PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for preventing a failure caused by the exposure of a transmission mechanism to the outside of a frame.SOLUTION: A color printer 1 includes rail members 41F and 41R which are attached to frames 40F and 40R and an intermediate transfer device 42 which is attachably/detachably supported by the rail members 41F and 41R. The intermediate transfer device 42 includes an intermediate transfer belt 71 which is rotationally driven by a driving motor 62 and carries a toner image, a cleaning roller 76 which is rotationally driven by the driving motor 62 and removes toner remaining on the intermediate transfer belt 71, a first transmission mechanism 63 which transmits the driving force of the driving motor 62 to the intermediate transfer belt 71, and a second transmission mechanism 64 which transmits the driving force of the driving motor 62 to the cleaning roller 76. The first transmission mechanism 63 and the second transmission mechanism 64 are disposed between the frame 40R and the rail member 41R.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 |
