Abstract
A lubricant applying device that faces a rotatable body, and that applies a solid lubricant to the rotatable body, includes: a lubricating roll in which the solid lubricant for application is formed into a circular sectional shape around a rotatable support shaft, and that is contacted with the rotatable body; and a pressing mechanism that presses the lubricating roll toward the rotatable body, wherein the lubricating roll that is pressed against the rotatable body by the pressing mechanism applies the lubricant in a state where the lubricating roll is not rotated relative to the rotatable body, and, when a rotational torque due to the contact with the rotatable body exceeds a predetermined value, the lubricating roll is rotated in accordance with rotation of the rotatable body.
