COLOR IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color image recording device which can be miniaturized by simplifying the constitution of a toner image forming part including a photoreceptor and a developing unit. SOLUTION: The recording device is provided with a supporting body where image forming units 1Bk, 1C, 1M and 1Y with a developer hopper and a photoreceptor 9 integrally formed are aggregated and arranged so that the wall surfaces of one unit faces the wall surfaces of another two adjacent image forming units and also the units are adjacently arranged in a nearly circular state forming a shaft 13 at the central part of the body. The supporting body is provided with a mirror 5 for reflecting exposure laser light and exposing the photoreceptor 9 in the inside of the cylindrical shaft 31. Thus, the efficiency in storing each image forming unit is enhanced. Besides, the mirror 5 is arranged at the inside of the shaft 31 so that the occupancy volume is made smaller than that in the case of arranging the mirror 5 in a position other than the supporting body and the miniaturization of the device is attained.
