    Abstract: A process unit includes a photoreceptor drum, a charging roller, and a cam member. The cam member includes a mounting portion that externally fits to a shaft portion of the charging roller and a contact portion that protrudes to an outside of the mounting portion. Then, the charging roller is maintained in a separate state by bringing the contact portion of the cam member into contact with an outer surface of the drum main body, and the charging roller is switched to a contact state by rotating the cam member dependently with rotation of the photoreceptor drum in a normal direction.

    Abstract: A process unit includes a photoreceptor drum, a frame and seal members. The photoreceptor drum has drum flanges protruded outwardly from both end surfaces of a substrate. The frame supports the photoreceptor drum rotatably. The seal members are provided between both end surfaces of the photoreceptor drum and the frame, and support the drum flanges. Each of the seal members includes an elastic member and a hard member. The elastic member and the hard member are adhered and laminated with each other in an axial direction of the photoreceptor drum. Furthermore, the hard member is arranged so as to be brought into contact with the photoreceptor drum.

    Abstract: A corona discharge device including a corona electrode provided with multiple sharpened tip portions in a row includes a cleaning member which cleans the tip portions of the corona electrode while reciprocating along a predetermined movement direction set in advance with the tip portions biting into the cleaning member. A cleaning position at a surface of the cleaning member is different in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the corona electrode between when the cleaning member moves toward one side in the movement direction and when the cleaning member moves toward another side in the movement direction.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a functional unit, an electric circuit board, a pivotable support member, an outer cover, and wiring. The functional unit is disposed inside the electronic apparatus. The electric circuit board is configured to control the functional unit. The pivotable support member is shaped rectangular having a vertical length that is shorter than a horizontal length thereof and is pivotally movable about a pivoting axis defined to extend along one horizontally extending side of the pivotable support member between a closed position in which the pivotable support member covers the functional unit and an open position in which the functional unit is exposed. The outer cover is disposed more outwardly than the pivotable support member. The wiring passes through a pivoting axis side of the pivotable support member to connect the functional unit to the electric circuit board.

    Abstract: A processing device includes: a frame that supports a photosensitive drum; a bearing member that biases a charge roller in the direction to be in contact with the photosensitive drum; and a holder that is switchable between a holding state where the charge roller is separated from the photosensitive drum and a canceled state where the holding state is canceled so that the roller is brought into contact with the photosensitive drum; wherein a canceling member is provided in at least one of inside the processing-device attachment and an attachment body attached to an image forming apparatus main body at a front side to cause the holder to shift from the holding state to the canceled state. The canceling member causes the holder to shift from the holding state to the canceled state when the attachment body is attached to the image forming apparatus main body at the front side.
