Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a confirmation by an operator unnecessary and to allow a handle to automaticly stand up by allowing it to automatically stand up by rotating a handle along with a releasing action of a lid body through attraction between a magnet of the handle and a magnetic body of the lid body and retaining that standing state with a retaining means. CONSTITUTION:An iron plate 48 of the lid body 47 and the magnet 46 of the handle 42 of a developing device 5 are in a state of being attracted together when the lid body 47 is rotated upward to be released, and along with the releasing action of the lid body 47, the handle 42 is lifted upward. Because of this, the handle 42 is lifted up to a specified angle and is made to stand up, stopped by being abutted to a stopper 49, and the iron ball 45 is dropped along a long hole 44 with gravity retaining the standing up state of the handle 42, and after that, the handle 42 is held by the hand to bring it up in the upper direction to extract the developing device 5. Thus, since the handle 42 of the developing device 5 can be made to stand up by merely releasing the lid body 47, the procedure of standing up the handle 42 with the operator's hand by rotating it after confirming the position of the handle 42 becomes unnecessary, and the extracting procedure of the developing device 5 is facilitated.
