IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING DISCHARGE UNIT

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a discharge unit, a discharge roller, a pressing member, and a reinforcing frame. The discharge unit includes a guide member that forms a discharge path that guides a sheet member to a sheet discharge port. The discharge roller discharges the sheet member to outside from the sheet discharge port. The pressing member projects from the guide member toward the discharge path, and contacts and presses the sheet member that is passing through the discharge path. The reinforcing frame, formed from a metal plate material, is made conductive with a reference potential portion of the apparatus main body and reinforces the discharge unit by being, together with the discharge unit, fixed to the apparatus main body in a state of covering a part of the guide member to which the pressing member is attached.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a discharge unit including a guide member that forms a discharge path that guides a sheet member after image formation to a sheet discharge port, the discharge unit being attached to an apparatus main body; a discharge roller disposed in a vicinity of the sheet discharge port of the discharge unit, and configured to discharge the sheet member in the discharge path to outside from the sheet discharge port; a pressing member attached to the guide member more in an upstream side than the sheet discharge port in a sheet member discharge direction, the pressing member projecting from the guide member toward the discharge path and configured to contact and press the sheet member that is passing through the discharge path; and a reinforcing frame formed from a metal plate material, made conductive with a reference potential portion of the apparatus main body, and configured to reinforce the discharge unit by being, together with the discharge unit, fixed to the apparatus main body in a state of covering a part of the guide member to which the pressing member is attached.
