Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a movable member movable between first and second inside positions and between the second inside position and an outside position, supporting cartridges arranged in an arranging direction. At the outside position, the cartridges are detachably mountable outside a main assembly of the image forming apparatus in a direction crossing with the arranging direction and with a longitudinal direction of each cartridge. At the first inside position, the cartridges are positioned inside the main assembly. The second inside position is inside the main assembly partway of a movement path between the outside position and the first inside position. The movable member supports the cartridges so that a distance between adjacent two cartridges of the cartridges is increased with respect to the arranging direction in interrelation with movement of the movable member from the first inside position to the second inside position.
