An apparatus is provided for fixing a shaft of a cartridge and an image
forming device including the apparatus. The apparatus includes a fixed
supporting part formed at a frame, and rotatably supporting a first end
of at least one shaft of at least one cartridge. A movable supporting
part is formed at the frame to be movable between a first position and a
second position, and rotatably supporting a second end of the shaft of
the cartridge. An operating part operates to move the movable supporting
part between the first position and the second position. The fixed
supporting part and the movable supporting part fix the shaft of the
cartridge, and the movable supporting part works together with opening
and closing operation of the cover. The shaft of the cartridge is fixed
in the proper position, but also a corresponding cartridge, such as an
image forming cartridges, is easily assembled and disassembled in the
frame of the main body when the cartridge is mounted in the frame.
