. A contact part of the cooled body 4 which comes into contact with the heat receiving part 31 is constituted by a flexible member 50. Also, in the constitution in which the flexible member 50 is disposed at the portion coming into contact with a developer G, the outermost surface layer at least in the developer side of the flexible member 50 is preferably formed as a developer non-compatible layer which does not dissolve the developer even if it comes into contact with the developer G. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
