PURPOSE: To provide the resin flange for an electrophotographic sensitive body which is small in resistance at the time of fitting the flange to the end of the base body of the photosensitive body and can easily ground the base body of the photosensitive body via the flange when mounted to an electrophotography applying device.
CONSTITUTION: A conducive member 3 is embedded into this resin flange in such a manner that one end thereof is projected and the front end 4 thereof bites the base body of the photosensitive body 9 so as to bring both of the resin flange 1 and the end of the base body into electrical contact with each other within the contact plane when the resin flange is fitted into the end of the base body. Further, the conducive member 3 is embedded into the flange hole 5 of the resin flange 1 by exposing a part thereof in this hole in such a manner that the resin flange 1 and a supporting shaft 10 as the photosensitive body supporting part in the device come into electrical contact with each other when the photosensitive body 9 is mounted to the device via the resin flange 1.
