<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of distortion in an image forming apparatus, and to record/reproduce a faithful image. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is provided with a component supported by a frame FR having a front plate FR1 and a rear plate FR2 and also arranged so that the centroid position of the whole may be biased on one end side in a right and left direction, and the apparatus is provided with a pair of 1st downward-projecting members 21a and 21b projecting downward from the bottom of the frame FR on the one end side in the right and left direction and being parallel to the shaft of a photoreceptor, and a pair of 2nd downward-projecting members 22a and 22b projecting downward from the bottom of the frame FR on the other end side and being parallel to the shaft of the photoreceptor. The 1st downward-projecting members 21a and 21b are arranged in a position with a shorter distance to a centroid GO in the right and left direction and arranged under the side plates FR1 and FR2 in the vertical direction. The 2nd downward-projecting members 22a and 22b are arranged in a position with a longer distance to the centroid GO in the right and left direction and halfway between the pair of side plates FR1 and FR2, and arranged with an interval X2 of ≤ 1/4 as long as an interval X1 between the 1st downward-projecting members 21a and 21b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
