IMAGE FORMING UNIT AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accomplish a storage space saving, compact image forming unit with a handle. SOLUTION: A rectangular recessed part 201 is formed in a longitudinal direction on the rotational outer peripheral surface of a developing unit 35, and the handle 200 formed of a rectangular elastic thin plate is stored in the recessed part 201. Oblong holes 202 extending in the longitudinal direction of the handle 200 are formed at both ends of the handle 200, and each oblong hole 202 is engaged with a locking member 203 planted on the recessed part 201. The handle 200 is made in an energized state so as to be stored in the recessed part 201 by its own elasticity (not gripped).
