    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a cartridge supporting member, a cover and a restricting member. The cartridge supporting member supporting cartridges is movable along a moving path between an inside position and an outside position relative to the main body. The cover is provided at the main body and pivotally movable between a first position and a second position higher than the first position in a direction generally perpendicular to the moving path. The restricting member is movable in interlocking relation with the movement of the cartridge supporting member between a restricting position and a permitting position for restricting and permitting movement of the cover from the second position to the first position. The restricting member is in the restricting position when the cartridge supporting member is in the outside position, and in the permitting position when the cartridge supporting member is in the inside position.

    Abstract: A unit for an image forming apparatus includes: a frame; a photosensitive drum; and a guide member. The frame includes: first and second side plates spaced apart from each other in a first direction and a bridging member. The guide member bridges the first and second side plates; and guides a recording medium in a second direction. The guide member includes: first and second positioned portions fixed in position relative to the first and second side plates; and a supported portion supported to the bridging member. A downstream end of the guide member in the second direction and one of the first and second positioned portions define a first distance therebetween, and the downstream end and the supported portion define a second distance therebetween as viewed in the first direction. The first distance is smaller than the second distance.

    Abstract: A developing roller is located nearer a first end than a second end in a first direction. A first boss extends in a second direction and is movable together with a housing. The first boss bears the weight of a developer cartridge when the first boss is supported by a support surface of a first side plate of a drum unit, and is located away from the developing roller in the first direction and the third direction. A first pressure receiving surface is located farther away from the developing roller than the first boss in the third direction. The pressure receiving member receives a pressing force in the third direction from a pressing member of the first side plate of the drum unit. The first boss is located away from the developing roller in the first direction by a first distance. The first pressure receiving surface is located away from the developing roller in the first direction by the first distance or by a second distance smaller than the first distance.
