Abstract:
A drive device, which is incorporated in an image forming apparatus, includes a drive motor and a plurality of gears driven by the drive motor. The plurality of gears include at least two gears disposed coaxially with each other and have a plurality of meshing portions. Each meshing portion is formed between a pair of gears of the plurality of gears. A difference between respective gear mesh frequencies of the plurality of meshing portions is set equal to or smaller than 100 Hz.

Claim (Index 2):
The drive device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the plurality of meshing portions include a reference meshing portion having a reference gear mesh frequency, and wherein, a greatest sound component is greatest in sound level out of sound components having integral multiples of the reference gear mesh frequency of the reference meshing portion and sound components having integral divisions of the reference gear mesh frequency of the reference meshing portion and a difference between a gear mesh frequency of the greatest sound component and each gear mesh frequency of sound components of the rest of the plurality of meshing portions is set equal to or smaller than 100 Hz.
