Abstract:
A resin holding member is supported by a one link member and another link member at positions further outside from both ends of a lens array and both ends of a circuit board in a rotational axis direction of a photosensitive drum, but further inside from an abutting pin and another abutting pin. Force in the opposite direction from the gravitational direction is applied to a portion of the holding member between the link members in a state where the abutting pins are abutting a drum unit. Accordingly, warping of the holding member is suppressed.

Claim (Index 11):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 7 , further comprising:\n a pair of first attaching portions that is formed on one end side of the holding member in the longitudinal direction of the holding member, and that is configured to be attached with one end side and the other end side of the first spring in the longitudinal direction of the first spring; and a pair of second attaching portions that is formed on the other end side of the holding member in the longitudinal direction of the holding member, and that is configured to be attached with one end side and the other end side of the second spring in the longitudinal direction of the second spring, wherein the first link portion is rotatably connected to the sliding portion and the holding member, with the first moving portion abutting the first spring attached to the pair of first attaching portions between the one end side of the first spring in the longitudinal direction of the first spring and the other side of the first spring in the longitudinal direction of the first spring, from a side opposite to the side at which the photosensitive drum is disposed, wherein the second link portion is rotatably connected to the sliding portion and the holding member, with the second moving portion abutting the second spring attached to the pair of second attaching portions between the one end side of the second spring in the longitudinal direction of the second spring and the other side of the second spring in the longitudinal direction of the second spring, from a side opposite to the side at which the photosensitive drum is disposed, and wherein the sliding portion is moved by sliding in a state where the holding member is in contact with the drum unit, the first moving portion that moves toward the drum unit in conjunction with the sliding movement of the sliding portion stretches the first spring, the second moving portion that moves toward the drum unit in conjunction with the sliding movement of the sliding portion stretches the second spring, and the restoring forces of the stretched first spring and second spring act on the holding member, thereby imparting biasing force to the holding member.
