Patent ID: 7369790

Claim:
A process cartridge that is attachable to and detachable from an image forming device, the process cartridge comprising: an image holding member; a paper dust removal member that removes paper dust from the image holding member; and a conductive member that is configured to conduct a voltage supplied from the image forming device to the paper dust removal member, wherein the paper dust removal member is attached to the conductive member by a two-sided tape, the two-sided tape having an electrically-conductive substrate electrically connected to the conductive member, the substrate being formed of non-wovenfabric and exhibiting electrical conductivity by containing moisture, wherein the two-sided tape has a first bonding layer covering a first surface of the substrate and bonding to the paper dust removal member and a second bonding layer covering a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface and bonding to the conductive member, and a tensile strength of the two-sided tape is greater than a shear adhesive strength between the second bonding layer and the conductive member, and wherein a shear adhesive strength between the first bonding layer and the paper dust removal member is greater than the shear adhesive strength between the second bonding layer and the conductive member.
