Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material, a printed circuit board including a voltage generation unit mounted thereon and configured to generate a voltage to be applied to the image forming unit, a conductive member provided on the printed circuit board, to which the voltage generated by the voltage generation unit is applied, an elastic member including an arm portion configured to be biased toward the conductive member, and configured to connect the conductive member and the image forming unit, and a holding unit configured to hold the arm portion of the elastic member at a position where the arm portion is not in contact with the conductive member.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material;
- a printed circuit board including a voltage generation unit mounted thereon, the voltage generation unit being configured to generate a voltage to be applied to the image forming unit;
- a conductive member provided on the printed circuit board, the voltage generated by the voltage generation unit being applied to the conductive member;
- an elastic member including an arm portion configured to be biased toward the conductive member and configured to contact with the conductive member, the elastic member being connected to the image forming unit;
- and
- a holding unit configured to be positioned on a downstream side in an opposite direction opposite to a direction in which the elastic member is biased toward the conductive member with respect to the conductive member,
- wherein the elastic member is capable of being moved to a retracted position in which the elastic member is positioned on the downstream side in the opposite direction with respect to the conductive member and the elastic member is received by the holding unit.
