An electrophotographic endless metallic belt is provided with improved crack resistance to repeated bending and rubbing against a control member coming into contact therewith, thereby improving its durability. Each edge face of the metallic belt is so shaped as to have a ridge between an outer-surface edge and an inner-surface edge of the metallic belt. As a result, internal stress in the part of the belt that contacts the control member, as a result of contact therewith, is reduced. |
