Provided is an image forming apparatus that efficiently and stably applies a lubricant to the surface of a photoconductor, improves the cleanability of the surface of the photoconductor, prevents abnormal images, and outputs a high-quality image. The task is to do. A cleaning device having at least a photosensitive member, a cleaning blade for cleaning the surface of the photosensitive member after transfer, and a upstream side of the cleaning blade in the rotational direction of the photosensitive member. In the image forming apparatus 100 including the lubricant application device 3 that scrapes and applies the lubricant 3d with the application brush, the scraped lubricant is blown off by the flickering of the application brush 3e with the solid lubricant 3d, and the photoreceptor is in the flying position. It is characterized by having a structure with one surface. [Selection] Figure 2 |
