Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including a cartridge including an image carrying member and a positioning portion, and an apparatus main body. The apparatus main body including an opening portion, a rotatable opening and closing member, the opening and closing member including an engaging portion and being rotatable between a first position and a second position, an engaged portion, an abutment portion that determines a position of the attached cartridge, and a pressing portion applying pressing force to the cartridge. The opening and closing member rotates from the first position to the second position against counterforce of the pressing force, and the engaging portion is provided in an area of the opening and closing member that is closer to the rotational axis than an area of the opening and closing member that receives the counterforce.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a cartridge including an image carrying member that carries a toner image, and a positioning portion; and an apparatus main body to which the cartridge can be detachably attached in an intersecting direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the image carrying member, the apparatus main body including,\n an opening portion through which the cartridge passes when being attached to the apparatus main body, \n an opening and closing member that is rotatable about a rotational axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the image carrying member, the opening and closing member being rotatable between a first position where the opening and closing member open the opening portion and a second position where the opening and closing member close the opening portion, the opening and closing member including an engaging portion, \n an engaged portion that is configured not to become engaged with the engaging portion when the opening and closing member is at the first position and that is configured to engage with the engaging portion while the opening and closing member moves from the first position to the second position, \n an abutment portion that, by abutting against the positioning portion of the cartridge, determines a position of the cartridge with respect to the apparatus main body in the intersecting direction of the cartridge when the cartridge is attached to the apparatus main body, and \n a pressing portion that applies pressing force to the cartridge in a direction abutting the positioning portion of the cartridge against the abutment portion, \n wherein the opening and closing member is configured to rotate from the first position to the second position against counterforce of the pressing force, and wherein when viewed in a rotational axis direction, the engaging portion is provided in an area of the opening and closing member that is closer to the rotational axis than an area of the opening and closing member that receives the counterforce.
