Patent ID: 7606515

Claim:
A photoreceptor drum for use in producing an image in conjunction with a reprographic device, the photoreceptor drum comprising: a cylinder flange joined to one end of said photoreceptor drum, said flange having a concentric shaft extending axially outwardly therefrom; and a cylindrical coupling member extending axially outwardly from said concentric shaft and comprising a flexible membrane encasing non-rigid material therein, wherein, during use, said non-rigid material substantially solidifies, and said membrane has a substantially non-flexible structure, wherein the photoreceptor drum is configured to be detachably connected to a driving coupling attached to the reprographic device, the driving coupling defines a triangular socket through a center thereof, and the cylindrical coupling member is configured to fit within said triangular socket, and further wherein said socket includes a truncated, axially outwardly extending conical pin through the center thereof, and said membrane of the cylindrical coupling member defines an axial hole through the center thereof for receiving said conical pin.
