PRODUCTION OF PHOTORECEPTOR DRUM AND EQUIPMENT THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve productivity per wiping tape-supplying roll without increasing the winding diameter and area for the exclusive use of a production equipment, by using the wiping tape supplying roll constituted in such a manner that a wiping tape is wound on the bias in double row on the circumference of a sufficiently long shaft. SOLUTION: A wiping tape supplying mechanism 1, a tension roller 2, guiding rollers 3 and 3', a photoreceptor drum rotating mechanism 4 and a wiping tape take-off device 5 are arranged so that their rotary shafts are in parallel with each other. Then, a photoreceptor drum is attached to the photoreceptor drum rotating mechanism 4 and the wiping tape 11 to be brought into contact with the photoreceptor drum is fitted to the wiping tape supplying mechanism 1, in a fixed supplying roll shape. In the wiping tape supplying roll, the wiping tape 11 is wound on the bias in double row on the circumference of the sufficiently long shaft. Thus, a long size wound supplying roll can be prepared without making the winding diameter so large.
