Patent abstract
In an image forming apparatus, a rigid-body plate, which is to be placed across a scanning unit for constituting a housing, also serves as an upper cover of the scanning unit, and the scanning unit is suspended on the rigid-body plate at an interior position from a top cover of an upper portion of the housing of the image forming apparatus. This obviates a necessity for interposing, between the scanning unit and a photosensitive drum, a rigid-body plate or the like used for mounting the scanning unit, thereby shortening a distance between the scanning unit and the photosensitive drum.
