Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a drum unit including a photosensitive drum; a belt unit; and a secondary transfer member. The belt unit includes: a first roller; a second roller spaced apart from the first roller; an intermediate transfer belt supported by the first roller and the second roller; and a primary transfer member. The intermediate transfer belt includes: a first portion; and a second portion. The first portion has an upstream end and a downstream end in a first direction. The second portion has an upstream end and a downstream end in a second direction. The primary transfer member is configured to transfer a toner image from the photosensitive drum to the first portion. The secondary transfer member is capable of contacting the downstream end of the second portion, and is configured to transfer the toner image from the intermediate transfer belt to a sheet.

Claim (Index 12):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the secondary transfer roller includes a shaft,\n wherein the belt unit comprises:\n a frame movable together with the first roller; and \n a protrusion protruding from the frame in a direction directed from the first portion to the second portion, the protrusion being in contact with the shaft of the secondary transfer roller and positioned opposite to the first opening with respect to the shaft of the secondary transfer roller in a state where the secondary transfer roller is attached to the main casing, and \n wherein the secondary transfer roller is movable together with the first roller and the frame due to contact between the shaft and the protrusion in a state where the secondary transfer roller is attached to the main casing.
