Abstract:
Image forming apparatus (1) including: external cover (63) covering outer side of side wall of housing (60) storing image forming portion (20), and having exhaust outlet (63f); equipment storage space (5) formed between side wall (62a) of housing (60) and external cover (63); opening (62f) formed in side wall (62a) and allowing inside of housing (60) to communicate with equipment storage space (S); exhaust fan (100) disposed in equipment storage space (S) and taking in air from housing (60) via opening (62f) and exhausting air from exhaust outlet (63f); heat generating equipment (70) disposed in equipment storage space (S); and duct (90) connecting air outlet (101b) of exhaust fan (100) and exhaust outlet (63f). Communicating portion (97), which allows inside and outside of duct (90) to communicate with each other, is formed in wall of duct (90) located on heat generating equipment (70) side.
Abstract:
A photosensitive drum has a drum sleeve and a pair of drum flanges. At least one of the pair of drum flanges each has a flange part, a retaining part, and a linking part. The flange part is fitted to the drum sleeve. The retaining part, which is located inward of the flange part in the axial direction of the drum sleeve, pivotably supports a shaft that rotates the photosensitive drum. Openings are formed between the flange part and the retaining part in a direction intersecting the axial direction. An air flow enters the interior of the photosensitive drum from the openings.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus (1) includes a case body (3) having a hollow space (2) in which a sheet storing part (6) and an image forming part (7) are to be housed. The case body (3) has four pillars (31), (32), (33), (34) and a conveying frame (39). The four pillars (31), (32), (33), (34) are respectively disposed at four corners of the hollow space (2). The conveying frame (39) is disposed between adjacent two pillars (32), (34) of the four pillars (31), (32), (33), (34) and configured to form a conveying path (36) of a sheet from the sheet storing part (6) to the image forming part (7). The conveying frame (39) has at least one vertical column-shaped projection (61) on a pillar side end face. The vertical column-shaped projection (61) is integrally coupled to the pillar (32).

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a pair of support frames, an opening and closing door and a positioning structure. The support doors are arranged oppositely at both sides of an opening. The opening and closing door is supported by one of the pair of support frames via a turning shaft and turns around the turning shaft between a closing position and an opening position. The positioning structure positions the opening and closing door to the pair of support frames by engaging a convex part or a concave part provided in the pair of support frames with a concave part or a convex part provided in the opening and closing door in a state where the opening and closing door is turned to the closing position.

Abstract:
An angle formed between a first beam light ray D1 and a second beam light ray D2 is θ12, an angle formed between the second beam light ray D2 and a third beam light ray D3 is θ23, and an angle formed between the third beam light ray D3 and a fourth beam light ray D4 is θ34, where the first, second, third, and fourth beam light rays D1, D2, D3, and D4 have been reflected by a reflective surface of a rotating polygon mirror, θ23 is the smallest, of the three angles, that is, θ12, θ23, and θ34.
