Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes multiple image bearers, multiple image bearer gears, a drive source, an output gear, a drive transmission body, multiple relay gears, and multiple drive gears. A center of rotation of each of the multiple drive gears to which a driving force is transmitted from the drive source is located downstream from a corresponding one of the multiple relay gears in a rotation direction of the corresponding one of the multiple relay gears, relative to a virtual line segment connecting a center of rotation of the corresponding one of the multiple relay gears connected to the multiple drive gears and the center of rotation of a corresponding one of the multiple image bearer gears.

Claim (Index 14):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a latent image forming device configured to form a latent image on the image bearer,\n wherein the image bearer includes a latent image bearer configured to bear a latent image formed by the latent image forming device at a latent image forming position and developed into a toner image by a developing device, while rotating, and to transfer the toner image onto either one of an intermediate transfer body and a sheet, wherein the number of teeth of each of the multiple relay gears is equal to the number of teeth of each of the multiple drive gears, and wherein each of the multiple image bearer gears has the number of teeth to rotate, operable to move a surface of the image bearer from the latent image forming position to the image bearer gear while each of the multiple relay gears and each of the multiple drive gears rotate for one cycle.
