PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which a transfer member is brought into stable contact with a moving belt and a transfer electric field is stabilized. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a photoreceptor drum 12 carrying toner images; a belt 31 which is moved in contact with the drum 12; and transfer means 100 disposed oppositely to the drums 12 via the belt 31. Each transfer means 100 has: a sheet member 115; an elastic body 110 disposed oppositely to the drum 12 and pressing the sheet member 115 against the belt 31; and a sheet support member 114 supporting the sheet member 115. The place where the support member 114 supports the sheet member 115 is located upstream of the elastic body 110 in the moving direction of the belt 31. The place where the support member 114 supports the sheet member 115 is separated from the belt 31. The sheet member 115 enters an area between the belt 31 and elastic body 110 at an angle from the place where it is supported by the support member 114. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
