Abstract
A driving apparatus includes a drive output member configured to, when driving a member to be driven, receive a first force from the member to be driven in a direction in which the drive output member comes off a rotation shaft of a motor, and when driven by a drive transmission member, receive a second force from the drive transmission member in a direction opposite to that of the first force. The second force is equal to or greater than the first force.
