摘要： A lubricant applying unit includes application mechanism that applies a lubricant from a solid lubricant on a surface of an image carrier that carries an image. The lubricant is a silicon-based-powder or a silicon-based-granule. Since the lubricant is less likely to adhere on a charging member that comes in contact with the image carrier, insufficient charge in the charging roller can be prevented, and a lifetime of the charging roller increases.

摘要翻译： 润滑剂施加单元包括施加机构，其将来自固体润滑剂的润滑剂施加在承载图像的图像载体的表面上。 润滑剂是硅基粉末或硅基颗粒。 由于润滑剂不太可能粘附在与图像载体接触的充电构件上，因此可以防止充电辊中的充电不足，并且充电辊的寿命增加。

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes a moving member, a cleaning device that removes toner attached onto a surface of the moving member, and a lubricant applying device that is provided at the outside of the cleaning device and applies a lubricant onto the surface of the moving member to decrease the coefficient of friction between the surface of the moving member and a substance in contact with the surface of the moving member. The lubricant applying device includes a casing having an opening facing the surface of the moving member and having an inner wall surface. A closed space is formed by being surrounded by the inner wall surface of the casing and the surface of the moving member, and the lubricant applying device accommodates the lubricant in the closed space and applies the lubricant to the surface of the moving member in the closed space.

摘要： A powder transport unit for transporting powders includes a transport pipe, a powder transport member, and a regulating member. The transport pipe is curvingly extended. The powder transport member is disposed in an entire length of the transport pipe and rotates in the transport pipe to transport the powders. The regulating member is integrally formed with the transport pipe at a downstream end of the transport pipe, and regulates a length of the powder transport member disposed in the entire length of the transport pipe. The regulating member includes an exit hole to pass through the powders transported by the powder transport member in the transport pipe.
