An image forming apparatus may include a photosensitive member, a developing device including a developing roller, pressing members configured to engage with the developing device and springs configured to urge the pressing members. In some examples, each of the pressing members may be configured to contact and move the developing device between various positions based on the urging of the springs. Additionally or alternatively, various ends of a contact surface of the developing roller configured to contact developer may be disposed relative to an axis line of the developing roller and pressing surfaces of the pressing members.

An image forming apparatus includes a housing having an opening, a cover movable between an open position and a closed position, a first photoconductive drum and a second photoconductive drum, a first exposing head having a first boss and rotatably coupled to the cover, a second exposing head having a second boss and rotatably coupled to the cover, and a cam rotatably coupled to each of the first exposing head and the second exposing head. The cam is configured to rotate each of the first exposing head and the second exposing head. The cam includes (i) a first elongated hole into which the first boss fits and extending a direction intersecting a movement direction in which the cam moves and (ii) a second elongated hole into which the second boss fits and extending in a direction intersecting the movement direction of the cam.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes an opening/closing unit including a stacking portion, a moving unit including a feed roller and a moving member supporting the feed roller, an urging portion, and a transmitting portion configured to transmit urging force of the urging portion to the moving member. The opening/closing unit is configured to press and move the moving unit in the second direction against the urging force while the opening/closing unit moves from the open position to the closed position. A force that the opening/closing unit receives from the moving unit in a state where the opening/closing unit is at the closed position is smaller than a maximum force that the opening/closing unit receives from the moving unit that is urged in the first direction by the urging portion while the opening/closing unit moves from the open position to the closed position.

A sheet feeding device includes a door movable between an opened position and a closed position relative to an apparatus body, a stacking portion for a sheet, a cover portion configured to be situated at a first position when the door is situated at the opened position and to be situated at a second position when the door is situated at the closed position, and a moving unit including a feeding roller and a moving member supporting the feeding roller. The moving member is movable with respect to the stacking portion in a first direction in which the feeding roller comes close to the stacking portion and in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. In a state in which the cover portion is situated at the first position, the moving unit is situated between the cover portion and the door.

An image forming apparatus includes a casing, an image forming unit, an outer cover, a first inner cover arranged to face an inner side of the outer cover in a closed state, the first inner cover being made of resin, a second inner cover arranged to face the inner side of the outer cover in the closed state, the second inner cover being made of resin, a first fan, and a second fan. The first inner cover includes a first duct configured to guide air taken in from an exterior of the image forming apparatus by rotation of the first fan to the image forming unit. The second inner cover includes a second duct configured to guide air taken in from the exterior of the image forming apparatus by rotation of the second fan to the image forming unit.

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body including a main contact, and a main guide, and a cartridge including a memory contact, a moving unit moving into and out of the apparatus body in a first direction and including a frame to which the cartridge is attached, first and second protrusions protruding in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction from the end surface of the frame, an intermediate contact being in electrical contact with the memory contact, an unit contact being in electrical contact with the main contact, and a line conductor, the first protrusion being supported by the main guide of the apparatus body, the second protrusion being located above the first protrusion. At least part of the line conductor connecting the intermediate contact and the unit contact is located in a recess formed by the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the end surface.

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body to which a cartridge is detachably attached. The apparatus main body includes a frame having an opening portion through which the cartridge is attached to the apparatus main body; an opening and closing member supported by the frame rotatably between an open position in which the opening portion is exposed and a closed position in which the opening portion is covered with the opening and closing member and having a stacking surface on which a sheet is to be stacked; a discharging roller discharging the sheet in a discharging direction onto the stacking surface; and a regulating wall which is movably attached to the opening and closing member and extends from the stacking surface toward the discharging roller in a direction intersecting the discharging direction to regulate an upstream edge of the sheet in the discharging direction.

A process cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a developing roller, a drum unit containing the drum, a developing unit containing the roller and being movable so the roller contacts and is spaced from the drum, and a first force receiver receiving a force from a main-assembly first force applier by movement of a door from open to closed positions when mounting the cartridge and a second force receiver movable from a stand-by position by movement of the first force receiver by a force received from the first force applier. The second force receiver takes a projected position receiving a force from the second force applier to move the developing unit so the roller moves out of contact with the drum, the projected position being higher than the stand-by position.

A driving device includes a driving source, a fixing portion to which the driving source is fixed, a first transmission portion attached to the fixing portion to transmit a driving force from the driving source, a second transmission portion engaged with the first transmission portion while having an intermeshing width in a first direction to receive the driving force from the first transmission portion, a mount portion located in the first direction from the fixing portion and to which the second transmission portion is attached, a fastening portion including a mounted portion disposed on a side of the fixing portion opposite to a side facing the mount portion, the fastening portion fastening the fixing portion and the mount portion to each other, a first cushioning member disposed between the mounted portion and the fixing portion, and a second cushioning member disposed between the fixing portion and the mount portion, and having a greater spring constant than the first cushioning member.

An image forming apparatus including: a first door rotatable about a first rotation axis extending in a width direction within a first rotation range between a first open position and a first closed position; a second door provided below the first door and rotatable about a second rotation axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the first rotation axis within a second rotation range between a second open position and a second closed position, a part of the first rotation range making inroads into the second rotation range; and a retracting portion configured to rotate the first door to a retracted position to allow a rotation of the second door in conjunction with the second door being rotated to the second closed position from a state in which the first door is in the first open position and the second door is in the second open position.
