ABSTRACT:
An image support apparatus including a pair of rotatable disk shaped members, a cylindrical member supported and fixed at both ends by the pair of disk shaped members, a flexible image supporter shaped like a thin cylinder and formed with a photosensitive layer at the outer peripheral surface, support members being disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member for supporting the image supporter, a charge roller abutting the outer peripheral surface of the image supporter for uniformly charging the outer peripheral surface, and a frame. A distance between a portion of the image supporter supported by the support member and an end of the charge roller is set to a length to prevent the image supporter, which is bent as the charge roller abuts the image supporter, from becoming permanently deformed.
