Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rotatable feeding member for feeding a recording material includes a surface layer formed of a resin material, and a character portion including characters selected from alphabetical and numeral characters made visible by recessing the surface layer, wherein the characters are arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotatable feeding member. The characters are slanted with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rotatable feeding member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A rotatable feeding member for feeding a recording material, comprising: a surface layer formed of a resin material; and a character portion including characters selected from alphabetical and numeral characters made visible by recessing the surface layer, wherein the characters are arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotatable feeding member, and wherein the characters are slanted with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rotatable feeding member. 2. The rotatable feeding member according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination angle of the slanted characters with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotatable feeding member is 5° to 85°. 3. The rotatable feeding member according to claim 1 , wherein the surface layer is formed of a fluorine-containing resin material. 4. The rotatable feeding member according to claim 1 , wherein the surface layer has a surface resistivity of 10 12 Ω/square or less. 5. A rotatable fixing member for fixing a toner image on a recording material, comprising: a surface layer formed of a resin material; and a character portion including characters selected from alphabetical and numeral characters made visible by recessing the surface layer, wherein the characters are arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotatable fixing member, and wherein the characters are slanted with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rotatable fixing member. 6. The rotatable fixing member according to claim 5 , wherein an inclination angle of the slanted characters with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotatable fixing member is 5° to 85°. 7. The rotatable fixing member according to claim 5 , wherein the surface layer is formed of a fluorine-containing resin material. 8. The rotatable fixing member according to claim 5 , wherein the surface layer has a surface resistivity of 10 12 Ω/square or less. 9. The rotatable feeding member according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination angle of the slanted characters with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotatable feeding member is 10° to 80°. 10. The rotatable fixing member according to claim 5 , wherein an inclination angle of the slanted characters with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rotatable feeding member is 10° to 80°.
