<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device configured to prevent damage to an electric substrate interposed between a cover and a frame. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of elastic members 42-44 are arranged between at least two regulation members 46. An initial load of the elastic members 42-45 located closer to the center between the regulation members is set smaller. Even if an external force is applied to a casing cover 25 to significantly deform the casing cover 25, and the casing cover 25 comes into contact with the electric substrate 41, the elastic members 42-45 receive the external force. While the elastic members 42-45 receive the external force, the electric substrate 41 can be deformed moderately into a catenary shape along the natural deflection of the electric substrate 41. The external force to be applied to the electric substrate 41 is distributed to the whole of the electric substrate 41, thereby preventing damage to the electric substrate 41. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
