An image forming apparatus includes an engagement piece, connected to a
cylindrical member at a crease which extends in a direction crossing a
circumferential direction of the cylindrical member, projecting radially
outward from the cylindrical member. The engagement piece may engage with
a gear to prevent the gear from detaching from the cylindrical member. In
addition, the cylindrical member may include a concave portion to engage
with a convex portion of the gear. Also, the gear may include a cover
portion that includes a communication hole through which a tool may be
inserted in order to configure the engagement piece.
