Abstract:
A charging member includes a force receiving portion that receives a force in a direction in which the charging member is moved in a longitudinal direction of the charging member while rotating. The charging member is in contact with a brush member at a place different from the place of the force receiving portion. A component of the force received by the charging member at the force receiving portion in the longitudinal direction and a component of a force received by the charging member resulting from tilting of bristles in the brush member are in the same direction.
