PURPOSE:To carry out image transfer well with no need of mechanical precision by installing a transfer means consisting of a conductive brush member or a conductive plate-like member. CONSTITUTION:A transfer apparatus is composed of a supporting part 15a made of, for example, a conductive metal and a brush-like transfer brush 15b obtained by bundling, in a plate shape, conductive fibers in proper density by the supporting part 15a. The transfer brush 15b is pressed to a photoconductor 1 by a spring 24 installed at the end part of the supporting part 15a while having a rotary axis 15d as a supporting point. The pressing pressure is adjusted by forcing a part of the brush supporting part 15a to hit a cam 25. When transport abnormality of a transfer object to be conveyed by a transfer object conveying means is detected, the cam 25 is rotated and the extrusion part of the cam 25 pushes % the cam touching part to separate the transfer brush 15b from the photoconductor 1. Consequently, a transfer apparatus can be obtained, while having a simple structure, producing little ozone, and being able to carry out image transfer with no need of mechanical precision. |
