Image forming apparatus having drum supporting member and belt

摘要

In an image forming apparatus, a drum supporting member integrally supports a plurality of photosensitive drums. A moving member detachably supports the drum support member. The moving member moves between a mounted position, in which the moving member is mounted in a main body of the image forming apparatus, and a pulled-out position, in which the moving member is pulled out of the main body of the image forming apparatus. A belt is disposed above the moving member and is capable of contacting with the plurality of photosensitive drums when the moving member is disposed in the mounted position. The drum supporting member is detached upward from the moving member when the moving member is in the pulled-out position. The drum supporting member rotatably supports each of the photosensitive drums.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a main body; a drum supporting member configured to integrally support a plurality of photosensitive drums; a moving member configured to detachably support the drum support member, the moving member being configured to move between a mounted position, in which the moving member is mounted in the main body, and a pulled-out position, in which the moving member is pulled out of the main body; and a belt that is disposed above the moving member and is configured so as to be capable of contacting with the plurality of photosensitive drums when the moving member is disposed in the mounted position; the drum supporting member being configured to be detached upward from the moving member when the moving member is in the pulled-out position, the drum supporting member rotatably supporting each of the photosensitive drum such that each photosensitive drum is movable upward and downward, and the drum supporting member being provided with a plurality of first urging members in one to one correspondence with the photosensitive drums, each particular first urging member being configured to urge the corresponding photosensitive drum downward.
