Abstract
In a copying machine 1 which is an image forming apparatus according to the present invention, an air fan 11 and an air duct 12 on the downstream side thereof are provided in a housing 10, to lead an air current to an opening 55a of an image forming unit 5 through the air duct 12. The opening 55a is for passing a light beam from a light irradiating unit 4, and is also used for blowing off air, to lead the air current to the photosensitive drum 51. A rib 10g is provided in the vicinity of the opening 55a in the housing 10, to efficiently guide the air current to the opening 55a without varying the air current. The air current disperses ozone or the like in an area surrounding the photosensitive drum 51.
