Abstract
An electrophotographic copying machine of the type in which the copying machine is separated into two sections including a photoreceptor, a developing device, a supporting device for rotatably supporting the developing device so that the developing device is rotated as automatically being separated from the photoreceptor according to the self-weight of the developing device when the copying machine is separated into the two sections. Either the developing device or the photoreceptor can be replaced without damaging the surface of the photoreceptor at all.
