ELECTRIFYING MEMBER, ELECTRIFYING DEVICE HAVING ELECTRIFYING MEMBER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING ELECTRIFYING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus where electrifying sound is restrained from being produced.;SOLUTION: The electrifying member 30 of the image forming apparatus electrifies a body to be electrified 12 while abutting on the body to be electrified 12, and has: an electrifying layer 44 abutting on the body to be electrified 12; an intermediate layer 48 holding the electrifying layer 44; and a supporting member 46 supporting the intermediate layer 48. The intermediate layer 48 is constituted so that the rigidity of the neighboring part of the electrifying layer 44 may be larger than the rigidity of the neighboring part of the supporting member 46.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
