Patent ID: 7880757

Claim:
An image forming device comprising: a light emitting diode head arranged to form an electrostatic latent image by irradiating light onto a photoconductive drum; a slide member attached to the light emitting diode head, the slide member arranged to move between a position at which the light emitting diode head is adjacent to the photoconductive drum, and a position at which the light emitting diode head is spaced apart from the photoconductive drum; and a positioning body arranged to position the light emitting diode head with respect to the photoconductive drum, the positioning body having an axis that is not parallel to a moving direction of the slide member; wherein the slide member includes a base side member arranged to slide in a first direction and a leading end side member arranged to move with respect to the base side member in a second direction that is different from the first direction; and a rolling body is arranged between the leading end side member and the base side member.
