    Abstract: A first cam moves between: a first position at which the first cam causes a development frame to be located at a contact position; and a second position at which the first cam causes the development frame to be located at a separation position. A second cam moves between: a third position at which the second cam, in cooperation with the first cam, causes the development frame to be located at the contact position in a state where the first cam is located at the first position; and a fourth position at which the second cam, in cooperation with the first cam, causes the development frame to be located at the separation position in a state where the first cam is located at the second position. The first cam is located at a higher position than the second cam in a vertical direction.

    Abstract: An image-forming apparatus includes a main body, a drive source, an image forming section, a coupling and an interlocking mechanism. The image forming section includes a trigger part and a belt unit including: a belt; and a drive roller and a follow roller opposing each other in a first direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the drive roller. The belt is stretched over the drive roller and the follow roller to extend in the first direction. The coupling includes a movable part movable between a transmitting position transmitting a drive force from the drive source to the drive roller and an interrupting position interrupting transmission of the drive force from the drive source to the drive roller. The interlocking mechanism is configured to interlock movement of the movable part between the transmitting position and the interrupting position with movement of the trigger part.

    Abstract: An image-forming apparatus includes a main body, a belt unit detachably attachable to the main body, a coupling and a first restricting part. The belt unit includes: a first roller defining an axis extending in an axial direction, a second roller opposing the first roller other in a first direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and a belt looped over the first roller and the second roller. The coupling is configured to move in the axial direction to come into engagement with the first roller for inputting a drive force into the first roller. The first restricting part is provided on the main body and is configured to restrict the first roller from moving in a second direction perpendicular to the axial direction and the first direction when the belt unit is attached to the main body.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus having a cartridge, a driver unit, a first universal joint, and a second universal joint, is provided. The cartridge is detachably attached to the image forming apparatus and has a first joint to receive a driving force from the image forming apparatus. The driver unit is configured to supply the driving force to the cartridge. The first universal joint is rotatable about a first axis and extends in a first direction based on the driving force. The second universal joint is coupled with the first universal joint and is rotatable along with the first universal joint. The second universal joint has a second joint coupled with the first joint and is rotatable along with the first joint.
