<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus, capable of parting a photoreceptor from a transfer body with a simple configuration upon jam removal to effectively prevent the photoreceptor from damages, surely reducing the impact caused by the collisions between a regulation member of the development unit side and the photoreceptor and holding a developing roller on a regular position, and thereby permitting high-precision image formation. <P>SOLUTION: Only by removing the development unit 12 from a prescribed position in an image forming apparatus body 11 at jam processing, a transfer body moving means 28 allows the transfer roller 5 to move separated from the photoreceptor 4 coupled to the movement of the development unit 12. When the development unit 12 is loaded on the prescribed position in the image forming apparatus body 11, a slider spring 34 of the transfer body moving means 28 mitigates the impact caused by the collision between the regulation member 54 of the development unit 12 and the photoreceptor 4, and the developing roller 13 is held on the regular position by the slider spring 34. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
