Patent ID: 8755715

Claim:
An image forming apparatus comprising: a housing comprising: a cover formed to extend along a first direction in a closed state where the cover is closed relative to the housing, the cover being configured to be open and closed relative to the housing while swinging around a rotational shaft parallel to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the rotational shaft being provided at an end of the housing in the first direction; an image forming unit disposed in the housing to face the cover in the closed state, the image forming unit comprising a plurality of rotatable photoconductive bodies arranged along the first direction, each of the plurality of photoconductive bodies being configured such that an electrostatic latent image is formed thereon, the plurality of photoconductive bodies comprising: a first photoconductive body configured to rotate around a first axis line parallel to the second direction; and a second photoconductive body opposed to the rotational shaft wherein the first photoconductive body is spaced from the second photoconductive body in the first direction, the second photoconductive body being configured to rotate around a second axis line parallel to the second direction; and a plurality of LED heads attached to the cover, the plurality of LED heads comprising: a first LED head configured to expose the first photoconductive body; and a second LED head configured to expose the second photoconductive body, wherein a first line formed from the first axis line through the first LED head intersects with a second line parallel to the first direction extending from an end of the housing opposite the rotational shaft to a point at which the first line intersects the second line to form a first angle, wherein a third line formed from the second axis line through the second LED head intersects with a fourth line parallel to the first direction extending from the end of the housing opposite the rotational shaft to a point at which the third line intersects the fourth line to form a second angle, and wherein the second angle is greater than the first angle.
