Attachment mechanism of optical scanning device and image forming apparatus including this attachment mechanism

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an attachment mechanism of an optical scanning device,
• wherein the attachment mechanism of the optical scanning device includes:
• a frame body including a supporting base to which the optical scanning device is assembled;
• and
• a position fixing member arranged between the optical scanning device and the supporting base when assembling the optical scanning device,
• the supporting base includes a pair of engaging parts arranged separately from each other on its upper face,
• the position fixing member includes an erection plate and a first supporting plate and a second supporting plate formed perpendicular to the erection plate and extended from upper and lower end parts of the erection plate in opposite directions to each other,
• one of the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate includes a fitted hole into which a positioning boss protruded on a lower face of the optical scanning device is fitted,
• the first supporting plate includes a plurality of first engaged parts arranged at predetermined intervals,
• the second supporting plate includes a plurality of second engaged parts arranged at predetermined intervals,
• the position fixing member is attached to the upper face of the supporting base by engaging one of the plurality of first engaged parts and one of the plurality of second engaged parts with the pair of engaging parts, and configured so as to change a plane position of the fitted hole in accordance with engaging positions of the pair of engaging parts with the plurality of first engaged parts and the plurality of second engaged parts and to change a height of the fitted hole by inverting the position fixing member.
