Patent ID: 8187404

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a plate-shaped peeling member for peeling paper from a roll or a belt of an electrophotographic apparatus, with a leading end of said plate-shaped peeling member in contact with or adjacent to said roller or said belt, comprising: a thin metal plate having one main surface and an other main surface; and an adhesive agent-applied resin sheet adhered to said thin metal plate by wrapping said resin sheet around leading edge of said thin metal plate; said method comprising the steps of: sticking the adhesive agent-applied resin sheet to said one main surface of a said thin metal plate without puling both end portions of said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet in a longitudinal direction thereof, with an unstuck portion left on said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet in a widthwise direction thereof and said adhesive agent applied resin sheet being pressurized in a longitudinal direction thereof; temporarily sticking said unstuck portion left on said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet in said widthwise direction thereof to said other main surface thereof to form a temporarily stuck portion by folding back said unstuck portion along a leading edge of said thin metal plate toward said other main surface thereof without pulling said both end portions of said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet in said longitudinal direction thereof; and fixing said temporarily stuck portion of said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet to said other main surface of said thin metal plate, while said temporarily stuck portion is being pressurized in said longitudinal direction of said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet from approximately a center of said temporarily sticking step, while said unstuck portion of said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet being wrapped around said leading edge of said thin metal plate toward said other main surface, said adhesive agent-applied resin sheet is temporarily stuck to said other main surface of said thin metal plate by using a roller having a shaft parallel with a longitudinal direction of said thin metal plate.
