Image Forming Device
First Claim
1. An image forming device comprising:
- a fixed frame arranged adjacent to a photosensitive body;
a slide frame supported in a slidable manner along a first axis line by the fixed frame;
a head supporting frame for supporting an exposure head, the head supporting frame being supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame;
a cam structure for converting an operation in which the slide frame slides along the first axis line to an operation in which the head supporting frame slides along the second axis line; and
an operation body for moving the exposure head supported by the head supporting frame between a separated position and a proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body by sliding the slide frame.

Abstract
An image forming device includes a fixed frame, a slide frame, a head supporting frame, a cam structure, and an operation body. The fixed frame is arranged adjacent to a photosensitive body. The slide frame is supported in a slidable manner along a first axis line by the fixed frame. The head supporting frame is supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame, and supports an exposure head. The cam structure converts an operation in which the slide frame slides to an operation in which the head supporting frame slides. The operation body moves the exposure head between a separated position and a proximate position by sliding the slide frame.

13. An image forming device comprising:
-
a fixed frame arranged adjacent to a photosensitive body; a slide frame supported in a slidable manner along a first axis line by the fixed frame; a head supporting frame for supporting an exposure head, the head supporting frame being supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame; a cam structure, arranged between the slide frame and the head supporting frame, for converting an operation in which the slide frame slides along the first axis line to an operation in which the head supporting frame slides along the second axis line; and an operation body for moving the exposure head supported by the head supporting frame from one side to the other side of a separated position and a proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body by sliding the slide frame. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. An image forming device comprising:
-
a fixed frame arranged adjacent to a photosensitive body; a slide frame supported in a slidable manner along a first axis line by the fixed frame; a head supporting frame for supporting an exposure head, the head supporting frame being supported in a slidable manner along a second axis line, which intersects the first axis line, by the fixed frame; a passive cam arranged in a projecting manner on the head supporting frame; an operation cam arranged in a projecting manner on the slide frame and brought into contact with the passive cam; and an operation body for changing a contacting mode of the operation cam and the passive cam by sliding the slide frame, and moving the exposure head supported by the head supporting frame from one side to the other side of a separated position and a proximate position with respect to the photosensitive body by changing the contacting mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
