Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a duct through which air taken in from outside a housing is sent into the housing, a blower fan provided at an upstream end of the duct, a toner bottle provided facing a wall surface of the duct, and a fixing section provided on a downstream side of the toner bottle. A component-facing section facing the toner bottle is formed to be smaller in cross-sectional area than a fan placement section. Therefore, by absorbing heat of air around the toner bottle via a wall of the component-facing section, the component-facing section prevents the toner bottle from becoming hot.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the component-facing section is a rectangular shape set to have a greater length in a wall surface direction along a surface of the wall than in a thickness direction of the wall.
