<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of reducing electric interference by reducing a potential difference between an abutting member abutted on a belt surface and a belt and capable of stably transferring a toner image to a recording medium. <P>SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus for transferring a toner image to a rotating belt 6 in a primary transfer part and secondarily transferring the transfer image to a recording medium in a secondary transfer part by applying bias, the secondary transfer part has a secondary transfer roller 9 abutted on the surface of the belt 6 and a backup roller 8 abutted on the rear face of the belt 6, a belt bending means arranged on the downstream side of the secondary transfer part has a reverse bending roller 10 abutted on the surface of the belt 6 to bend the belt 6 and an electrode roller 11 arranged oppositely to the reverse bending roller 10 and abutted on the rear face of the belt, and bias with the same polarity as bias applied to the secondary transfer part is applied to the reverse bending roller 10 or the electrode roller 11. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
