A negative electrode active material of a non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention includes a first active material, a second active material, and a third active material. The first active material is a carbon material having a D/G ratio of 0.15 or less, where G represents the peak intensity observed in a Raman spectrum from 1578 to 1592 cmand D represents the peak intensity observed in a Raman spectrum from 1349 to 1353 cmof Raman spectroscopy. The D50 of the second active material is 10 &#x3bc;m or less. The second active material includes at least one of a first carbon material having the D/G ratio of 0.2 to 2.0 and a second carbon material having the D/G ratio of 1.0 to 2.0. The D50 of the third active material is 5 &#x3bc;m or less. The third active material contains silicon and oxygen as constituent elements.

In an image forming device, a paper feed cassette accommodating a plurality of papers is removably inserted in a cassette accommodating portion of a device main body. A locking member and a lock releasing member maintain a flapper at a prescribed pressed-down position. When the paper feed cassette is inserted into the cassette accommodating portion, after the flapper at the prescribed pressed-down position is unlocked, the flapper is temporarily caught at a position within a vertical swinging range of the flapper. After the paper feed cassette is completely inserted, the flapper is released.

An image forming device includes a device main body, a process unit which is inserted into and removed from the device main body, and a lock mechanism which fixes a position of the process unit inserted in the device main body. The lock mechanism includes a slide member, an urging member and a receiving part. The slide member is provided on the process unit and is movable in a perpendicular direction with respect to an inserting and removing direction of the process unit. The urging member is provided between the process unit and the slide member and urges the slide member outward in the perpendicular direction. The receiving part is provided at a position in the device main body displaced from a passage where the process unit passes when being inserted and removed. The receiving part makes contact with the slide member urged outward in an inserting direction.

A photoconductive drum device is inserted into and removed from an image forming device main body, horizontally from a side of the image forming device main body. The photoconductive drum device includes a frame, a photoconductive drum and a cover. The photoconductive drum is supported rotatably on the frame under a state in which a part of an outer circumferential surface of the photoconductive drum is exposed. The cover is supported on the frame in a manner capable of swinging. In response to an insertion of the photoconductive drum device into the image forming device main body, the cover swings to an opened position so as not to block off a light path an exposure ray irradiated toward the exposed part of the photoconductive drum. In response to a removal of the photoconductive drum device from the image forming device main body, the cover swings to a closed position to cover the exposed part of the photoconductive drum.

An image forming device includes a photoconductive drum, a motor which rotates the photoconductive drum, a charging unit which charges a surface of the photoconductive drum, an exposing unit which writes image information as an electrostatic latent image onto the charged surface of the photoconductive drum, a developing unit which develops the electrostatic latent image, a transfer unit which transfers the developed image onto a paper, a paper dust removing unit which removes paper dusts by contacting against the surface of the paper dust removing unit, and a rotation mechanism which intermittently rotates the paper dust removing unit.
