Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a contact glass, a frame in a box shape, a scanner, a flat cable, and a control unit. The flat cable contains core wires and has a flat shaped flat surface. The flat cable runs inside the frame such that a width direction of the flat surface runs along a direction perpendicular to the lower surface of the contact glass. The flat cable has a side that opposes to the lower surface of the contact glass. The side includes a plurality of document detection sensors in a state where detection directions face the lower surface side of the contact glass. The plurality of document detection sensors are electrically connected to any of the core wires among the plurality of core wires contained in the flat cable, the plurality of document detection sensors outputting detection signals transmitted to the control unit via the core wires.

Abstract: A positioning structure includes a positioning aiding member attached to a horizontal beam of a sheet feeder and having a positioning hole formed at an opposed portion thereof opposed to the horizontal beam. The positioning aiding member has a guide part that, when an image forming apparatus is installed onto a top of the sheet feeder, guides a horizontal beam of the image forming apparatus such that a positioning hole formed in a lower surface of the horizontal beam of the image forming apparatus approaches a first positioning pin coupled with the positioning aiding member as viewed in an extending direction of the horizontal beam of the sheet feeder.

Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, a first bearing portion, and a rotational member. The container body in which toner is stored includes a pair of side walls that face one another across a specific distance. The first bearing portion is provided in an inner surface of at least one side wall of the pair of side walls. The rotational member includes a rotational shaft that is rotatably supported by the first bearing portion. The first bearing portion includes a terminal end portion on one side and an open portion on another side, and further includes a first long groove in which the rotational shaft is inserted, and a projection protruding from a groove bottom surface that extends from the open portion to the terminal end portion of the first long groove.

Abstract: An electrical connector of an image forming apparatus exposes outward from a bottom surface of the image forming apparatus. An electrical connector of a sheet feeder protrudes from a top surface of the sheet feeder. The sheet feeder has a slider configured to be horizontally movable, while holding the electrical connector of the sheet feeder, between a connecting position at which the electrical connectors of the sheet feeder and image forming apparatus are connected and a disconnecting position at which the electrical connectors are disconnected. A locking member having a locking engaged part is fixed to the image forming apparatus. When the slider is moved to the connecting position, a locking engaging part of the slider engages the locking engaged part of the locking member so that the locking member and the slider are locked such that they cannot be separated vertically from each other.

Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, a first projecting member, a second projecting member, and a plurality of rotational members. The first projecting member and the second projecting member are provided on a bottom surface of the container body, configured to divide an inner space of the container body into a plurality of storage chambers that are juxtaposed in a width direction of the container body, and formed parallel to one another. The plurality of rotational members are rotatably provided, respectively, in the plurality of storage chambers, and juxtaposed in the width direction. Each rotational member includes a rotational shaft body, and a film-like stirring member that is attached to the rotational shaft body and extends in a direction perpendicular to that of the rotational shaft body. A height of the first projecting member from the bottom surface is different from that of the second projecting member.

Abstract: A developer stirring member is supported by a rotation portion in a container that stores developer and is configured to stir the developer. The developer stirring member includes a base portion and a reinforcement portion. The base portion is a film-like member including a first supported portion and an end portion, the first supported portion being supported by the rotation portion, the end portion being a free end to pivot. The reinforcement portion is a film-like member overlapping only a part of the base portion that is on a first supported portion side.
