<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent unevenness in speed of an image carrier by reducing frictional force of interval holding members exerted on a development roller, in a development device in which the development roller is disposed with a predetermined gap left between the image carrier and the development roller. <P>SOLUTION: The development device includes: the development roller 13 having rotary shafts 13b formed on both axial ends of a roller main body 13; and the interval holding members 14 that are freely rotatably mounted on the rotary shafts, abut on the image carrier, and hold an interval between the roller main body and the image carrier. Lubricant is applied between the rotary shaft 13b and each of the interval holding member 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
