<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate mounting of a process cartridge in a structure in which the process cartridge is inserted from the side opposite to the exposure surface of an LED head. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming device (color printer 1) comprises: a process cartridge 42 having a photoreceptor drum 42A and a developing device 42B; an exposure member (LED unit 41) for forming an electrostatic latent image on the photoreceptor drum 42A; and a pair of supporting members (a side wall 61 of a drawer 60) for supporting the exposure member and detachably supporting the process cartridge 42. Each supporting member is provided with a pivotally supporting part 611A for pivotally supporting the process cartridge 42, and when mounted on the supporting member, the process cartridge 42 is configured to rotate around a position in which the photoreceptor drum 42A faces an exposure surface 411A of the exposure member by turning around the pivotally supporting part 611A. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
