PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which operability of a movable member is improved.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes: an opening/closing member which moves with respect to an apparatus body and by which an interior of the apparatus body can be opened; and a holding part for holding the opening/closing member. The opening/closing member is movable between a first position and a second position. In the image forming apparatus, supposing that a position between the first position and the second position is set to a third position, when the opening/closing member is moved from the third position toward the second position, the opening/closing member moves at least in a vertical downward direction, and when the opening/closing member is moved from the third position toward the first position, the opening/closing member moves at least in a vertical upward direction. The holding part holds the movable member so that a force required for starting movement of the opening/closing member from the third position to the second position becomes larger than a force required for starting movement of the opening/closing member from the third position to the first position. |
