Claims

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) A photoconductor, a charging unit that charges the photoconductor, a developing unit that contacts the photoconductor and develops an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoconductor, and a photoconductor. a cleaning unit that cleans the surface of the photoconductor by coming into contact with the photoconductor; an apparatus main body that supports the photoconductor, the charging unit, the developing unit, and the cleaning unit;
An image forming apparatus for forming an image by an electrophotographic process, characterized in that the charging unit, the developing unit, and the cleaning unit are integrated so as to be separate from the photoreceptor to form a process kit. Image forming device. (2) The process kit is removably attached to the apparatus main body, and the apparatus main body is supported by a lower structure and one end of the lower structure and is swingable between a predetermined open position and a closed position. When the upper structure swings from the closed position to the open position, a separation mechanism is provided that separates the process kit from the photoreceptor in conjunction with the swing of the upper structure, and when the upper structure swings from the closed position to the open position, the upper structure is moved to the open position. 2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the process kit can be removed from the apparatus main body when the process kit is in the position. (3) The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a positioning mechanism for positioning the process kit at a predetermined position relative to the photoreceptor when the process kit is attached to the apparatus main body.
