Abstract
A wire holding structure includes a wire holding member and a support member. The wire holding member is formed from an elastic sheet member, includes a holding piece that can be bent in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the sheet member and is formed by forming a curved cut or a bent cut, and is configured such that a wire can be held in a gap that is formed when the holding piece is bent. The support member constitutes a part of a plate-like frame that constitutes a housing of an image forming apparatus. The support member includes a stepped portion and supports the wire holding member on an upper stage surface of the stepped portion in a state where the cut of the holding piece is oriented toward an edge of the upper stage surface, and a tip of the holding piece projects over the edge.
