Patent ID: 8676087

Claim:
An image forming device comprising: a main casing; a photosensitive member having an axis defining an axial direction and a surface including an image forming region on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, the image forming region having a width in the axial direction; a charger comprising: a charging wire extending in the axial direction and configured to charge the surface of the photosensitive member; and a wire cleaner movable along the charging wire while being in sliding contact with the charging wire; an accommodating member configured to accommodate therein the photosensitive member and the charger and movable in a moving direction between an accommodating position where the accommodating member is accommodated in the main casing and a pulled-out position where the accommodating member is pulled outward of the main casing; a moving section accommodated in the accommodating member and configured to move the wire cleaner; a driving section extending in the main casing and configured to generate a drive force to move the moving section; a transmitting section accommodated in the accommodating member and movable selectively to one of a first path on which the transmitting section is connected to the driving section and a second path on which the transmitting section is disconnected from the driving section, the transmitting section being configured to transmit the drive force from the driving section to the moving section when the transmitting section is moved on the first path; a first switching section disposed at the main casing and located at a pulled-out position side relative to the driving section, the first switching section being configured to switch a position of the transmitting section from the second path to the first path; a second switching section disposed at the main casing and located at an accommodating position side relative to the driving section, the second switching section being configured to switch a position of the transmitting section from the first path to the second path; and a rail section extending in the main casing parallel to an extending direction of the driving section and configured to guide movement of the transmitting section on the second path, the transmitting section being in direct contact with the rail section when the transmitting section is moved on the second path.
