A photosensitive cartridge detachably attachable to a main body of an image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, an attachment region provided to detachably attach a developing cartridge having a developing member for developing a latent image formed on the photosensitive member, and a grip member configured to be gripped at a time when the photosensitive cartridge is attached to and detached from the main body of the image forming apparatus, the grip member being movable between a first position at which the grip member enters the attachment region in a case where the developing cartridge is not attached to the photosensitive cartridge, and a second position at which the grip member retracts from the attachment region in a case where the developing cartridge is attached to the photosensitive cartridge.

An image forming unit includes a cartridge and a unit frame. The cartridge has a cartridge-grip. The unit frame is configured to accommodate the cartridge. The unit frame includes a first plate, a second plate, a first beam, and a second beam. The first plate has a through hole. The first beam extends between the first plate and the second plate. The first beam includes a frame-grip disposed between an upper end of the first beam and a lower end of the first beam. The second beam extends between the first plate and the second plate. When the cartridge is accommodated in the unit frame, a distance between the lower end of the first beam and an upper end of the frame-grip is smaller than a distance between the lower end of the first beam and an upper end of the cartridge-grip.

An image forming apparatus includes a main body and at least one handle unit disposed on the main body. The handle unit includes a fixing bracket disposed on the main body and having a stop portion, a hinge shaft disposed on the fixing bracket, a handle member disposed to rotate with respect to the fixing bracket by the hinge shaft, a hook formed at an end of the handle member, and a hook catching portion formed on the main body, the hook catching portion to which the hook is caught. The hook is caught to the hook catching portion by weight of the handle member.

Image forming apparatuses include: a casing; an image forming unit removable from the casing in a first direction; and plural developer cartridges. The cartridges may be attached and detached with respect to the image forming unit in a second direction that is inclined toward the first direction. Other image forming apparatuses include: a casing; an exposure device; a plurality of cartridges configured to be attached and detached with respect to the casing in a first direction; and a recording medium transport system for transporting recording media adjacent the photosensitive members in a second direction. The first direction may be inclined with respect to the second direction, and at least a portion of optical paths of the light emitted from the exposure device may extend parallel with the first direction. Aspects also relate to image forming units, e.g., for use in image forming apparatuses as described above.

An image-forming device includes a main body and a tandem photosensitive-member unit. The tandem photosensitive-member unit includes a unit frame, a plurality of photosensitive members, a front-side grip part, and a rear-side grip. The unit frame is configured to be slidably installed to and removed from the main body in a predetermined direction. The unit frame has a leading side and a trailing side with respect to the predetermined direction. The plurality of photosensitive members is provided corresponding to a plurality of colors and is supported by the unit frame. The front-side grip part is provided at the leading side of the unit frame. The rear-side grip part is provided at the trailing side of the unit frame.
