To provide a portable image formation device which can inhibit damage of electric connection parts when a detachable unit is attached while enabling the electric connection parts to be connected with each other properly in a state that the detachable unit is attached, and to provide a portable image formation device body.SOLUTION: A portable image formation device includes: a recording part 41 which records images on a recording material; and a device body which houses the recording part 41 therein. The portable image formation device further includes: a detachable unit 40 electrically connected to the side of the device body; compression means 12c which compresses the detachable unit 40 in a direction such that a unit side connection part of the detachable unit 40 attached to the device body moves toward a body side connection part 13; and a movable member 12 which may move holding the compression means 12c. The movable member 12 is configured to be movable between a first position in which the compression means 12c is located closest to the body side connection part 13 and a second position in which the compression means 12c is located furthest from the body side connection part 13.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】着脱ユニットを装着した状態で電気的な接続部を適正に接続しつつ、着脱ユニットを装着する際に、電気的な接続部が損傷することを抑制できる携帯型画像形成装置及び携帯型画像形成装置本体を提供する。【解決手段】記録材に画像を記録する記録部４１と、記録部４１を内部に収容する装置本体と、を備える携帯型画像形成装置において、装置本体の側と電気的に接続される着脱ユニット４０と、装置本体に装着された着脱ユニット４０のユニット側接続部が、本体側接続部１３に向かう方向に着脱ユニット４０を加圧する加圧手段１２ｃと、加圧手段１２ｃを保持し移動可能な可動部材１２とを備え、可動部材１２は、加圧手段１２ｃが本体側接続部１３に最も近づく第１の位置と最も離れる第２の位置との間で移動可能に構成されている。【選択図】図１
