Abstract
An electrostatic charging apparatus includes: an electrostatic charging member that has a discharge face causing discharge between the electrostatic charging member and a to-be-charged member having a charge retention part to hold a charge, and comes in contact with the to-be-charged member so as to charge upon the application of voltage; and an adjusting unit that adjusts an angle between the to-be-charged member and the discharge face.
Claims8
An electrostatic charging apparatus comprising:
- an electrostatic charging member that has a discharge face causing discharge between the electrostatic charging member and a to-be-charged member having a charge retention part to hold a charge, and comes in contact with the to-be-charged member so as to charge upon the application of voltage;
- and
- an adjusting unit that adjusts an angle between the to-be-charged member and the discharge face.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- An image carrier that has a charge retention part to hold a charge and carries an image;
- an electrostatic charging member that has a discharge face causing discharge between the electrostatic charging member and the charge retention part, and comes in contact with the image carrier so as to charge upon the application of voltage;
- and
- an adjusting unit that adjusts an angle between the image carrier and the discharge face.
An electrostatic charging method comprising adjusting an angle between a to-be-charged member having a charge retention part to hold a charge and a discharge face of an electrostatic charging member that has a discharge face causing discharge between the electrostatic charging member and the to-be-charged member and comes in contact with the to-be-charged member so as to charge upon the application of voltage.
