PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily attach/detach a photoreceptor unit without removing a process element from a supporting member by providing a movable member which incorporates the process element located in an attaching/detaching path and is operated to displace between specific positions. SOLUTION: A discharge lamp (process element) 20 is located to face a photoreceptor 1 in the attaching/detaching path of the photoreceptor unit 11, in a state where the unit 11 is loaded and set in the image forming position of an image forming device main body. Then, the movable member 30 incorporates the discharge lamp 20 and is operated to turn/displace between a operation position A where the lamp 20 fulfills its original function at a position facing the photoreceptor 1 and a retreat position B where the lamp 20 is out of its attaching/detaching path. Therefore, it is unnecessary that the lamp 20 is removed from the supporting member every time the unit 11 is attached/detached and the movable member 30 is merely turned to the retreat position B. Further, the lamp 20 is covered with the movable member 30 so that toner, dust, etc., never sticks to the discharge lamp. |
