Abstract:
1. An image-forming device, comprising: a plurality of process cartridges for a plurality of colors, each process cartridge having a process member that is used in an image-forming process; a plurality of drive transmitting members in one to one correspondence with the process cartridges, each drive transmitting member being configured to shift in a shifting direction between an engaged position for transmitting a driving force to the corresponding process cartridge and a disengaged position for interrupting transmission of the driving force to the process cartridge; a plurality of restricting members in one to one correspondence with the drive transmitting members, each restricting member moving between a first position and a second position and restricting the shifting of the corresponding drive transmitting member when in the first position; and a single moving member for the plurality of drive transmitting members, the moving member moving the plurality of restricting members between the first position and the second position, wherein the moving member causes the restricting members to pivot about an axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the shifting direction of the drive transmitting members.
