Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording material, a transport unit that transports the recording material, using a driving member which rotates and plural rotating parts which are aligned in an axial direction of the driving member and are disposed in contact with the driving member so as to rotate by receiving a driving force from the driving member, a support member that is shared by the plural rotating parts and supports the plural rotating parts from a side opposite to a side where the driving member is disposed, and a biasing unit that biases the support member toward the driving member.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording material;
- a transport unit that transports the recording material, using a driving member which rotates and a plurality of rotating parts which are aligned in an axial direction of the driving member and are disposed in contact with the driving member so as to rotate by receiving a driving force from the driving member;
- a support member that is shared by the plurality of rotating parts and supports the plurality of rotating parts from a side opposite to a side where the driving member is disposed;
- and
- a biasing unit that biases the support member toward the driving member, the biasing unit being disposed between individual ones of the rotating parts in the axial direction of the driving member.
A sheet transport device comprising:
- a transport unit that transports a recording material, using a driving member which rotates and a plurality of rotating parts which are aligned in an axial direction of the driving member and are disposed in contact with the driving member so as to rotate by receiving a driving force from the driving member;
- a support member that is shared by the plurality of rotating parts and supports the plurality of rotating parts from a side opposite to a side where the driving member is disposed;
- and
- a biasing unit that biases the support member toward the driving member, the biasing unit being disposed between individual ones of the rotating parts in the axial direction of the driving member.
