Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a pair of support frames, an opening and closing door and a positioning structure. The pair of support frames are arranged oppositely at both sides of an opening. The opening and closing door is supported by one of the pair of support frames via a turning shaft and turns around the turning shaft between a closing position where the opening and closing door closes the opening and an opening position where the opening and closing door opens the opening. The positioning structure positions the opening and closing door to the pair of support frames by engaging a convex part or a concave part provided in the pair of support frames with a concave part or a convex part provided in the opening and closing door in a state where the opening and closing door is turned to the closing position.

An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a pair of support frames arranged oppositely at both sides of an opening;
- an opening and closing door supported by one of the pair of support frames via a turning shaft and turning around the turning shaft between a closing position where the opening and closing door closes the opening to form a part of a conveying path for a sheet and an opening position where the opening and closing door opens the opening;
- and
- a positioning structure positioning the opening and closing door to the pair of support frames by engaging a convex part or a concave part provided in the pair of support frames with a concave part or a convex part provided in the opening and closing door in a state where the opening and closing door is turned to the closing position,
- wherein the positioning structure includes:
- a first concave part provided in one of the one support frame and the opening and closing door;
- a first convex part provided in the other of the one support frame and the opening and closing door and inserted in the first concave part in the state where the opening and closing door is turned to the closing position;
- a second concave part provided in one of the other support frame and the opening and closing door;
- and
- a second convex part provided in the other of the other support frame and the opening and closing door and inserted in the second concave part in the state where the opening and closing door is turned to the closing position.
