Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a first fixing member; a second fixing member; a holding member; a cam member; an urging member; a spring member; a drive source; a transmission section; a regulating member; and a controller. The cam member is rotatable about an axis in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction. The spring member has one end portion movable in interlocking relation with the cam member and another end portion whose movement is regulated by the regulating member. The spring member suppresses rotation of the cam member in the first direction while storing a restoring force by the rotation of the cam member in the first direction; and facilitates rotation of the cam member in the second direction while releasing the restoring force by the rotation of the cam member in the second direction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a discharging tray for supporting a sheet, an operation panel and a supporting member. The sheet is discharged toward a sheet discharging direction that is a direction toward which the sheet is discharged. The operation panel is located at a position which is different from the position of the discharging tray in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet discharging direction and above the discharging tray. The supporting member is disposed at the discharging tray and capable of supporting the discharged sheet with the discharging tray. A front end portion of the supporting member is located above an upper surface of the discharging tray. At least a part of the front end portion of the supporting member overlaps the operation panel when viewed in the width direction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus may include: a process cartridge, an apparatus body and a spacing member. The process cartridge may be detachably mountable to the apparatus body and include a photosensitive unit having a photosensitive member, a developing unit having a developing roller, and a driving input part into which a driving force from the apparatus body is configured to be inputted. The apparatus body may include a driving input member which is configured to input the driving force. Additionally or alternatively, the spacing member may be attached to the process cartridge and configured to space the photosensitive member and the developing roller. The spacing member may include a first cover part which is located between the driving input part and the driving input member and covers at least a portion of the driving input part.

Abstract: A sheet conveying apparatus installed in an image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a first guide member provided to a rear cover and configured to guide a sheet along a conveying path, a second guide member provided to the rear cover and configured to be movable between a first position where the sheet is guided to a nip of intermediate discharging rollers and a second position farther from the nip in a sheet conveying direction than the first position, and a movement mechanism configured to move the second member. When the rear cover is moved from a closed position toward an opened position, the movement mechanism moves the second guide member from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a fixing member; a holding member; and a cam member. The holding member holds the fixing member such that the fixing member can be displaced between a pressure contact position and a separation position. The cam member is rotatable about an axis in a first direction and a second direction. A distance between a cam surface of the cam member and the axis is reduced in the second direction. A part of the cam surface is in contact with the holding member at a first position in a state where the fixing member is at the separation position, and away from the holding member at a second position in a state where the fixing member is at the pressure contact position. The first direction is opposite to a direction from the first position to the second position about the axis with a smaller central angle.
