An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body having an image forming part that forms an image on a recording medium and a medium storage part in which a recording medium to be supplied to the image forming part is stored; and a front opening/closing covering that is an openable and closable covering that covers at least a part of the image forming part and a part of the medium storage part on a front face of the apparatus body, wherein the front opening/closing covering is constituted by a single opening/closing covering that covers at least a range from one end to the other end in a left-right direction of the part of the medium storage part in a left-right direction of the apparatus body.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes a placing portion onto which a recording medium having an image formed is to be placed, and an opening-closing member that covers an opening provided at least at one side face of the placing portion and automatically opens the opening with a predetermined timing.
OPENING-CLOSING MEMBER OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An opening-closing member of an image forming apparatus includes: an external opening-closing member that configurates a part of an outer surface of the image forming apparatus and that is openable and closable; an internal opening-closing member that faces an inner surface of the external opening-closing member and that is openable and closable together with the external opening-closing member; and a container that defines a containment space by protruding from the internal opening-closing member toward the external opening-closing member and that enables a member contained in the containment space to be taken out when the external opening-closing member and the internal opening-closing member are opened.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes a first exterior cover provided on a front surface of the image forming apparatus so as to be openable and closable, a second exterior cover provided on a side surface of the image forming apparatus, a third exterior cover fixed on a front surface side of the image forming apparatus and above the first exterior cover in a vertical direction, and a fan configured to suck outside air through a gap formed between the first exterior cover and the second exterior cover. In a state where the first exterior cover is closed, the gap formed between the first exterior cover and the second exterior cover is larger than a gap formed between the third exterior cover and the second exterior cover.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a fixing unit, a plurality of exterior covers forming an exterior of the image forming apparatus, a fan configured to suck outside air into the image forming apparatus through an air intake port, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the outside air sucked by the fan, and a partition member disposed upstream the temperature sensor and downstream the air intake port in an airflow generated by the fan, the partition member dividing an air intake path through which the outside air sucked through the air intake port passes into a first path passing through a fixing unit side and a second path passing through a temperature sensor side.
Opening-closing member of image forming apparatus and image forming apparatus
An opening-closing member of an image forming apparatus includes: an external opening-closing member that configurates a part of an outer surface of the image forming apparatus and that is openable and closable; an internal opening-closing member that faces an inner surface of the external opening-closing member and that is openable and closable together with the external opening-closing member; and a container that defines a containment space by protruding from the internal opening-closing member toward the external opening-closing member and that enables a member contained in the containment space to be taken out when the external opening-closing member and the internal opening-closing member are opened.
Image forming apparatus
An image forming apparatus includes a drawer and a main body. The drawer includes a drawer-side electrical contact part and a socket. The main body includes a main body-side connector including: a main body-side electrical contact part; and a holder including a base, a panel, and an elastic member interposed between the base and the panel. The holder holds the main body-side electrical contact part to be movable in an intersection direction intersecting with an extension and contraction direction of the elastic member. When the holder contacts the socket, the panel moves relative to the base in the intersection direction together with the main body side-electrical contact part, and the main body side-electrical contact part and drawer-side electrical contact part are in contact with each other.
Image forming apparatus including drum cartridge and development cartridge
One of two walls apart from each other in a first direction has an opening. A drum cartridge includes a photosensitive drum rotatable about a drum axis extending in the first direction when the drum cartridge is attached to a housing. The drum cartridge is movable through the opening between a first position at which an entirety of the drum cartridge is located inside the housing and a second position at which at least part of the drum cartridge is located outside the housing. The development cartridge includes a development roller rotatable about an axis extending in the first direction. The development cartridge is unattachable to and undetachable from the drum cartridge in a state where the drum cartridge is located at the first position. The development cartridge is attachable to and detachable from the drum cartridge in a state where the drum cartridge is located at the second position.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes a transfer unit, a fixing unit, a reverse rotary member pair, a first conveyance path, a second conveyance path, an opening and closing member, a first guide member, a second guide member, and a dividing member. The second guide member is supported by the opening and closing member. The second guide member forms an inserted portion where the case of the fixing unit is inserted and another side of guide surfaces of the second conveyance path. The second guide member forms one side of guide surfaces of the first conveyance path in a state where the opening and closing member is in a closed position. The dividing member, in the state where the opening and closing member is in the closed position, divides a gap formed between the second guide member and the case inserted into the inserted portion from the second conveyance path.
