The first toner cartridge includes a cartridge housing and a first shutter movable between a first closed position and a first open position. The cartridge housing includes one end portion and the other end portion. The cartridge housing is rotatable between a first position at which the first shutter is positioned at the first closed position and a second position at which the first shutter is positioned at the first open position. When the cartridge housing moves from the second position to the first position, the one end portion of the cartridge housing comes close to the second toner cartridge and the other end portion of the cartridge housing goes away from the second toner cartridge.

Provided is an image forming device includes a top plate that is part of a case of a body of the image forming device. An opening is formed on the top plate, and the opening is processed by burring.

An image forming apparatus includes a frame having a first metal plate and a second metal plate where the first metal plate has a recess portion. The frame supports an image forming member that forms an image on a sheet. The first metal plate and the second metal plate are positioned to each other and an adhesive is in a space formed between the recess portion and the second metal plate. The space is such that it receives the adhesive by injection.

A metal frame of an image forming apparatus including a first support which includes a first metal plate; a second support; and a third support which includes a second metal plate, wherein either the first metal plate or the second metal plate includes a through-hole formed in a surface portion, the other of the first metal plate and the second metal plate includes an insertion portion, a first facing portion configured to face a first surface of the surface portion, and a second facing portion configured to face a second surface of the surface portion, and wherein in the plate thickness direction of the surface portion, a distance between a tip portion of the insertion portion of the one metal plate and the second facing portion is smaller than a plate thickness of the surface portion of the other metal plate.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material, a first metal plate and a second metal plate that face each other to sandwich the image forming unit, and a third metal plate that is located between the first metal plate and the second metal plate and is joined to the first metal plate and the second metal plate. The first metal plate and the third metal plate are welded together at a plurality of welding positions, an adhesive is applied to between the first metal plate and the third metal plate in a range sandwiched between two welding positions of the plurality of welding positions in a region where the first metal plate and the third metal plate are in contact with each other, and the first metal plate and the third metal plate are thereby joined together.

An embossed component for positioning an article having a through hole includes a planar portion and an embossed portion projecting from a surface of the planar portion. The embossed portion is tapered toward a tip side and to be fitted into the through hole. The embossed portion includes a straight base end portion continuous with the planar portion and extending vertically with respect to the planar portion toward the tip side of the embossed portion, and an opening is at a tip of the embossed portion.

A drawer includes: a photosensitive drum rotatable about a drum axis extending in an axial direction; and a frame to which a developing cartridge including a developing roller is attachable. The developing cartridge is attachable to the frame in a state where an outer circumferential surface of the developing roller faces an outer circumferential surface of the photosensitive drum. The frame is configured to move the developing roller in a separation direction in which the outer circumferential surface of the developing roller moves away from the outer circumferential surface of the photosensitive drum. The frame includes a first guide roller for guiding the developing cartridge in the axial direction. The first guide roller is configured to move the developing cartridge in the separation direction relative to the frame in response to the movement in the axial direction of the developing cartridge relative to the frame.

An image forming apparatus includes a first process unit, a second process unit, a first toner cartridge, and a second toner cartridge. The first toner cartridge includes a cartridge housing and a first shutter movable between a first closed position and a first open position. The cartridge housing includes one end portion and the other end portion. The cartridge housing is rotatable between a first position at which the first shutter is positioned at the first closed position and a second position at which the first shutter is positioned at the first open position. When the cartridge housing moves from the second position to the first position, the one end portion of the cartridge housing comes close to the second toner cartridge and the other end portion of the cartridge housing goes away from the second toner cartridge.

An image forming apparatus includes a process unit and a toner cartridge. The toner cartridge includes a cartridge housing having a first shutter and a second shutter. The process unit includes a conveying tube. The cartridge housing is movable between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position in which (a) the first shutter is positioned at a first open position, (b) the second shutter is positioned at a second open position, and (c) a second opening is aligned with the conveying tube in a second direction. The second position is a position in which (a) the first shutter is positioned at a first closed position, (b) the second shutter is positioned at a second closed position, (c) the second opening is spaced apart from the conveying tube, and (d) the toner cartridge is mountable and removable on and from the process unit.

An image forming apparatus includes the following: an image forming portion; a first metal side plate and a second metal side plate provided opposite each other with respect to the image forming portion; an antenna for communicating with external equipment; a housing including a top cover that is provided above the first metal side plate and the second metal side plate in a vertical direction, and a side cover that is provided on an outer side opposite to an inner side where the image forming portion is provided with respect to the first metal side plate, wherein the image forming apparatus further includes a support member provided on the first metal side plate, the support member including a housing support portion that supports at least one of the top cover and the side cover, and an antenna support portion that supports the antenna.
