Abstract:
1. An image formation apparatus comprising: an opening and closing cover pivotably supported on a main body frame of an apparatus main body; a cover fulcrum shaft for pivotably supporting the opening and closing cover on the main body frame; and a roller shaft for rotatably supporting a conveying roller for conveying a recording medium, the roller shaft being disposed on the opening and closing cover; wherein the image formation apparatus further comprises a grounding member for grounding the roller shaft to the main body frame via the cover fulcrum shaft, the grounding member being disposed on the opening and closing cover and having a first portion electrically connected to the roller shaft and a second portion electrically connected to the cover fulcrum shaft; the cover fulcrum shaft has a bent part that is bent so as to extend in a direction intersecting the pivot axis direction of the opening and closing cover, and the opening and closing cover includes an engaging part capable of engaging with the bent part; and due to the engaging of the bent part with the engaging part, the cover fulcrum shaft integrally pivots with the opening and closing cover when the opening and closing cover is opened and closed.
