<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive roller which is free from hardness nonuniformity and resistance nonuniformity by controlling the deformation of the end part of a cylindrical rubber composition by eliminating temperature nonuniformity in the initial temperature increasing process of a process for vulcanizing/foaming the cylindrical rubber composition. <P>SOLUTION: A heating/foaming auxiliary jig used when the cylindrical rubber composition is heated/foamed in a heating furnace has a hollow of a size to be able to house the entire rubber composition, and voids are formed approximately uniformly in the outer wall of the auxiliary jig. The opening percentage of the voids to the total area of the surface of the outer wall is 10-80%. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
