<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus, capable of more surely realizing cost reduction and space saving which result from sharing a motor among a plurality of devices. <P>SOLUTION: One common driving motor 201 is shared among four suction motors for K, C, M, and Y omitted in Figure, which are driven by the rotations of supply pulleys 203K, C, M, and Y for K, C, M, and Y, and a driving force from the common drive motor 201 is transmitted to these suction motors respectively in different periods. One common driving motor 201 is shared among four K, C, M, and Y bottle parts omitted in Figure, which are driven by a fully toothed gear 213K for K and partial toothed gears 213C, M, and Y for C, M, and Y, and the driving force from the common drive motor 201 is transmitted to these bottle parts in different periods. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
