Abstract
An image forming apparatus including an apparatus body, a door, and a resistance applying portion. The resistance applying portion includes a body support member, and a contact member. The contact member includes a first member supported by the door, and a second member supported by the first member. The second member is configured to be brought into the contracted position in a state where the door is in the closed position. The second member is configured to be brought into the extended position by the door having moved from the closed position to a first intermediate position located between the closed position and the opening position. In response to the door moving from the first intermediate position to the opening position, the second member is configured to apply the resistance force to the door by coming into contact with the body support member in the extended position.
