Electrode and image forming apparatus

摘要

An electrode for an image forming apparatus, the electrode including: an elastically deformable spring portion including a wire which is spirally wound and formed in a tube shape; an electrical contact portion provided continuously to the spring portion at one side in an axial direction of the spring portion, including the wire which is wound at least twice, and formed in an annular shape, where a center axis of the annular shape extends in an intersecting direction which intersects with the axial direction of the spring portion; and an extending portion provided continuously to the electrical contact portion and extending at least in the intersecting direction.

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an electrode, including:
an elastically deformable spring portion including a wire which is spirally wound and formed in a tube shape;an electrical contact portion provided continuously to the spring portion at one side in an axial direction of the spring portion, including the wire which is wound at least twice, and formed in an annular shape, where a center axis of the annular shape extends in an intersecting direction which is parallel to the center axis of the annular shape, and is perpendicular to and intersects with the axial direction of the spring portion; andan extending portion provided continuously to the electrical contact portion and extending at least in the intersecting direction, a frame supporting the electrode, wherein the frame has an opening through which the electrical contact portion is configured to be inserted, and wherein the electrical contact portion is inserted into the opening, and at least a portion of the electrical contact portion is disposed to protrude through the opening toward the one side in the axial direction than the frame.
