Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a groove, an exposure device and an adjustment member. In the groove, an end portion of a rotation shaft of a photosensitive drum is inserted. The exposure device is configured to emit a laser light on the photosensitive drum to form an electrostatic latent image. The adjustment member is configured to shift the end portion of the rotation shaft in a direction other than a vertical direction in the groove to adjust a skew of the laser light.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the groove has a linear horizontal part, the adjustment member is rotatable and has an arc-shaped circumferential edge configured to come into contact with the end portion of the rotation shaft inserted in the groove from an oblique direction, to press the end portion of the rotation shaft on the horizontal part and to support the end portion of the rotation shaft with the horizontal part, wherein a biasing member is provided, the biasing member being configured to bias the end portion of the rotation shaft inserted in the groove so as to press the end portion of the rotation shaft on the horizontal part and the circumferential edge, wherein the circumferential edge is configured such that a radius is varied along a circumferential direction, and when the adjustment member is rotated, a contact position of the circumferential edge with the end portion of the rotation shaft is varied and then the end portion of the rotation shaft is shifted along the horizontal part.
