Mandrel with a retractable segment for mounting a belt photoreceptor on the mandrel

摘要

A photoreceptor apparatus constructed of a photoreceptor belt releasably attached to the surface of a cylindrical mandrel. The photoreceptor belt is preferably attached to the mandrel by means of a movable segment of the mandrel that is retracted into the mandrel to allow installation of the belt by reducing the effective circumference of the mandrel.
