Abstract:
A roller spacing apparatus and an image forming device including the same. The roller spacing apparatus includes a frame, a first rotatable roller member having a first shaft, a second rotatable roller member having a second shaft and being rotatable in a close contact with the first roller member under a predetermined pressure, and at least one spacing part to space apart the first and the second roller members from each other by a predetermined gap such that the first and the second roller members are not in contact with each other when the first and the second roller members are not in use. The at least one spacing part includes a bushing member that has a bushing to rotatably support one of the first and second shafts on the frame, and a lever positioned at the bushing to rotate the bushing, the bushing having an outer diameter part and an inner diameter part to support the one of the first and second shafts, the inner and outer diameter parts being non-concentric circles such that a center point of the inner diameter part is at a different location from a center point of the outer diameter part, a stopping member disposed on the frame to restrict an operation range of the bushing, and a power transmitting member to selectively transmit an external rotation force to the bushing such that the bushing rotates in a direction.
