Provided is an opening/closing device including an opening/closing member that rotates to open and close an opening of a housing, a shaft member that is formed at a portion on one side of the opening/closing member and is formed of a shaft about which the opening/closing member rotates with respect to the housing, a grip portion that is formed at a portion on the other side of the opening/closing member and is gripped by a user, a meshed portion that is formed at a portion on the other side of the opening/closing member and meshes with a meshing portion formed at the housing, and a restraint unit that is formed at a portion on one side of the opening/closing member and restrains the opening/closing member from being deformed due to a release of meshing of the meshing portion with the meshed portion.

Opening/closing device and image forming apparatus

An electronic unit includes: a circuit board that has a device mounting surface mounted with circuit devices and that is supported in a condition that the device mounting surface is arranged in a direction of gravity; an opposed member that is disposed in opposition to the circuit board so that a passage space through which a refrigerant for cooling the circuit devices passes is formed between the opposed member and the device mounting surface; an exhaust unit that is disposed in opposition to the circuit devices disposed on the circuit board and that exhausts the refrigerant having passed through the passage space; and a protruding member that is provided in an upper portion of the exhaust unit in the direction of gravity and that protrudes from the opposed member toward the circuit devices.

Electronic unit and image forming apparatus

A paper feed cassette or a paper transporting unit is selectively inserted into an image forming apparatus body. A manual paper feed unit is coupled to the paper transporting unit. A recording medium is fed out of the manual paper feed unit, passes through the paper transporting unit and reaches a main transporting path in the image forming apparatus body. An image is formed on the recording medium by image forming unit disposed in the main transporting path.
