An image-forming apparatus includes a transfer roller having a recessed portion in a circumferential surface; a driving portion for rotatably driving the transfer roller; an image carrier belt for carrying an image; a tension roller around which the image carrier belt is wound for making contact with the transfer roller interposed by the image carrier belt; a biasing portion for biasing the tension roller towards the transfer roller; and a position-regulating portion that, when the transfer roller rotates and the transfer roller and the image carrier belt make contact, causes a position to be maintained at which the image carrier belt wound around the tension roller intersects a virtual circumferential surface that is an extension of the circumferential surface of the transfer roller into the recessed portion. |
