Abstract:
A frame for forming an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material includes a first stay, including a supporting portion for supporting the frame relative to an installation surface, for forming a bottom of the frame; a second stay, including a supporting portion for supporting the frame relative to the installation surface, for forming the bottom of the frame; a post to which the first stay and the second stay are secured; and a positioning portion, provided as a part of the post, for positioning the first stay and the second stay with respect to a horizontal plane direction. The first stay and the second stay are fixed to the post by welding.

Claim (Index 27):
A manufacturing method of a frame structure for an image forming apparatus, the frame structure including\n a frame assembly including a first post extending in a vertical direction and a second post extending in the vertical direction at a distance from said first post with respect to a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, a stay including a first welding surface welded to said first post and a second welding surface welded to said second post, a supporting portion provided on said stay between said first welding surface and said second welding surface and configured to support said frame assembly on an installation surface in contact with said installation surface, a first opposing surface of said first post opposing said first welding surface and welded with said first welding surface, and a second opposing surface of said second post opposing said second welding surface and welded with said second welding surface, said first post and said second post being welded with said stay so that said frame assembly supported to said installation surface by said supporting portion is not contact with said installation surface, said manufacturing method comprising: a fixing step of fixing said frame assembly to a jig in a state in which said frame assembly is not contact with said installation surface; a adjusting step of adjusting a position of said stay to said frame assembly by moving said stay in a vertical direction in a state in which said first welding surface contacts said first opposing surface and said second welding surface contacts said second opposing surface; and a welding step of welding said first welding surface to said first opposing surface and welding said second welding surface to said second opposing surface in a state in which said supporting portion contact said installation surface and said frame assembly is not contact with said installation surface.
