Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a photoconductive body;
• a light source including a plurality of light emitting elements arranged along a first direction;
• a lens positioned to focus light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements at a focal position;
• a light housing configured to hold the light source and the lens;
• a first fulcrum;
• a second fulcrum spaced from the first fulcrum in the first direction, the light housing being configured to selectively engage the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum, the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum being positioned such that a surface of the photoconductive body is positioned at the focal position when the light housing engages the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum;
• a stay positioned to support the light housing at two or more points between the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum;
• and
• a repositioning mechanism positioned to apply a force in a second direction that is different than the first direction, the force biasing the light housing in the second direction, the repositioning mechanism including:
• a support coupled to the stay;
• a biaser positioned between the support and the light housing, the biaser configured to apply the force to the light housing;
• a pulley coupled to the support;
• a winder;
• a wire extending from the stay, around the pulley, and to the winder;
• and
• a lever pivotable between (i) a first position to provide a first orientation of the repositioning mechanism and (ii) a second position to wind the wire around the winder to reposition the stay and the light housing to provide a second orientation of the repositioning mechanism;
• the light housing being configured to press against the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum when the repositioning mechanism is in the first orientation;
• and
• the light housing being spaced from the first fulcrum and the second fulcrum when the repositioning mechanism is in the second orientation.
