Abstract: To provide an image forming device that can prompt a user to check whether a waste toner container is completely attached. The image forming device includes a housing, an access cover attached in an openable/closable manner to the housing, a waste toner container attachable to the housing with the access cover open, and a lock lever that locks the waste toner container and the housing. The access cover includes a protruding portion protruding toward an interior of the housing. The lock lever transitions between a locked state and a pressed state of being pressed by the waste toner container, and, when in the pressed state, moves to a preventing position at which the lock lever blocks the protruding portion and prevents the access cover from closing, and, when in the locked state, moves to a retracted position at which the lock lever does not block the protruding portion.

Abstract: This resin trough body has an approximately U-shape cross-sectional shape that includes a bottom section and side sections on the two sides. Vertical reinforcement ribs are formed at a prescribed interval on the outer surface of both side sections of a trough body of a prescribed length. Further, near the front and back ends of the trough body, horizontal ribs are formed so as to link two vertical ribs. An accommodation space for accommodating a grating lid is formed by a pair of L-shape members being fixed with bolts to a fixing jig that has been attached to the horizontal ribs. The grating lid is accommodated in said accommodation space, and the grating lid is fixed to a bolt fixing section, which is a mounting hole formed in the horizontal plane of the L-shape members.
