Abstract
An electricity removing unitincludes a rotating roller part, a brush part, a driving part, and a restraint member. The brush partincludes a plurality of conductive fiber bristleshaving base end portions connected to a peripheral surface of the rotating roller part. The driving part rotationally drives the rotating roller part. The restraint member abuts the brush partfrom a rotation downstream side, thereby inclining the plurality of conductive fiber bristlesto an upstream side from a downstream side of a rotational direction toward a radial outside and thus reforming them. In this way, the restraint member restrains a distance between a front end of each conductive fiber bristleand the peripheral surface of the rotating roller partto a setting distance set in advance.
