Abstract
In this transfer device, when a straight line is regarded to be a support axis P connecting a press-contacting point between the first roller and the drum to a press-contacting point between the second roller and the stopper, a moment of the resilient member of the second roller side to the support axis P is larger than the sum of a moment of the resilient member of the first roller side to the support axis P and a moment of the resilient means to the support axis P. Upon adjusting the moments as described above, a stable and reliable contact is maintained at the pair of press-contacting points of the positioning roller to the drum, completely preventing the deviation in the press-contacting points, stably and reliably limiting the gap between the transfer roller and the drum, and, hence, forming an excellently transferred image.
