Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: an image carrier rotated by a drive section and carrying a toner image to transfer onto a transfer medium; and a drive-side coupling and an image carrier-side coupling capable of being connected to and being separated from each other by relative movement in a direction of a rotary shaft of the drive section and capable of connecting and separating the drive section and the image carrier. The drive-side coupling has a plurality of abutting surfaces for transmitting a driving force, the image carrier-side coupling has a plurality of abutting surfaces to which the driving force is transmitted, and the drive-side coupling and the image carrier-side coupling have a difference in angles of each of the abutting surfaces of the couplings with respect to a direction in which the couplings are connected to and separated from each other.
