Abstract:
An image forming apparatus has an image carrier, an electrifying member, and a charge eliminating device, and eliminates remaining charge on the surface of the image carrier by the charge eliminating device. The charge eliminating device includes a discharge member. The discharge member includes an electro conductive knit fabric knitted in a cylindrical shape using twisted yarn made of twisted metal fibers and a support member having a cylindrical shape and inserted in the electro conductive knit fabric, and is disposed to face the image carrier in a noncontact manner. A magnet member is disposed inside the image carrier within a charge elimination nip width between two tangential lines of an outer circumference surface of the discharge member, the two tangential lines being parallel to a straight line passing through a rotation center of the image carrier and a center axis of the discharge member.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the magnet member has two magnetic poles with maximum peaks, and the two magnetic poles are disposed within the charge elimination nip width.
