Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a drive source, a driving gear provided on an output shaft of the drive source, a first gear engaging with the driving gear, a first drive transmission portion for transmitting a driving force from the first gear to an image bearing member, a second gear engaging with the driving gear, and a second drive transmission portion for transmitting a driving force from the second gear to a feeding portion. The first gear and the second gear are provided coaxially with each other. A positional relationship between the first gear and the second gear with respect to an axial direction is that the first gear is disposed closer to the drive source than the second gear is.
