Abstract
A transfer device includes: an endless transfer belt that circulates and receives an image; one image carrier that carries an image and is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the transfer belt from above; another image carrier that carries an image and is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the transfer belt from below; one transfer roller that holds the transfer belt with respect to the one image carrier to transfer the image carried on the one image carrier to the transfer belt, the one transfer roller including one cylindrical roller part; and another transfer roller that holds the transfer belt with respect to the other image carrier to transfer the image carried on the other image carrier to the transfer belt, the other transfer roller including another cylindrical roller part. The one roller part and the other roller part protrude at central portions thereof in the axial direction with respect to ends thereof in the axial direction. The amount of protrusion at the central portion of the other roller part is smaller than the amount of protrusion at the central portion of the one roller part.
