<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which enables a cooling fan to cool an object to be cooled even if there is no space to provide a duct or the like between an outlet of the air current generator (cooling fan) and the object to be cooled. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is provided with the air current generator (cooling fan 52) for cooling an part to be cooled(toner boxes 51) in a housing (the apparatus main body 2). The outlet 52a of the cooling fan 52 and the toner boxes 51 are connected by air introducing parts (flexible tubes 53 to 56), respectively. This makes it possible to connect the cooling fan 52 to the toner boxes 51 even if there is not sufficient space, thereby enabling cooling of the toner boxes 51. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
