ABSTRACT:
A hollow cylinder supporting end flange including a disk shaped member having a circular periphery and a coil spring having a major plane substantially parallel to the major plane of the disk shaped member, an exposed arcuate outer periphery having a diameter larger than the inside diameter of the hollow cylinder, an outer exposed end and an inner end, the inner end comprising a section secured to the end flange and the exposed arcuate outer periphery of the coil spring being adjacent the circular periphery of the disk shaped member for engagement with a hollow cylindrical member upon insertion of the coil spring into the hollow cylindrical member. This end flange may be utilized as a component of an assembly including a hollow cylindrical electrostatographic imaging member having a circular cross section and an inner surface, and an end flange secured to at least one end of the hollow cylindrical member by a partially wound coil spring, the spring having an inner end and an outer end, the inner end being secured to the end flange and the outer end having an exposed arcuate outer surface in frictional contact with the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical member. A process for fabricating this assembly is also disclosed.
