Image Forming Apparatus
First Claim
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- an image forming unit comprising a photosensitive drum configured to be rotatable about a rotation axis and a developer device configured to supply a developer agent to the photosensitive drum;
a first frame made of resin and formed in a shape of a plate, the first frame being arranged on one end, along an axial direction of the rotation axis of the photosensitive drum, of the image forming unit; and
a first beam formed in an elongated shape, the first beam being arranged along and fixed to a planar face of the first frame,wherein the first beam comprises a resilient part configured to be resiliently deformable in a direction orthogonal to the planar face of the first frame.
