ABSTRACT:
A transfer paper separating device for use in an image forming apparatus includes a separating claw for forcibly separating transfer paper passed through an image transfer process from a surface of a photosensitive drum. The separating claw is supported to a supporting shaft in such a manner to naturally rotate about the supporting shaft due to unbalanced weight, with the result that a tip of the separating claw is in contact with the drum surface.In addition, the separating claw is held in a position where the tip thereof is away from the drum surface by a guide member coaxially supported to the supporting shaft therewith. The separating claw and the guide member are respectively supported to the supporting shaft radially removably. Moreover, one side of the separating claw is in contact with the guide member, and the separating claw is thereby prevented from moving in one axial direction of the supporting shaft.
