ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier (1), a corona charger (5) in which a discharge electrode (11) is arranged in a conductive shield (9) having an open face on a side facing the image carrier (1) and a face in which a first ventilation opening (10) is formed, and a duct (6) arranged adjacent to the corona charger (5), has an airflow opening (7). The conductive shield is provided with a wall member (22) at an end thereof on the downstream side in the direction of airflow created through the first ventilation opening and is provided with a second ventilation opening (23) in a face on the downstream side in the rotational direction of an image carrier and the duct has a third ventilation opening (24) facing the second ventilation opening and a fourth ventilation opening (25) in a face of the duct.
