Flange for xerographic photoreceptor

Description

FIG. 1 is a front view of a flange for xerographic photoreceptor according to our new design;

FIG. 2 is a rear view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a left side view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a right side view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a top view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a right side view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1, including cross-section indicia;

FIG. 8 is a cross-section view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1, taken along line 8-8 of FIG. 7;

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the flange for xerographic photoreceptor of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 10 is a front view thereof, shown at a reduced scale and in an alternate environment of use.

The evenly-spaced broken lines depict environmental subject matter and the unevenly-spaced broken line in FIG. 8 illustrates a boundary of the claimed design. None of the broken lines form any part of the claimed design.

The ornamental design of the present disclosure is a flange that can be fitted in an open end of a xerographic photoreceptor (also called a photoconductor drum). The xerographic photoreceptor can be incorporated in a process cartridge to be removably installed in electro-photographic application equipment, such as a copying machine, etc., and receives a rotational driving force from an apparatus main body. The xerographic photoreceptor is rotated by the rotational driving force to be transmitted to the flange to print a latent image of the xerographic photoreceptor on print media.

Claims
