<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotation body drive device capable of restraining change in the peripheral speed of a rotation body regardless of occurrence of an angle between a rotation body shaft line and the rotation center line of rotating force output from a drive source, and to provide an image forming apparatus having the rotation body drive device. <P>SOLUTION: The rotation body drive device includes the rotation body 1 and a drive source 100 for rotating the rotation body 1. In the rotation body drive device, the drive source 100 has a connecting means 200 to which the rotation body shaft 102 of the rotation body 1 is connected. Rotating force generated by the drive source 100 is directly transmitted to the connecting means 200. Also, when an angle occurs between the rotation center line of the rotating force and the rotation body shaft line, the rotating force is transmitted to the rotation body shaft 102 while rotating speed change is restrained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
