Abstract
A charging device includes a housing, a corona wire stretched in the housing, and a positioning member supporting the corona wire and determining a distance between the corona wire and a photoconductor, the positioning member being provided at an end of the housing. The positioning member has a vertex extending in a direction intersecting a corona-wire-stretching direction in which the corona wire is stretched. An elastic member is provided in a gap between the positioning member and the corona wire supported at the vertex, the gap spreading in the corona-wire-stretching direction.
