After this, if motor further drives, along being rotated counterclockwise, then the side-prominent axle 108 in back moves crank gear 105 towards the rear, so pair of straight moving cam member 92 moves linkedly towards the rear in Figure 13.If crank gear 105 rotates about 180 degree from state shown in Figure 13, just return state shown in Figure 11, become each developer roll 39 and be urged state on the photosensitive drums 31 of correspondence.
As mentioned above, the handle 83 that on basket 36, has elastically deformable.The user can catch handle 83 that Delevoping cartridge 24 is installed on the toner cartridge unit 23 or with Delevoping cartridge 24 23 dismountings from the toner cartridge unit.Be configured in handle 83 elastic deformations under the state on the installation site at processing unit 18, handle 83 is housed in the very little space around the processing unit 18.Handle 83 can not hinder installation when processing unit 18 was installed on shell 2.
When processing unit 18 from extracting the position out when move the installation site, handle 83 carries out elastic deformation between upper wall 72 and back up pad 21.Elasticity (restoring force) by handle 83 presses against developer roll 39 on the photosensitive drums 31.Therefore, do not need to be provided in addition developer roll 39 is pressed against dipper crowding gear on the photosensitive drums 31, but the part number and the cost of cutting device.
When Delevoping cartridge 24 was replaced by new Delevoping cartridge 24, handle 83 also can upgrade.The elasticity of handle 83 is suitable, the sustainable good pushing state of 39 pairs of photosensitive drums of developer roll 31 of keeping.Therefore, can reasonably keep, continue to form high-quality image from the toner supply amount of developer roll 39 to photosensitive drums 31.
When changes such as the specification of toner and the specification of developer roll 39, can utilize to have the flexible material formation handle 83 corresponding with this specification.Its result, toner is reasonably supplied with photosensitive drums 31 from developer roll 39.But the electrostatic latent image that forms on photosensitive drums 31 can be formed high-quality image by videoization well.
Both ends at the left and right directions of basket 36 are provided with handle 83.The user catches 2 handles 83 with stable posture carrying Delevoping cartridge 24.The both ends that are provided with 2 handles 83 be developer roll 39 axially on both ends.Processing unit 18 is configured under the state on the installation site, by the elasticity of 2 handles 83, by basket 36 developer roll 39 is pressed against on the photosensitive drums 31.Therefore, can make from the quantity delivered of the toner of developer roll 39 photosensitive drums 31 axially on evenly.Its result, but can be with electrostatic latent image videoization more well.
On back up pad 21, be formed with the window that laser beam is seen through.The width of this window is littler than the axial width of rubber rollers 44, and is littler than the width of basket 36.Therefore, processing unit 18 can prevent that extracting out between position and the installation site when mobile handle 83 from passing through in the scope of window.Its result can prevent the window of making dirty, forms figure picture element preferable image.
Hole 87 connects on the thickness direction of handle 83, so make handle 83 elastic deformations easily.Can prevent further that handle 83 from hindering the installation of processing unit 18 on shell 2.
Handle 83 is along the installation direction/extraction direction setting of processing unit 18 opposite shell 2.Hole 87 with the direction of the installation direction/extraction direction quadrature of processing unit 18 on connect.Processing unit 18 is moved on installation direction/extraction direction, when handle 83 contacts with the lower surface of back up pad 21, can make handle 83 elastic deformations reliably.
