Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a toner case and an attachment member. The toner case has a transmission coupling. The attachment member has a drive coupling, an advance/retreat member and a lever. The advance/retreat member advances and retreats between a first position and a second position being closer to the drive coupling than the first position. The lever is moved between a first operation position to move the advance/retreat member to the first position and a second operation position to move the advance/retreat member to the second position. When the toner case is attached to the attachment member, the toner case engages with the advance/retreat member. In this time, when the lever is moved from the first operation position to the second operation position, the toner case together with the advance/retreat member approaches to the drive coupling and the transmission coupling is connected to the drive coupling.

Abstract translation: 图像形成装置包括调色剂盒和附接构件。 调色剂盒具有传动联轴器。 附接构件具有驱动联接器，前进/后退构件和杠杆。 提前/后退构件在比第一位置更靠近驱动联接的第一位置和第二位置之间前进和后退。 杠杆在将提前/后退构件移动到第一位置的第一操作位置和第二操作位置之间移动，以将提前/后退构件移动到第二位置。 当调色剂盒附接到附接构件时，调色剂盒与提前/后退构件接合。 此时，当杠杆从第一操作位置移动到第二操作位置时，调色剂盒与提前/后退构件一起靠近驱动联接件，并且传动联接器连接到驱动联接器。
