Abstract
An image forming device includes a fixed frame, a slide frame, a head supporting frame, a cam structure, and an operation body. The fixed frame is arranged adjacent to a photosensitive body. The slide frame is supported in a slidable manner along a first axis line by the fixed frame. The head supporting frame is supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame, and supports an exposure head. The cam structure converts an operation in which the slide frame slides to an operation in which the head supporting frame slides. The operation body moves the exposure head between a separated position and a proximate position by sliding the slide frame.
Claims16
An image forming device comprising:
- a fixed frame fixed to a chassis and arranged adjacent to a photosensitive body;
- a slide frame supported in a slidable manner along a first axis line by the fixed frame;
- a head supporting frame for supporting an exposure head, the head supporting frame being supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame;
- a cam structure for converting an operation in which the slide frame slides along the first axis line to an operation in which the head supporting frame slides along the second axis line;
- and
- a toner container that is freely attachable to and detachable from the chassis, the toner container moving the exposure head supported by the head supporting frame between a separated position and a proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body by sliding the slide frame by being attached to or detached from the chassis,
- wherein the exposure head is moved to the proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body when the toner container is attached to the chassis.

- a head supporting frame for supporting an exposure head, the head supporting frame being supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame;
- a cam structure, arranged between the slide frame and the head supporting frame, for converting an operation in which the slide frame slides along the first axis line to an operation in which the head supporting frame slides along the second axis line;
- and
- a toner container that is freely attachable to and detachable from the chassis, the toner container moving the exposure head supported by the head supporting frame from one side to the other side of a separated position and a proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body by sliding the slide frame by being attached to and detached from the chassis,
- wherein the exposure head is moved to the proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body when the toner container is attached to the chassis.

- a head supporting frame for supporting an exposure head, the head supporting frame being supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame;
- a passive cam arranged in a projecting manner on the head supporting frame;
- an operation cam arranged in a projecting manner on the slide frame and brought into contact with the passive cam;
- and
- a toner container that is freely attachable to and detachable from the chassis, the toner container changing a contacting mode of the operation cam and the passive cam by sliding the slide frame by being attached to and detached from the chassis, and moving the exposure head supported by the head supporting frame from one side to the other side of a separated position and a proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body by changing the contacting mode,
- wherein the exposure head is moved to the proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body when the toner container is attached to the chassis.
