<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and an image forming unit which are easily maintained, and to provide an image forming unit drawing method and an image forming unit attaching method. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus 10 includes: photoreceptors 52; and developing rolls 74 that develop latent images formed on the corresponding photoreceptors 52. A development opening 88 and an exhaust opening 90 are formed in each second housing 68 accommodating a corresponding developing roll 74. A developer present in a current of air exhausted from the exhaust opening 90 is filtered by a filter member 98 disposed in a recovery bottle 86. As an opening/closing cover 12a is closed, a projection 104 strikes against the filter member 98, filter member 98 vibrates, and the developer is caused to fall from the filter 98. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
