Vibration insulating member fitting method, vibration insulating member fitting device, vibration insulating member, vibration insulating member recovering method, and vibration insulating member recovering device

摘要

A vibration insulating member fitting method includes the steps of: positioning and wrapping a sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 around a shaft 3 having an air suction/exhaust portion 5; holding the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 onto the shaft 3 by air suction; and inserting the shaft 3 that sucks the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 by the air suction into a hollow cylinder 13 of a photosensitive drum 1 to stop the air suction, causing the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 to be tightly fitted onto the inner wall surface of the photosensitive drum 1 by a restoring force of the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2. A vibration insulating member recovering method includes the steps of: inserting a shaft 3 having an air suction portion into a sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 fitted on an inner wall surface of a hollow cylinder 13 of a photosensitive drum 1; starting air suction to suck and hold the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 onto the shaft 3; detaching the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 from the inner wall surface of the hollow cylinder 13 of the photosensitive drum 1; and taking the shaft 3 out of the hollow cylinder 13 of the photosensitive drum 1, with the sheet-like vibration insulating member 2 being sucked and held on the shaft 3.
