Image-forming device having holder unit for toner box

摘要

An image forming device includes: a main casing; a holder unit; a plurality of image bearing members; a plurality of developing units; a plurality of toner boxes; a first acting portion; a second acting portion; and an abutment member. The main casing defines an accommodation space. The holder unit is configured to be movable in a moving direction between an accommodated position in which the holder unit is accommodated in the accommodation space and a pull-out position in which at least part of the holder unit is outside the accommodation space. The plurality of image bearing members are held by the holder unit and are juxtaposedly arrayed in the moving direction with intervals between neighboring image bearing members. The plurality of developing units are held by the holder unit in one to one correspondence with the plurality of image bearing members. The plurality of toner boxes are detachably attachable to the holder unit in one to one correspondence with the plurality of developing units. Each toner box is detachably attachable to the holder unit at the pull-out position. Each toner box includes: a toner container accommodating therein toner and formed with an opening through which toner in the toner container is to be supplied to the corresponding developing unit; and a shutter movable between an open position for opening the opening and a closed position for closing the opening. The first acting portion is provided at the holder unit and is configured to be movable between a first position providing the open position of the shutter and a second position providing the closed position of the shutter. The second acting portion is provided at the holder unit and is configured to be movable between a third position providing the open position of the shutter and a fourth position providing the closed position of the shutter. The abutment member is provided in the main casing and configured to allow the first acting portion to abut against the abutment member when the holder unit is on its way to the accommodated position from the pull-out position while the first acting portion is at the second position, to thereby move the first acting portion to the first position, and to allow the second acting portion to abut against the abutment member when the holder unit is on its way to the pull-out position from the accommodated position while the second acting portion is at the third position, to thereby move the second acting portion to the fourth position.
