    摘要: The present invention relates to an attachment for being mounted to an image forming apparatus. The attachment comprises a projection having an inner peripheral surface centered on a central axis and projecting in a direction of the central axis outside the inner peripheral surface in a radial direction of an imaginary circle centered on the central axis, wherein when the attachment is oriented in a predetermined direction in which the central axis extends in a direction of gravity and the projection projects downward, the projection has a first downward surface and a second downward surface which face downward, and an upward surface which faces upward, wherein when a circumferential direction of the imaginary circle is a first circumferential direction, and a circumferential direction opposite to the first circumferential direction is a second circumferential direction, the first downward surface and the second downward surface extend so as to go up as go in the first circumferential direction, and at least a part of the first downward surface is at a position which is closer to the central axis in the radial direction than the second downward surface is and which is different from a position at which the second downward surface is provided in the circumferential direction, and at least a part of the upward surface is above at least a part of the second downward surface.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a recording material includes a first side plate made of metal, a second side plate made of metal, the second side plate facing the first side plate in a first direction, a first connecting member made of metal, the first connecting member being secured to the first side plate at a first securing portion and being secured to the second side plate at a second securing portion, and a frame made of resin, the frame being sandwiched between the first side plate and the second side plate and being secured to the first side plate and the second side plate. One of the first side plate and the frame includes a first hole, an other of the first side plate and the frame includes a first protrusion inserted in the first hole, one of the second side plate and the frame includes a second hole, and an other of the second side plate and the frame includes a second protrusion inserted in the second hole. At least one of the first side plate and the first connecting member is deformed to form the first securing portion, and at least one of the second side plate and the first connecting member is deformed to form the second securing portion.

    摘要: [Problem] To provide a form of a container for use with an image forming apparatus
    [Solution] A container for use with an image forming apparatus and for accommodating a content of powder or a liquid, the container includes an accommodating portion configured to accommodate the content; an end portion including a discharging portion which includes a discharge opening for permitting discharge of the content to an outside of the container and a passage configured so that the content passes through the passage toward the discharge opening, and including a shutter configured to be movable relative to the discharging portion between a shielding position where the shutter shields the discharge opening and an open position where the shutter opens the discharge opening; and a cap mounted to the end portion so as to cover at least a part of the end portion and configured to be dismounted from the end portion by being rotated relative to the end portion.
