Claim Text:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image bearing member configured to bear a toner image thereon; a transfer member configured to form a transfer unit with the image bearing member; a voltage supply device configured to transfer a toner image on the image bearing member electrostatically onto a transfer material at the transfer unit by applying voltage to the transfer member; a conductive conveyance member configured to have conductivity and make contact with the transfer material that is conveyed toward the transfer unit; a resistor in a sheet shape configured to ground the conductive conveyance member electrically; a first contact member configured to form a current path between the resistor and the conductive conveyance member; and a second contact member configured to form a current path between the resistor and an electrical ground portion, wherein, a first contact portion between the resistor and the first contact member and a second contact portion between the resistor and the second contact member are arranged so as not to overlap in a thickness direction of the resistor.
