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.
