Before the layer of conductive adhesive hardens, a plurality of bristles is embedded vertically into the smooth material made of a layer of conductive adhesive, thus forming a bristle-embedded layer upon the periphery of the smooth material. Thereafter, the conductive adhesive to become the smooth material is hardened. Alternately, a metal shaft with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the tube is inserted into the interior of the conductive tube, the tube is heated to cause heat shrinkage, thus tightly adhering the tube to the metal shaft, so that the metal shaft maintains the cylindrical shape of the tube. After the tube is coated with conductive adhesive, it is spirally wrapped with conductive brush cloth cut into strips. At this time, the tube is kept in a cylindrical shape, so the brush cloth is also kept wrapped in a cylindrical shape. The tube is removed from the metal shaft. The periphery of a rotating shaft is coated with elastic material, and the elastic material is pressed into the inside of the tube. Thus, as the charging brush rotates, the brushes of the charging brush are pressed against the contact face of the elastic foam material. At this time, the small holes in the contact face of the elastic foam material remove any developer or other fouling material adhering to the plurality of brushes of the charging brush, and the developer or other fouling material thus removed is transferred to the small holes in the contact face, and thus the bristles of the charging brush are cleaned from near their bases. Continuing on, the bristles of the charging brush are pressed against the smooth surface of the slide plate, thus aligning the bristles of the charging brush in the circumferential direction.
