ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a main body, an openable/closable cover panel, a unitary assembly, a holder, and a fastener. The openable/closable cover panel covers an opening in the main body. The unitary assembly is detachably attached to an inner side of the cover panel. The fastener fastens the assembly in place on the cover panel. The holder includes a positioning surface and first and second guide surfaces to hold the assembly on the cover panel. The positioning surface receives a positioning pin projecting from the assembly. The first and second guide surfaces are disposed on opposite sides of the positioning surface, and each guide surface slidably guides the positioning pin onto the positioning surface. The second guide surface is elastically displaceable to cause the positioning pin to slide off onto the positioning surface as the positioning pin presses against the second guide surface.
