The image forming apparatus includes a belt member having a convex portion, effecting a circular movement, a first support member and a second support member for supporting the belt member, and a drive receiving unit for receiving force from circular movement of the belt member.An angle of the second support member to the first support member is affected by inputting the force arising from the circular movement into the drive receiving unit, and the force arising from the circular movement is input by contacting the convex portion to the drive receiving unit.
