Abstract

Provided is an image forming apparatus and a holder. The image forming apparatus includes plural photosensitive drums; a belt which opposes the photosensitive drums; and a holder which collectively holds the photosensitive drums, and is movable between an outer position and an inner position. The holder includes a first handle unit which is provided at an upstream side, a second handle unit which is provided separately from the first handle unit at a downstream side, and an interfered portion which interferes with an apparatus main body. The second handle unit is movable between a protrusion position where the second handle unit protrudes from a top portion of the photosensitive drums and a retreat position where the second handle unit retreats therebelow. The interfered portion interferes with the apparatus main body to cause the second handle unit to be displaced from the protrusion position to the retreat position when the holder is mounted in the apparatus main body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a holding member that simultaneously holds a plurality of photosensitive drums and an image forming apparatus including the holding member. Background technique [0002] A conventional electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes: a plurality of photosensitive drums aligned in a predetermined alignment direction; an intermediate transfer belt disposed over the plurality of photosensitive drums; A holding member taken out from the device main body in the alignment direction (for example, see JP2010-282234A). Specifically, in this image forming apparatus, a handle is provided on the front wall surface of the holding member, and the user can hold the handle to take out the holding member from the main body of the apparatus. [0003] In order for the user to easily hold the handle when taking out the holding member from the main body of the device, it is preferable to provide a handle also on the rear wall side of ...
