Abstract: A developing device according to the present disclosure includes a developer container, a duct, a duct coupling portion and a handle portion, and is removable with respect to an image forming apparatus. The duct is formed in the developer container and sucks floating toner together with air within the developer container. The duct coupling portion is formed at an end of the duct and is coupled to a toner suction portion of the image forming apparatus. The handle portion is formed in the shape of a flat plate and is formed to protrude from immediately below the duct coupling portion in a horizontal direction. A hollow portion is formed within the handle portion. A through hole is formed in a portion of an upper surface of the handle portion that is protruded as compared with an opening surface of the duct coupling portion and communicates with the hollow portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a sheet conveyance passage, a photosensitive drum, a transfer unit, a fixing section, a conveyance unit, one or more detection sensors, an airflow generating section, a cooling airflow passage, and a shielding member. The conveyance unit is at an opposite side of the transfer unit from the photosensitive drum with a predetermined clearance from the transfer unit. Each detection sensor is disposed to face the transfer unit in cross section intersecting the axial direction of the photosensitive drum. The sheet detection sensor performs a predetermined detection. The airflow generating section causes a cooling airflow to flow between the transfer unit and the conveyance unit in the axial direction. The cooling airflow passage guides the cooling airflow toward each detection sensor. The shielding member blocks an airflow from a location around the transfer unit toward the cooling airflow passage in a direction intersecting the axial direction.

Abstract: An optical scanning device includes two cleaning holders. The two cleaning holders each include two cleaning members. The two cleaning holders are connected to a wire-shaped member. In accompaniment of circulation of the wire-shaped member, the two cleaning holders travel to cause the cleaning members to slide on corresponding transmissive members. Upon one of the two cleaning holders coming into contact with a first stopper at one end of its travel path, a circulating direction of the wire-shaped member is reversed. Upon the other of the two cleaning holders coming into contact with a second stopper at one end of its travel path, the wire-shaped member stops circulating.

Abstract: An optical scanning device (12) includes cleaning holders (511, 512), light transmitting members (52), a linear member (54), a winding motor (55), and stoppers (56a, 56b). The two cleaning holders (511, 512) are coupled to the linear member (54). The linear member 54 is driven to circulate by the winding motor (55), whereby the two cleaning holders (511, 512) move and each cleaning member slides on a corresponding one of the light transmitting members (52). When the cleaning holders (511, 512) come into contact with the respective stoppers (56a, 56b), the stoppers (56a, 56b) restrict movement of the respective cleaning holders (511, 512) in one of directions of extension of the light transmitting members (52). A contact determining section (913) determines, based on a current value of the winding motor (55), that the cleaning holder (511, 512) has come into contact with the stopper (56a, 56h).
