<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a retaining member to which a toner box is attached from being contained in an apparatus body of an image forming apparatus while an opening section is closed by a shutter. <P>SOLUTION: A drawer unit 3 is provided to be movable between a housed position in which the drawer unit is housed in a body casing 2, and a pulled-out position in which it is pulled out from inside the apparatus body. A drawer frame 21 retains a plurality of toner boxes 11. The toner boxes 11 are provided with shutters 73. The shutters 73 are moved between opened positions and closed positions by operations of operating members 32. When the shutter 73 is positioned in the closed position, the operating member 32 is positioned in a first position. A body-side interference section 117 is provided inside the body casing 2. When the drawer unit 3 is moved from the pulled-out position to the housed position in a state in which the operating member 32 is in the first position, the drawer frame 21 and the body-side interference section 117 interfere with each other in the middle of movement, and the movement of the drawer unit 3 is stopped. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
