Abstract
An image forming apparatus provided with an image transfer discharger for electrostatically transferring the toner image from an image bearing member to a transfer material. It is further provided with charge removing member for removing charge so as to allow the electrostatically attached transfer material from the image bearing member. The charge removing electrode is supplied with a bias voltage from a power source for the developing device, thus the additional means required for the charge removing electrode is minimized. The discharging electrode extends from a bottom of a recess formed by an insulating member. The recess is larger away from the free end of the discharging electrode toward the outside.
