PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide exhaust means that exhausts an air exhausted from the inside of an image forming apparatus, can suppress diffusion of an air containing an odor material to the surroundings, and has a simple configuration compared with prior art exhaust means.SOLUTION: Exhaust means 50 is exhaust means for exhausting air inside an image forming apparatus 1. The exhaust means 50 includes an exhaust duct 60 that has a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is a channel directed from the inside of the image forming apparatus 1 to the outside of the image forming apparatus 1. The first channel includes an exhaust port H1 that is an end on the downstream side of the channel, and the exhaust port H1 is provided so that the air exhausted from the inside of the image forming apparatus 1 is exhausted along a back face S1 that is one side face on the outside of a housing of the image forming apparatus 1. The second channel includes a blowout port H2 that is one end of the channel, and the blowout port H2 is adjacent to the exhaust port H1 on the outside of the image forming apparatus 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 |
