ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic copying apparatus comprises a housing including a lower housing section and an upper housing section mounted on the lower housing section and capable of swinging to open the lower housing section, a photosensitive drum provided in the upper housing section, a support mechanism attached to the upper housing section for supporting the photosensitive drum to allow the drum to be rotated and detached, a guide mechanism attached to the lower housing section for guiding the photosensitive drum to one end of the lower housing section after the drum has been detached from the supporting mechanism, and at least one peripheral device provided within the upper housing section, put in contact with the photosensitive drum during copying operation and moved away from the photosensitive drum to allow the drum to be detached from the support mechanism. The upper housing section is swung open to allow the photosensitive drum to be taken from it. The copying apparatus further comprises a detect switch which is attached to the housing and which is closed by a specific operation necessary for taking out the photosensitive drum from the housing and a lamp which is provided within the housing for illuminating the outer periphery of the drum and which is turned on when the detect switch is closed.
