IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING PLURALITY OF STATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134308 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING PLURALITY OF STATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The image forming apparatus described in the patent application includes a plurality of stations and stays arranged along a first direction, as well as a first board support member supporting a first electric board. Each station consists of a rotation shaft extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, along with a photosensitive member and a flywheel provided to the rotation shaft. The first board support member is attached to two of the stays to bridge a gap between them, and is positioned on a first side opposite to the side of the flywheel where the photosensitive member is located. The first board support member overlaps with the flywheel of at least one station when viewed from a viewpoint along the second direction.
