Photosensitive unit and electrophotographic image forming apparatus including the same

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a photosensitive medium on which an electrostatic latent image is formed;
• developing units developing the electrostatic latent image into visible images by supplying developers onto the electrostatic latent image of the photosensitive medium;
• a transfer medium on which the visible image is transferred;
• and
• a photosensitive unit including the photosensitive medium, a frame supporting the photosensitive medium, and a cover covering an exposed portion of an outer circumference of the photosensitive medium;
• and
• a handle rotatably connected to the frame to be rotatable within an angular range with respect to the frame, a grip portion on the handle to be gripped by a user, and a cover opening and closing unit to open and close the cover to cover a larger part of the exposed portion on the photosensitive medium as the handle rotates and the grip portion is moved away from the frame;
• wherein the cover opening and closing unit includes a connecting member rotatably coupled to a rotary shaft of the photosensitive medium.

A photosensitive unit, comprising:

• a photosensitive medium;
• a frame supporting the photosensitive medium;
• and
• a cover covering an exposed portion of an outer circumference of the photosensitive medium, the cover having a first portion to cover a first exposed portion and a second portion to cover a second exposed portion, and one end of each of the first and second cover portions is fixed to the frame.
