Patent ID: 7907865

Claim:
An image forming device comprising: an image-bearing unit including a plurality of image forming units each having an image bearing member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; and a unit accommodating section, wherein: the image-bearing unit is detachably accommodated in the unit accommodating section by being inserted in a first direction, the plurality of image forming units being arranged in the first direction when the image-bearing unit is inserted into the unit accommodating section; the image-bearing unit includes a first support member extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and a first receiving electrode disposed on the first support member, the first support member being located at one of an upstream end and a downstream end of the image-bearing unit with respect to the first direction, the first receiving electrode receiving electric power to be supplied to the image forming units; and the unit accommodating section includes a first supplying electrode that contacts the first receiving electrode in the first direction and supplies the electric power to the first receiving electrode; and further including: a cover that is disposed at an upstream end of the unit accommodating section in the first direction, the cover being configured to displace between a closed state and an open state, wherein the first support member is located at an upstream end of the image-bearing unit with respect to the first direction; and wherein the first supplying electrode is disposed on the cover and the first receiving electrode is in opposition to the first supplying electrode when the cover is in the closed state with the image-bearing unit being accommodated in the unit accommodating section.
