ABSTRACT:
A seamed flexible imaging member and a method of constructing a flexible imaging sheet is disclosed. The method of constructing a flexible imaging sheet comprises the steps overlapping and forming. In the step of overlapping, a first marginal end region and a second marginal end region of the sheet are overlapped. In the forming step, a surface is formed integral with one end of the sheet and having at least one groove therein. The surface secures the first marginal end region and the second marginal end region to one another by a seam. The seamed flexible imaging member comprises a sheet having opposed marginal end regions. The marginal end regions of the sheet are secured to one another by a material which may include a portion of the sheet, a separate securing material or both. The material defines a surface having at least one groove therein with one end of the surface being integral with one end of the sheet. The groove in the surface minimizes stress on the sheet, particularly stress caused by the flexible imaging member bending over at least one small diameter roller of a belt module within an electrophotographic imaging apparatus.
