A belt unit used for an image forming apparatus is provided. The belt unit includes a rotatable endless belt, a plurality of stretching members configured to stretch the belt, an urging member, and a contact and separation unit configured to be able to switch a position of the stretching member urged by the urging member. In moving the stretching member urged by the urging member from the separation position to the contact position, the contact and separation unit makes one end side of the stretching member urged by the urging member in a longitudinal direction coming into contact with the inner surface of the belt faster than the other end side, and temporarily decreases the movement speeds of the both ends of the stretching member in the longitudinal direction respectively before arriving at the contact position.

In an image forming apparatus having a suction type fan, a thermistor is disposed in a vicinity of the suction type fan and the outside air (outside air intake port), and the forced convection by the fan is utilized, whereby it is made possible to detect the outside air temperature with good accuracy (accurately and with good response) and obtain the information thereof. Also, in an image forming apparatus for effecting image recording on a recording sheet by the electrophotographic process, including a cooling fan, an outside air thermistor (temperature sensor) disposed in a vicinity of the cooling fan, and outside air temperature calculating device for calculating the outside air temperature on the basis of temperature information from the outside air thermistor, wherein the parameter of the electrophotographic process is changed on the basis of outside air temperature information from the outside air temperature calculating device, the outside air temperature calculating device finds an average value obtained by averaging temperatures detected by the outside air thermistor during the non-recording operation for a predetermined time, and judges a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the average value as the outside air temperature.

An over-stack protective portion is provided on a stopper member. When a sheet feeding device is in a standby position, the over-stack protective portion is held in a position in which the over-stack protective portion is in pressure contact with sheets having the maximum stacking height capable of being fed and supported by a sheet supporting portion. Also, when the sheets are to be fed, the pressure contact of the over-stack protective portion with the sheets having the maximum stacking height is released.
