Abstract
Abstract An electrophotographic sensitive member comprises of a flexible web having a photosensitive layer and provided with a longitudinally uni-directionally heat contractible insulating connector sheet of a predetermined length extending from one end thereof. In attaching the sensitive member over an endless support, the free end of the sensitive member is adhered to the free end of the connector sheet and the connector sheet is contracted to tightly embrace the member on the endless support upon the application of heat.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
An electrophotographic sensitive member comprising a longitudinally extending flexible first web including a substrate provided with an electrically conducting layer and a photoconductive layer superimposed on said electrically conducting layer, and a connecting member extending longitudinally from an end of said first web and including an electrically insulating molecularly longitudinally stretch oriented, flexible, polymeric resin second web which is unidirectionally longitudinally heat contractible.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
63 words
An electrophotographic sensitive member comprising a longitudinally extending flexible first web including a substrate provided with an electrically conducting layer and a photoconductive layer superimposed on said electrically conducting layer, and a connecting member extending longitudinally from an end of said first web and including an electrically insulating molecularly longitudinally stretch oriented, flexible, polymeric resin second web which is unidirectionally longitudinally heat contractible.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The electrophotographic sensitive member of claim 1 wherein said first and second webs are of rectangular configuration and substantially co-extensive in width.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The electrophotographic sensitive member of claim 1 including means for joining the free ends of said webs to form an endless loop.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The electrophotographic sensitive member of claim 1 including layers of an adhesive agent located along the underfaces of the free outer end borders of said webs.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
An electrophotographic sensitive member comprising a flexible first web including a substrate having an electrically conductive layer with a photoconductive layer thereon and a uni-directionally longitudinally heat contractible second web of a predetermined length extending longitudinally from an end of said first web and formed of an electrically insulating molecularly longitudinally stretch oriented polymeric resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
An electrophotographic sensitive member comprising a flexible first web including a substrate having an electrically conductive layer with a photoconductive layer thereon and a uni-directionally longitudinally heat contractible second web of a predetermined length extending longitudinally from an end of said first web and formed of an electrically insulating molecularly longitudinally stretch oriented polymeric resin.
