摘要:
An image forming apparatus 1 comprises an image forming unit 10 including a photosensitive drum (image bearing body) 11, and an exposure unit 2 including an exposure head 50 that emits light to expose the photosensitive drum 11 to form a latent image. The exposure unit 2 has a duct unit 3 extending in the X direction (longitudinal direction) of the image forming unit 10. The duct unit 3 has an inlet opening 35 through which air flows into the duct unit 3 and an outlet opening 36 through which the air is discharged from the duct unit 3. The exposure unit 2 is provided pivotably about a pivoting axis C1 (virtual straight line) passing through the inlet opening 35.

An image forming apparatus including: a first body (100) including a developing unit to perform an image forming operation on a print medium, and a second body (200) provided above the first body to pivot between a closed position and an open position in relation to the first body, the second body including a light emitting unit (240), wherein the light emitting unit is directly above the developing unit when the second body is in the closed position, and the developing unit is exposed to an outside of the image forming apparatus when the second body is in the closed position. A user can place the image forming apparatus on a desktop, which increases convenience in using the apparatus. Additionally, a specialized image forming apparatus can be provided to a user who mainly wants to print and copy in small quantities.

An upper body (32) which can be shifted from and toward a lower body (33) through a link mechanism (64) is formed. A drum unit (C1) and a toner unit (C2) are arranged on the side of the upper body (32). The upper body (32) is opened in parallel with respect to the lower body (33) with a predetermined interval, by the link mechanism (64) including arms (67,68). In the state where the upper body (32) is opened, the drum unit (C1) and the toner unit (C2) can be detached from and attached to the printer device (31) in frontward and backward directions, by sliding a sliding member (63) arranged on the upper body (32).

A mounting member for mounting a flange to an end of a cylindrical member of an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, includes a base plate; a hole provided at a center portion of said base plate; a plurality of first projected portions provided projected outwardly from an edge of said base plate, for elastic contact to an inner surface of said flange; a plurality of second projected portion provided projected outwardly from an edge of said base plate, for elastic contact to an inner surface of said flange.
摘要:
A process cartridge for an image forming apparatus, which includes a cartridge main body having at least one of a developing device for developing with toner a latent image on a photoconductor and a cleaner for salvaging the toner remaining on a surface of the photoconductor and detachably mounted to a main body of the image forming apparatus, and a shutter which covers a covering area including an area beneath a lower part of the circumferential surface of the photoconductor and an area beneath a lower part of at least one of a boundary between the photoconductor and the developing device and a boundary between the photoconductor and the cleaner. The shutter moves in a substantially horizontal posture between the covering area and a siding area beneath the developing device or the cleaner. Therefore, toner received by the shutter is prevented from falling from the shutter when the shutter is moved.
