    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a driving force transmitting mechanism transmitting a driving force from a driving source to a rotating member through a plurality of coupled driving force transmitting members. The driving force transmitting mechanism has a supporting member and a drive case. The support member supports the driving source and the rotating members. The drive case is provided on the support member and forms a closed space with the supporting member. The closed space stores the driving force transmitting members. The drive case is formed with a sound insulating part. The sound insulating part has at least either one of concave and convex parts at a position closest to the coupling part of the driving force transmitting members.

    Abstract: A fixing device includes a pressure mechanism and a pressure adjustment mechanism. The pressure mechanism includes a pressing member holding one of the pressure member and the heating member and a biasing member biasing the pressing member in a direction toward or away from the other of the pressure member and the heating member. The pressure adjustment mechanism includes an eccentric cam. The pressure adjustment mechanism uses one of small-diameter and large-diameter parts formed in the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam to allow the pressure mechanism to give the nip pressure, and uses the other of them to allow the pressure mechanism to release the nip pressure. When the large-diameter part is used to allow the pressure mechanism to give or release the nip pressure, the eccentric cam constantly receives reaction force urging it to rotate in a direction toward the small-diameter part.

    Abstract: An end effector device includes a housing, a cable, and a winding mechanism. The cable includes at least one of lines that include a power supply line and a signal line. The winding mechanism is located inside the housing and configured to wind the cable. The winding mechanism includes a case, a reel, and a spiral spring. The reel is supported in the case and allowed to rotate and wind the cable. The spiral spring urges the reel in a retrieval direction of the cable pulled out of the reel.

    Abstract: A drive transmission device includes rotatable shafts, a first transmission mechanism that transmits first driving force, and a second transmission mechanism that transmits second driving force. The first driving force causes a specific rotatable shaft to rotate in a first rotation direction. The second driving force causes the specific rotatable shaft to rotate in a second rotation direction. The second transmission mechanism includes first and second gears, and a switching member that switches between coupling and decoupling of the first and second gears. While the first and second gears are coupled, the second driving force is transmitted to the specific rotatable shaft. The first transmission mechanism includes a cut-off member that cuts off transmission of the first driving force to the specific rotatable shaft upon the second driving force being transmitted to the specific rotatable shaft while the first driving force is being transmitted to the specific rotatable shaft.

    Abstract: A transfer unit includes a transfer belt, transfer rollers, support members, moving members, a pinion gear, a sensor, and a light shielding plate that blocks or opens an optical path of the detection portion by rotation of a gear transmitting the drive force to the pinion gear. The light shielding plate includes a pulse portion in which a plurality of slits are formed, and at least one of a light shielding portion and a light transmitting portion formed adjacent to the pulse portion. A rotation amount of the gear is detected based on the number of the slits of the pulse portion that has passed the detection portion, and a reference position of the gear is detected based on timing when an edge of the light shielding portion blocks the detection portion or timing when an edge of the light transmitting portion opens the optical path of the detection portion.
