PURPOSE:To form a conductive circuit of a stable and good conductive state without damaging the surface of a conductive layer by constituting one of conductive members by mixing plural kinds of conductive fine wires of different characteristics and allowing the same to contact with the other conductive member. CONSTITUTION:The 1st conductive member 1 is constituted in a brush shape and consists of a base frame 13 made of aluminum allowy or the like, a large number of fine metallic wires 15 tufted in the frame 13, and a large number of carbon fibers 17. The leading end parts shaped to an arc shape are brought in abutment on the conductive layer surface 21a of a belt-like photoreceptor 1 in such a way as to conform to the curvature of a driven roller 2, and during the turning of said photoreceptor 1, the leading end parts are brought in sliding contact with the surface 21a of the photoreceptor 1 while deflecting slightly. Thereby, the breakage and the like of the fibers are prevented without damaging the conductive layer surface and the conductive circuit of a stable and good conductive state is formed. |
