发明名称 Image forming apparatus having a conveying path formation member including through holes
摘要 An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a transfer-receiving member conveyed from a first side to a second side, and a fixing device disposed on a side of the image forming unit closer to the second side, and configured to fix the image formed on the transfer-receiving member. A conveying path formation member is configured to form a conveying path along which the transfer-receiving member is conveyed from the image forming unit to the fixing device. The conveying path formation member includes a first member having first through holes in the up-down direction, and a second member having second through holes in the up-down direction, wherein the second member faces the first member such that the second through holes do not overlap the first through holes when projected in the up-down direction.

主权项 1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: an apparatus main body; an image forming unit provided in the apparatus main body and configured to form an image on a transfer-receiving member while conveying the transfer-receiving member from a first side to a second side; a fixing device disposed to be spaced apart from the image forming unit in the apparatus main body and on a side of the image forming unit closer to the second side, and configured to fix the image formed on the transfer-receiving member; a first conveying path formation member, disposed between the image forming unit and the fixing device in the apparatus main body, and configured to form a first conveying path along which the transfer-receiving member is conveyed from the image forming unit to the fixing device, wherein the first conveying path formation member includes: a first member having first through holes in an up-down direction, anda second member having second through holes in the up-down direction, and disposed to be spaced above the first member and to face the first member,wherein the second member faces the first member such that the second through holes do not overlap the first through holes when projected in the up-down direction; and a second conveying path formation member disposed below the image forming unit, the first conveying path formation member and the fixing device, and configured to form a second conveying path along which the transfer-receiving member having an image fixed thereto is conveyed, wherein the second conveying path formation member includes: a third member having at least one third through hole in the up-down direction,wherein the at least one third through hole is arranged such that it overlaps with at least one first through hole when projected in the up-down direction.
