Abstract
This invention relates to a copy sheet guide structure for use in an image forming apparatus. Plural copy sheet guide structures constitute a transport path along which a copy sheet is to be transported. At least one guide structure has a pair of guide members formed into such a shape to form a one piece unit when engageably assembled to each other. With this arrangement, fastening means for constructing the guide structure is not necessary. Further, sheet guiding ability of the copy sheet guide structure can be improved because the guide members are assembled to each other with high positional accuracy.
