The present invention provides a color image forming apparatus having an intermediate transfer member, including an electrophotographic photosensitive member, an image forming unit for forming color toner images on the photosensitive drum, an intermediate transfer member which is moved endlessly and to which the color toner images are successively transferred superimposedly, and a transfer unit for transferring the color toner images transferred to the intermediate transfer member onto a transfer material collectively. The intermediate transfer member is rotatably held by a holding member having holding plates, connecting members interconnecting them, and protruded guide members sliding on a guiding member of the image forming apparatus. The mounting and dismounting of the intermediate transfer member to or from the image forming apparatus is effected by shifting the holding member along a shifting direction of the intermediate transfer member by using the holding plates of the holding member as grips.
摘要:
A color printer including a photoconductive belt, a black developing unit which is located adjacent the photoconductive belt and a revolving type developing unit which is located adjacent the photoconductive belt and has a developing position on the photoconductive belt which is different from that of the black developing unit. The revolving type developing unit has a yellow developing device, a magenta developing device and a cyan developing device, each including a detachable toner cartridge by which yellow toner, magenta toner and cyan toner is replenished. The black developing unit is replaceable independent of the revolving type developing unit by being removably mounted on a removable frame on which the revolving type developing unit is mounted. Both developing units are removable from the color printer as a body by removal of the removable frame from the color printer.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus having a main body whose upper section is split into first and second split lid sections. The first and second split lid sections are arranged to be freely opened and closed. A transfer body and a fixing device are detachably installed in the first split lid section, while a developing device and an image carrying body are installed in the second split lid section. The image carrying body and the transfer body are brought out of contact with each other by opening at least one of the first and second split lid sections. The transfer body and a fixing member are caused to be rotatable by opening the first lid section. With this structure, it is possible to easily repair a paper jam and perform maintenance of the respective sections without increasing the installation space.

An image-forming machine includes a supporting structure and a process unit to be mounted on the supporting structure. The supporting structure has a lower frame member and an upper frame member mounted on the lower frame member so as to be free to pivot between an open position and a closed position. The process unit has a first unit which includes a developing device and a second unit which includes an image-bearing means with an electrostatographic material. The first unit is mounted on the upper frame member, and the second unit is mounted on the lower frame member.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a chassis having an opening, a cover, photosensitive members, an intermediate transfer belt, a primary-transfer member, a secondary-transfer roller, a cleaner device, an external-sheet inlet, a waste toner container, a connector, and a conveying roller, which is arranged within the feeding path to feed the recording sheet inserted through the external-sheet inlet in the feeding path. The conveying roller is mounted on the waste toner container and removable from the chassis along with the waste toner container.

An image forming apparatus includes a detachable unit attachable to and detachable from an apparatus body, a preceding unit configured to move relative to the apparatus body before the detachable unit is attached to or detached from the apparatus body, and an adhesion-suppressing component provided on the preceding unit and configured to suppress adhesion of floating matter in the apparatus body to a grip of the detachable unit by covering the grip.
摘要:
A cleaning apparatus includes an endless belt configured to bear a toner image, a rotary member configured to be wound around by the belt, and configured to rotate integrally with the belt, a bearing configured to rotatably support the rotary member, a cleaning unit configured to come into contact with a surface of the belt and collect an adhering matter adhered onto the surface, an urging member configured to urge the cleaning unit toward the surface of the belt, and a support member configured from a single member and including a first supporting portion, a second supporting portion, and a third supporting portion. The first supporting portion rotatably supports the belt via the bearing and the rotary member. The second supporting portion pivotably supports the cleaning unit. The third supporting portion supports the urging member.
