Abstract: A grounding structure for an endless belt includes: an endless belt including a conductive layer, the endless belt being configured to move; a conductive conducting unit that is in contact with the conductive layer which is exposed at an end surface of the conducting unit in a direction intersecting a moving direction of the endless belt such that the conducting unit is electrically connected to the conductive layer; a pressure contacting unit that brings the conducting unit into pressure contact with the end surface of the conductive layer of the endless belt; and a grounding unit that grounds the conducting unit.

Abstract: A rotatable-member-supporting structure includes a first rotatable member having a shaft portion, a bearing member by which the shaft portion of the first rotatable member is rotatably supported, a pressing member that presses the bearing member in one direction, and a supporting member by which the bearing member is supported in such a manner as to be retractably movable in the direction in which the pressing member presses the bearing member. A pressing force generated by the pressing member is greatest in a portion of the bearing member that is on a downstream side in a direction of rotation of the first rotatable member with respect to an intersection between the bearing member and a first virtual line extending from a center of rotation of the first rotatable member toward the pressing member in the direction in which the supporting member is retractably movable.

Abstract: A roller member includes a rotating shaft and a roller portion. The roller portion includes a first layer provided on at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft, and a second elastic layer provided on at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the first layer. The first layer is made of a material having a coefficient of linear expansion lower than a coefficient of linear expansion of a material of the second elastic layer.

Abstract: A rotary member support structure includes: a rotary member including a shaft; a bearing that rotatably supports the shaft of the rotary member; a pressing member that presses the bearing in one direction; and a support that supports the bearing such that the bearing is movable in a pressing direction of the pressing member. When the rotary member is not rotating, the bearing and the pressing member are in contact with each other such that the bearing is rotatable about the shaft.

Abstract: An attachment structure for an attachable body includes an attachable body, a connecting unit, a first regulating device, and a second regulating device. The attachable body is attachable to an apparatus body and has a leading end and a trailing end in an attachment direction in which the attachable body is attached to the apparatus body. The connecting unit is provided on a leading end side of the attachable body in the attachment direction. The connecting unit is connected to the apparatus body. The first regulating device regulates a movement of the attachable body in the attachment direction from a trailing end side. The second regulating device is provided at a position closer to the connecting unit than to the first regulating device in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the attachment direction. The second regulating device regulates the movement of the attachable body.
