Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a supporting member (tray) for supporting cartridges, wherein the tray is movable to an outside position, a first inside position, and a second inside position; a first positioning portion, provided in a main assembly, for positioning an associated cartridge of the cartridges when the tray is located at the first inside position, and a first preventing portion, provided in the main assembly, for preventing rotation of the associated cartridge about the first positioning portion; and a second positioning portion, provided to the tray, for positioning the associated cartridge when the tray is located between the outside position and the second inside position. The second positioning portion is in a state in which the second positioning portion is spaced from the associated cartridge, when the tray is located at the first inside position.

Claim (Index 12):
An image forming apparatus forming an image on a recording material, comprising:\n a main assembly; a supporting member, to be received in the main assembly, for supporting a plurality of cartridges, wherein the supporting member is movable to an outside position to which the supporting member is capable of being pulled out of the main assembly and where the cartridges are detachably mountable to the supporting member, a first inside position where the cartridges are positioned inside of the main assembly, and a second inside position where the supporting member is movable to the outside position and the first inside position inside of the main assembly; a first positioning portion, provided in the main assembly, positioning an associated cartridge of the cartridges when the supporting member is located at the first inside position; a first preventing portion, provided in the main assembly, preventing rotation of the associated cartridge about the first positioning portion, the first positioning portion being spaced from the associated cartridge when the supporting member is located at the second inside position; and a second positioning portion positioning the associated cartridge when the supporting member is located at the second inside position, wherein the second positioning portion is spaced from the associated cartridge, when the supporting member is located at the first inside position.
