<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the force required for separating a latent image forming device from an image carrier. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming device (U) includes: an inclined member (31) having an inclined surface (32) inclined in a direction of approaching image carriers (PRy-PRk) as it goes toward one axial end, and biased in a direction of approaching the image carriers (PRy-PRk) via a biasing member (36). In the inclined member (31), when a moving member (11) moves to a positioning position, the inclined surface (32) pushes latent image forming devices (LHy-LHk) toward the image carriers (PRy-PRk) to push positioned parts (67, 68) against the positioning parts (71, 76a, 77a) with a biasing force of the biasing member (36), or when the moving member (11) moves to a release position, the pressing state is released. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
