发明名称 Image forming apparatus with transport devices having differing configurations
摘要 An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body; plural developing devices arranged in a first direction in the apparatus body; plural developer housing containers that are arranged in a second direction intersecting with the first direction and house developers to be respectively supplied to the developing devices; plural transport devices that respectively transport the developers to the developing devices from the developer housing containers; an intermediate transfer; and a transfer device. The developing devices include a first developing device located near the transfer device, and a second developing device located farther from the transfer device than the first developing device. The transport devices include first and second transport devices that respectively transports developers to the first and second developing devices. A transport distance of the developer transported the first transport is larger than that of the developer transported by the second transport device.

主权项 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an apparatus body; opening/closing portion that is openable and closable with respect to the apparatus body; a plurality of developing devices arranged in a first direction in the apparatus body; a plurality of developer housing containers that house developers to be respectively supplied to the plurality of developing devices, the plurality of developer housing containers being arranged in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; a plurality of transport devices that respectively transport the developers to the plurality of developing devices respectively corresponding to the plurality of developer housing containers from the plurality of developer housing containers; an intermediate transfer body on which developer images developed by the plurality of developing devices are transferred; and a transfer device that transfers the developer images from the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium, wherein the plurality of developing devices include a first developing device located near the transfer device, anda second developing device located farther from the transfer device than the first developing device, and wherein the plurality of transport devices include a first transport device that transports a developer to the first developing device, anda second transport device that transports a developer to the second developing device, wherein a transport distance by which the first transport device transports the developer is larger than a transport distance by which the second transport device transports the developer, wherein the plurality of developer housing containers are attached to and detached from the apparatus body through an open portion formed when the opening/closing portion is opened, and wherein a first angle between the first transport device and the first developing device is different from a second angle between the second transport device and the second developing device.
