    摘要: The invention provides a color image forming apparatus provided with an image carrying unit including a rotatable photoreceptor, a developing unit including a plurality of developing devices, and a cleaning unit. The apparatus is formed with a lower casing and an upper casing. In the upper casing, the image carrying unit, the developing unit and the cleaning unit are accommodated, in which at least two kinds of the units are incorporated in a cartridge capable of being detachably installed in the upper casing. The upper casing is adapted pivotal between an open position and an operation position around an axis which is disposed parallel to the rotation axis of the photoreceptor. When the upper casing is pivotted to the open position, the developing unit is so disposed that a side of the developing unit facing the photoreceptor becomes higher than other side of the developing unit.

    摘要: The invention provides an apparatus for forming a latent image on a photoreceptor. In the apparatus, there are provided an image reader including a scanning device for performing a reciprocal movement along an original document, a reading device for reading an image on the original document and for outputting an image signal in the outward movement of the scanning device, and a memory for storing the image signal; and an image writing device for writing a latent image on the photoreceptor. The image writing device has a first writing mode in which a latent image corresponding to the image signal outputted from the reading device is written in synchronization with the outward movement of the scanning device, and a second writing mode in which a latent image corresponding to the image signal outputted from the memory is written. The scanning device is adapted to perform the backward movement in the second writing mode.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a process cartridge that incorporates a photoreceptor and a plurality of developing devices. The process cartridge is provided with a first driving shaft to drive the photoreceptor and a second driving shaft to independently drive the developing devices. When the process cartridge is mounted in the image forming apparatus which includes spaced apart first and second gears, the first and second driving shafts are coupled separately with the spaced apart first and second gears so that driving forces are separately transmitted to the first and second driving shafts. A flywheel is mounted on a third driving shaft that is coupled with the first driving shaft to drive the photoreceptor. Since the developing devices are constructed to receive a large number of different possible loads, the developers are placed in a condition where vibrations are created easily by the driving of the various possible loads. The driving of the photoreceptor is arranged to be independent of the driving of the developing devices so that vibrations generated by the driving of the developing devices are not transmitted to the photoreceptor. Furthermore, the flywheel is provided on the third driving shaft, and a third gear is mounted on the third driving shaft. Since the third gear is coupled with the first driving shaft to drive the photoreceptor, the rotation of the photoreceptor will be smoothed out by the presence of the flywheel.

    摘要: An image forming machine has a charging roller on which magnetic particles are supplied to form a magnetic brush and an image forming body which is charged under the condition that the magnetic brush on the charging roller is in an alternating electric field. When the distance between a regulating member that regulates an amount of the magnetic particles passing through and the charging roller is defined to be DB and the distance between the image forming body and the charging roller is defined to be DI, an inequality of 0.7 DB.ltoreq.DI.ltoreq.1.0 DB is satisfied. More preferably, DB is in the relation of 0.2.ltoreq.DB.ltoreq.1.0 in mm.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus in which a process cartridge contains at least an image carrying member, a developing unit and a developer replenishment unit. The process cartridge can be mounted to or removed from the apparatus for its replacement. The process cartridge can take a first position where images can be formed and a second position where developer can be replenished. The process cartridge can be moved from the first position to the second position when a detector for detecting the depletion of the developer outputs a detection signal.
