    Abstract: A correction mechanism of the belt conveyor device, including a pair of inclined bearings and a pair of main-body guides, corrects meanders of a belt. The pair of inclined bearings include a pair of bearing portions, respectively, and a pair of inclined portions, respectively, that are inclined symmetrically with respect to an axial direction of the rollers. The pair of main-body guides are put into contact with the pair of inclined portions, respectively, and make an end side of the rollers in the axial direction moved in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, together with the pair of inclined bearings during meandering of the belt. The pair of inclined bearings are fittable to and removable from a shaft portion of one of the rollers.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit and a developing separation mechanism. The image forming unit includes an image carrier and a developing device. The developing device includes a developing member and movable in a developing position where the developing member is in contact with the image carrier and a separated position where the developing member is separated away from the image carrier, and is configured to be drawn out from an apparatus main body. The developing separation mechanism includes an arm member configured to interfere with the developing device from a downstream side of a draw-out direction so as to move the developing device from the developing position to the separated position, and to be turned to an upstream side of the draw-out direction by the image forming unit when the image forming unit is drawn out and then be separated from the developing device.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a relay unit and a guide plate. The relay unit is detachably mounted in the in-body discharge section and receives a sheet discharged from the first exit port and conveys the sheet. The guide plate switches a conveyance path for the sheet discharged from the first exit port between a first path via the relay unit and a second path other than the first path. The relay unit includes a conveyance roller and a drive device. The conveyance roller conveys the sheet. The drive device rotates the conveyance roller. The drive device changes the posture of the guide plate between a first posture corresponding to the first path and a second posture corresponding to the second path.

    Abstract: A sheet conveyance section (1) includes a roller (3a), a roll (3b), and a pressing member (5). The roller (3a) and the roll (3b) carry a sheet (P) by sandwiching the sheet P. The pressing member (5) presses the roll (3b) against the roller (3a). The roll (3b) is supported so as to be movable independently of the pressing member (5) on condition that the pressing by the pressing member (5) is released.

    Abstract: A developing device contact and separation mechanism includes a monochrome operating member, a color operating member, and a rotating member that rotates among a first position for a non-operational state, a second position for color printing, and a third position for monochrome printing. At the first position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the separated position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the separated position, via the color operating member. At the second position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the contacting position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the contacting position, via the color operating member. At the third position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the contacting position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the separated position, via the color operating member.

    Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, a shutter, and an operation member. The container body contains a toner and has a discharging port discharging the toner. The shutter opens or closes the discharging port. The operation member is operated between a first operation position making the shutter close the discharging port and a second operation position making the shutter open the discharging port. In an upper face of the container body, a recessed part is provided in an area including an end at a side of the operation member. In the recessed part, an inclined face inclined upwardly from an upstream side to a downstream side in an operation direction when the operation member is operated from the first operation position to the second operation position is provided.

    Abstract: The belt conveyor device includes an endless belt, a pair of biasing members, a pair of tension arms, and a correction mechanism. The pair of biasing members bias a tension roller in such a direction as to heighten tension of the belt. The pair of tension arms retain the tension roller and the pair of biasing members, and are swingably supported by a pair of arm support portions of the casing. The pair of biasing members bias a shaft portion of the tension roller in such a direction as to make the shaft portion farther from the pair of arm support portions. The arm support portions are placed above the shaft portion of the tension roller.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a discharge rollers pair, a sheet pressing member and a discharge tray. The sheet pressing member includes a first rotational shaft, a detection piece and a corrugation piece. The corrugation piece protrudes in a radial direction different from a protruding direction of the detection piece from the first rotational shaft. When the detection piece is turned at a first angle into a first posture, the corrugation piece is changed into a contact posture where the corrugation piece comes into contact with the sheet to apply stiffness on the sheet. When the detection piece is turned at a second angle into a second posture, the corrugation piece is changed into a retracting posture where the corrugation piece separates from the sheet.
