<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce falling-off of detecting sections when a supporting body is operated while detachably fixing the detecting sections to the supporting body. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming device (U) comprises: a supporting body (1) that detachably supports detecting sections (21 and 21') and is supported by a main body (U1) of the image forming device (U); a separating member (6) disposed spaced apart from the detecting sections (21 and 21'); a second portion to be coupled (8) disposed opposite to a first portion to be coupled (7) disposed among the separating member (6) and the detecting sections (21 and 21') with the detecting sections (21 and 21') interposed therebetween; a fixing member (51) that has first coupling portions (52 and 101a) supported by the first portion to be coupled (7) and second coupling portions (53 and 102a) supported by the second portion to be coupled (8) and fixes the detecting sections (21 and 21') to the supporting body (1); and falling-off limiting sections (31 and 31') that are disposed adjacent to the second coupling portions (53 and 102a) supported by the second portion to be coupled (8), and when external force is applied thereto, interfere with the second coupling portions (53 and 102a) and limit deformation of the fixing member (51). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
