Abstract: An image forming apparatus (1) includes a frame (61) supporting an attached object (23) inserted into an apparatus body (2) and an attachment device (62) fixing the attached object (23) supported by the frame (61). The frame (61) includes a leading end plate (61b) facing to a leading end in an inserting direction of the attached object (23). The attached object (23) includes a fixing pin (65) supported by the leading end plate (61b) in advanceable/retreatable state along the inserting direction and formed connectable to the attached object (23), a biasing member (66) biasing the fixing pin (65) toward the inserting direction and a locking member (67) restricting dropout of the fixing pin (65). The attachment device (62) holds the attached object (23) being connected to the fixing pin (65) and receiving the biasing force of the biasing member (67) at a position gravitated to the leading end plate (61b).

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a multi-tray device and a relay device. The relay device includes a relay device cover that openably and closably covers a top side of the relay device. One of an edge portion at a side of the relay device in a lower end portion of the multi-tray cover and an edge portion at a side of the multi-tray device in a top surface portion of the relay device cover includes an inclined surface portion forming a shape by chamfering the edge portion. The inclined surface portion is formed so as to produce a component force in a direction to close the multi-tray cover when the top surface portion of the relay device cover bumps against the lower end portion of the multi-tray cover, while the relay device cover opens in a state where the multi-tray cover is opened.

Abstract: A toner collector includes a housing, an inlet port, a fan, a discharge port, a first upstream side filter, and a downstream side filter. The inlet port is opened in the housing. The fan is disposed in the housing, and intakes and discharges the airflow having flowed in through the inlet port. The discharge port is provided to the fan. The first upstream side filter is disposed on an upstream side of the fan in a direction of the airflow, and captures the toner and allows passage of the airflow. The downstream side filter is disposed on a downstream side of the discharge port in the direction of the airflow, and allows passage of the airflow discharged from the discharge port and captures the toner. The downstream side filter has a larger cross-sectional area of a cross section perpendicular to the direction of the airflow than the discharge port.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a protruding tray part. The protruding tray part is provided on the upper surface portion of a body casing part, extends in a paper discharge direction and has a convex shape which becomes convex at an upper side, and supports a part of a lower surface of a paper, which is discharged from a paper discharge port, from below, thereby forming a space between end portions of the paper and the upper surface portion of the body casing part. The paper conveying device is formed at a lower surface thereof with a guide recessed part. The guide recessed part has a concave shape corresponding to the convex shape of the protruding tray part, and is engaged with the convex shape to guide the paper conveying device when the paper conveying device is mounted in the in-body paper discharge space.

Abstract: A toner collecting unit includes a housing, an inlet, a first fan, a lower duct, a first filter, and an oscillation motor. The inlet is provided in the housing. Toner flows into the inlet together with an air flow. The first fan is arranged in the interior of the housing and is configured to suck the air flow flowing from the inlet and to exhaust the air outside the housing. The lower duct guides the air flow upward from below. The first filter is arranged in an upper part of the lower duct so that its approach surface, which the air flow enters, faces downward.
