<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet discharge roller including a structure that does not deteriorate assembly efficiency while maintaining sufficient rigidity increasing function to the discharge sheet, and to provide an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: Each of the rigidity increasing portions 92A, 92B include a plurality of plate members 921, 922 axially spaced from each other by a predetermined distance, and the plurality of plate members 921, 922 have forms each obtained by circumferentially dividing a circular plate, respectively, and are arranged in positions circumferentially shifted from each other by 180 degrees, respectively. Thus, an outer diameter of the rigidity increasing portions 92A, 92B is formed so that the outer diameter has a substantially circular form larger than a transfer roller 93 when viewed in the axial direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
