ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a corona discharger including: a stylus electrode; and a cleaning member capable of slidably moving along a longitudinal direction of the stylus electrode in the state that the stylus electrode is sandwiched in the cleaning member, wherein the cleaning member includes: a movable body attached to a case section of the corona discharger so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the stylus electrode; a first slidably-contacting member and a second slidably-contacting member which are supported by the movable body and between which the stylus electrode is inserted; and an urging unit interposed between the movable body and the first slidably-contacting member so as to elastically urge the first slidably-contacting member to the second slidably-contacting member.
