1. An image forming device comprising
a main casing providing a fulcrum part and having a front portion and a rear portion opposite the front portion in a horizontal direction; and a cartridge support member configured to support a plurality of cartridges and to be movable among an internal position in which the cartridge support member is accommodated in the main casing, an external position in which the cartridge support member is pulled outside the main casing through the front portion, and a cartridge mounting position, the cartridge support member being slidable in a pulled-out direction from the internal position to the external position, the cartridge support member being pivotable between the external position and the cartridge mounting position, the plurality of cartridges being arranged in a first predetermined direction, each of the plurality of cartridges including a photosensitive drum having an axis extending in an axial direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction, the cartridge support member having an upstream portion and a downstream portion disposed downstream of the upstream portion in the first predetermined direction that is aligned with the pulled-out direction when the cartridge support member is disposed in the internal position, the cartridge support member pivoting about the fulcrum part positioned closer to the upstream portion than the downstream portion when the cartridge support member moves from the external position to the cartridge mounting position, wherein the main casing includes a guide part configured to support the cartridge support member and to guide movement of the cartridge support member between the internal position and the external position, the guide part including:
an upper guide surface extending in a direction parallel to the pulled-out direction; anda lower guide surface disposed below the upper guide surface and extending parallel to the upper guide surface, wherein the pulled out direction is a diagonal direction relative to and different than the horizontal direction, and the upper surface and the lower surface are sloped in the diagonal direction, and wherein the cartridge support member further has:
a front grip provided on the downstream portion;a rear grip protruding from the upstream portion in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to both the first predetermined direction and the axial direction; anda contact part provided on the upstream portion and configured to contact the fulcrum part when the cartridge support member moves from the external position to the cartridge mounting position, the contact part and the rear grip being arranged in the second predetermined direction as viewed in the axial direction. |
