Abstract
A first roller includes a rotation shaft extending in a first direction. A second roller faces the first roller in a second direction. A first bearing supports an end portion of the rotation shaft. The first bearing is formed of a conductive resin. A second bearing supports the first end portion. The second bearing is formed of a material having higher toughness than the first bearing. A spring urges the first bearing in a direction in which the first roller presses the second roller. The spring is formed of a conductive material. A frame supports the second bearing to be movable in the second direction. The second bearing receives a force of the rotation shaft that moves in the first direction. The frame restricts movement in the first direction of the second bearing that receives the force of the rotation shaft that moves in the first direction.
