Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a main body frame; a process unit which is removably fitted in a first direction; a pressing member which presses the process unit in a second direction; and a restriction member which restricts the displacement of the process unit. The process unit includes a restriction plate which protrudes downward from the unit frame. The restriction member includes a pair of sandwiching surfaces which sandwich the restriction plate in the second direction. The process unit is fitted and is pressed by the pressing member such that the restriction plate abuts against the sandwiching surface to restrict the displacement of the process unit.
