Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a fixing roller, comprising steps of:press-fitting flanges into a roller body, shaped in a hollow cylinder, from each of both end openings of said roller body with putting elastic members between each of said flanges and either an inner or an outer circumferential surface of said roller body; installing said roller body integrated with said flanges in a shaping mold, in such a manner that said elastic members press-contact either said inner or said outer circumferential surface of said roller body so as to substantially align a center axis of said roller body with that of said shaping mold, wherein said roller body is supported only by said elastic-members; injecting a melted rubber into a space between said roller body and said shaping mold from an injection opening; and curing said melted rubber injected into said space.
