Patent ID: 8600260

Claim:
An image forming device, comprising: a processing unit which performs an image forming process on a sheet; a housing defining a housing space that houses the processing unit, the housing including a first sheet-metal frame and a second sheet-metal frame that oppose each other and a sheet-metal coupling piece extending between the first sheet-metal frame and the second sheet-metal frame and coupling the first sheet-metal frame and the second sheet-metal frame to each other, with the first sheet-metal frame and the second sheet-metal frame being configured to support the processing unit therebetween; a high-voltage board which generates a high voltage to be supplied to the processing unit; first wires electrically connecting the high-voltage board and the processing unit with each other and supplying the high voltage to the processing unit; and a wire holding plate holding the first wires, and extending substantially entirely across the coupling piece in an extending direction thereof and being fixed to the coupling piece, wherein each of the first wires has a contact section that protrudes from the wire holding plate toward the housing space, the processing unit is configured to be attached to the housing space from above the housing and includes: a belt housing; first and second rollers that are rotatably held by the belt housing and arranged parallel to the coupling piece; a transfer belt bridged across the first and second rollers; a plurality of transfer rollers rotatably held by the belt housing between the first roller and the second roller; terminals arranged at a side edge of the belt housing along the second roller and being in contact respectively with the contact sections of the first wires; and second wires that electrically connect the terminals respectively to the transfer rollers.
