An image forming device, including: a housing; a drawer movable between an inside position at which the drawer is located inside the housing and an outside position at which the drawer is located outside the housing; a drum cartridge including a photoconductive drum and a developer roller and mountable on the drawer; a toner cartridge storing toner to be supplied to the developer roller and mountable on the drawer, wherein the drawer includes a first guide that guides the toner cartridge in mounting the toner cartridge on the drawer, and wherein the drum cartridge includes a second guide connected to the first guide in a state in which the drum cartridge is mounted on the drawer, the second guide being configured to guide the toner cartridge in mounting the toner cartridge on the drawer in the state in which the drum cartridge is mounted on the drawer.

An image forming apparatus includes a casing, a photosensitive member, an exposing device, a cartridge configured to be attached to and removed from the casing, a protruding portion protruding toward a removal path along which the cartridge is removed, and a guide portion disposed on the cartridge. The guide portion is configured to, when the cartridge is attached to the casing, guide a sheet toward the photosensitive member. The guide portion is movable relative to the cartridge between a guide position where the guide portion guides a sheet and a retracted position where the guide portion is retracted from the protruding portion when the cartridge is removed from the casing.

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a cartridge for forming a visible toner image. The cartridge includes a development chamber having a toner inlet through which toner is supplied into the development chamber, a development roller provided in the development chamber, and a supply roller provided in the development chamber that supplies toner to the development roller. The cartridge further includes a first toner transporting member that transports toner supplied through the toner inlet in an axial direction of the supply roller, and a toner supply guide that is disposed between the first toner transporting member and the supply roller and includes a slit which has a length in the axial direction and through which toner is dropped onto the supply roller. The toner supply guide is downwardly inclined in the axial direction.

A drum unit, to which a developer cartridge with a developer roller and a protrusion protruding in an axial direction of the developer roller is attachable, is provided. The drum unit includes a casing, a photosensitive drum to contact the developer roller, a first guide arranged to confront the protrusion along a direction orthogonal to the axial direction when the developer cartridge is attached to the casing to guide the protrusion, a second guide movable between a first position and a second position to guide the protrusion and arranged to confront the protrusion along the orthogonal direction when the developer cartridge is attached to the casing, and an urging member to urge the second guide in a direction from the first position toward the second position. The second guide includes a contact part to contact the first guide when the second guide is in the second position.

A photosensitive member unit includes a photosensitive member, a transfer roller, a mounting portion capable of mounting a development unit including a development roller, a first gear and a second gear each provided at one end of the photosensitive member in an axial direction of the photosensitive member, and a third gear provided at one end of the transfer roller in an axial direction of the photosensitive member and configured to engage with the second gear. The first gear, the second gear, and the third gear are helical gears. A direction in which helical teeth of the first gear are inclined is opposite to a direction in which helical teeth of the second gear are inclined, and the direction in which the helical teeth of the first gear are inclined matches a direction in which helical teeth of the third gear are inclined.

An image forming device, including: a housing; a drawer movable between an inside position at which the drawer is located inside the housing and an outside position at which the drawer is located outside the housing; a drum cartridge including a photoconductive drum and a developer roller and mountable on the drawer; a toner cartridge storing toner to be supplied to the developer roller and mountable on the drawer, wherein the drawer includes a first guide that guides the toner cartridge in mounting the toner cartridge on the drawer, and wherein the drum cartridge includes a second guide connected to the first guide in a state in which the drum cartridge is mounted on the drawer, the second guide being configured to guide the toner cartridge in mounting the toner cartridge on the drawer in the state in which the drum cartridge is mounted on the drawer.

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus may include a toner supply unit comprising a toner containing unit and a toner discharging unit having a toner outlet; a photoreceptor unit comprising a photoreceptor; a development unit comprising a development roller that supplies toner to develop the electrostatic latent image on the photoreceptor and a supply roller that supplies toner to the development roller; a first toner supply member that supplies toner of the toner containing unit to the toner discharging unit; and a second toner supply member that transports toner of the toner discharging unit to the toner outlet, wherein the first toner supply member is located in a second quadrant from among first through fourth quadrants based on a vertical line and a horizontal line which intersect at the second toner supply member, and wherein the photoreceptor, the supply roller, and the development roller are located in the fourth quadrant.

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes for example a toner supply unit including a toner containing unit and a toner discharging unit having a toner outlet; a photoreceptor unit including a photoreceptor; a development unit including a development roller that supplies toner to develop the electrostatic latent image on the photoreceptor and a supply roller that supplies toner to the development roller; a first toner supply member that supplies toner of the toner containing unit to the toner discharging unit; and a second toner supply member that transports toner of the toner discharging unit to the toner outlet. The first toner supply member is located in a second quadrant from among first through fourth quadrants based on a vertical line and a horizontal line which intersect at the second toner supply member, and the photoreceptor, the supply roller, and the development roller are located in the fourth quadrant.

A process cartridge comprises a photosensitive drum and a developing roller. A coupling member is provided adjacent to one axial end of the developing roller. The coupling member includes a driven portion, and an intermediary portion configured and positioned to engage with the driven portion. The intermediary portion is also configured to be movable relative to the driven portion in a direction crossing the axis of the developing roller while maintaining engagement with the driven portion. The coupling member further includes a driving portion configured and positioned to receive a driving force for rotating the developing roller. The driving portion is also configured to engage with the intermediary portion, and to be movable relative to the intermediary portion in a direction crossing the axis of the developing roller while maintaining engagement with the intermediary portion.
