Description

本発明の請求項１に係る画像形成装置は、画像を形成するのに用いられる機能部材を備え、画像を形成する画像形成部と、前記画像形成部の一側面側に設けられた第一の側壁と、前記画像形成部を挟んで前記第一の側壁と対向するように、当該画像形成部に対して前記第一の側壁側とは反対側の側面側に設けられた第二の側壁と、一端が前記第一の側壁に固定されると共に他端が前記第二の側壁に固定され、当該側壁間を掛け渡された掛け渡し部材であって、当該側壁間において当該側壁に直交する異なる二面を構成するように当該側壁間を掛け渡されたL字状の部位を有する前記掛け渡し部材と、一端が前記第一の側壁に固定されると共に他端が前記第二の側壁に固定され、当該側壁間で前記機能部材を支持する支持部材と、を備え、前記支持部材は、前記第一の側壁及び前記第二の側壁へ取り付けられた取付範囲の少なくとも一部が、前記前記第一の側壁及び前記第二の側壁が前記Ｌ字状の部位によって補強された補強範囲に配置されることを特徴とする。 An image forming apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a functional member used for forming an image, and an image forming unit that forms an image and a first side provided on one side of the image forming unit. A second side wall provided on a side surface opposite to the first side wall side with respect to the image forming unit so as to face the first side wall across the image forming unit. A bridging member having one end fixed to the first side wall and the other end fixed to the second side wall, and spanning between the side walls, wherein the side walls are different from each other at right angles to the side walls. The spanning member having an L-shaped portion spanned between the side walls so as to constitute two surfaces, one end fixed to the first side wall and the other end fixed to the second side wall And a supporting member that supports the functional member between the side walls, The holding member has at least a part of an attachment range attached to the first side wall and the second side wall, and the first side wall and the second side wall are reinforced by the L-shaped portion . It is arranged in a reinforcing range.

本発明の請求項３に係る画像形成装置は、請求項１又は２に記載の画像形成装置において、前記L字状の部位は、第一補強板と、前記第一補強板の縁部と連結されて前記第一補強板との間で折れ線が形成される第二補強板とを備え、前記掛け渡し部材は、前記第一の側壁と前記第二の側壁とが対向する対向方向から見て、前記第一補強板における前記第二補強板が連結される縁部とは反対側の縁部に連結され、前記第二補強板が配置された側に対して反対側に延びて前記第一補強板との間で折れ線が形成され、一端が前記第一の側壁に固定され、他端が前記第二の側壁に固定された他の補強板を備えることを特徴とする。 The image forming apparatus according to claim 3 of the present invention is the image forming apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the L-shaped portion is connected to a first reinforcing plate and an edge of the first reinforcing plate. And a second reinforcing plate in which a broken line is formed between the first reinforcing plate and the spanning member when viewed from the facing direction in which the first side wall and the second side wall are opposed to each other. The first reinforcing plate is connected to an edge of the first reinforcing plate opposite to the edge to which the second reinforcing plate is connected, and extends to the opposite side to the side where the second reinforcing plate is disposed. A polygonal line is formed between the reinforcing plate, another reinforcing plate having one end fixed to the first side wall and the other end fixed to the second side wall.
