A discharge device is housed in a housing portion of a holder. The discharge device includes a housed section and a discharge electrode protruding from the housed section. The housed section is housed in the housing portion. The housed section includes a bottom wall and two side walls. The two side walls oppose each other in a longitudinal direction of the bottom wall. At least one of the two side walls is connected to the bottom wall via a curved surface. The curved surface guides a corner of the housing portion when the housed section is housed in the housing portion. As a result, the housed section is housed in the housing portion without catching on the corner.
