ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a color image forming apparatus having an intermediate transfer member, including an electrophotographic photosensitive member, an image forming unit for forming color toner images on the photosensitive drum, an intermediate transfer member which is moved endlessly and to which the color toner images are successively transferred superimposedly, and a transfer unit for transferring the color toner images transferred to the intermediate transfer member onto a transfer material collectively. The intermediate transfer member is rotatably held by a holding member having holding plates, connecting members interconnecting them, and protruded guide members sliding on a guiding member of the image forming apparatus. The mounting and dismounting of the intermediate transfer member to or from the image forming apparatus is effected by shifting the holding member along a shifting direction of the intermediate transfer member by using the holding plates of the holding member as grips.
