IMAGE FORMING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G03G15/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: image forming device has several image formation modules detachably installed in the main assembly of the image forming device. There is a hole in the lateral surface of the main assembly for inserting several image forming modules. There is an element for closing and opening the hole. A guide section is formed on the said element for guiding several image formation modules to the hole. A protruding section is placed on the guide section for accommodating part of the guided image formation module outside the hole through contact with the guided image formation module.

EFFECT: insertion of an image forming module in the correct position in space when neighbouring insertion sections for neighbouring image formation modules are continuously connected to each other so as form a large hole.
