<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrical contact structure where an elastic deformation area is sufficiently taken and a contact failure can be prevented, and to provide an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: In the electrical contact structure A provided with a contact member 100 in which one end part 100A is fixed to an electrically grounded frame 120, the other end part 100B elastically deformed with one end part 100A as a starting point is brought into contact with the end part of a rotary shaft 110 freely rotatably supported around the shaft in an axial direction so as to take an electrical contact, a turning regulation part 140 regulating the turning of the other end part 100B with one end part 100A along a plane orthogonal to the axial direction as the center while achieving the elastic deformation in the axial direction with one end part 100A as a starting point is provided to the space of the elastically deformed area W of the contact member 100 from the contact position of one end part 100A to the fixing position of the other end part 100B. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
