An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material is
constituted by an image bearing member, a driving source, a first pulley
rotatable by actuation of the driving source, a second pulley, connected
to a rotatable member, for transmitting rotation of the driving source to
the image bearing member, a belt supported by the first pulley and the
second pulley, a first pressing member which is disposed upstream from
the first pulley with respect to a rotational direction of the drum and
located closer to the second pulley than a rotation axis of the first
pulley so as to press the first pulley through the belt, and a second
pressing member disposed at a position substantially symmetrically
opposite from the first pressing member with respect to a line connecting
the rotation axis of the first pulley and a rotation axis of the second
pulley so as to press the first pulley through the belt.
