Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, when it is used as a sheet loading unit between the upper cover member and the image reading unit, the image reading unit is basically located directly above the paper loading unit due to the miniaturization of the device, etc. Deterioration of the visual recognition of sheets taken out of the sheet loading section or sheets in the facing sheet loading section
In this problem, after the image reading unit is slidably attached to the upper cover member, by sliding the image reading unit in a direction in which a part of the paper loading unit is opened, the paper removal property or the paper visibility will be improved. the deterioration of
[0007] However, when the image reading part can slide relative to the upper cover part, the problem that the above-mentioned locking means cannot lock the pressure plate will occur due to the change in the positional relationship between the image reading part and the device body.

Abstract

The present invention provides image forming apparatus which is independence with glidingly place of image read device, and can stop upper cover member open when original manuscript pressing member is opened. An image forming apparatus includes device main body 1 equipped with image recording section 2, upper cover member 18 covered on the top surface of device main body image read device 30 withcertain space, sewing table cover 31 of image read device and upper cover member 18 are switched along same direction, Image read device 30 can installed in the main body along inside of upper cover member 18, The lock mechanism is configured to prevent the document press member from opening over a slidable range of the image reading part when the upper cover is opened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to image forming apparatuses such as copiers, facsimile machines, printers, and multi-functional peripherals having at least two or more functions thereof. Background technique [0002] An image forming apparatus in which an image reading section of an image reading unit is provided on an apparatus body having an image recording section is well known. In such an image forming apparatus, a technique in which the image reading unit is mounted in a rotatable upper cover member in the apparatus body is also disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the like. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-167801 [0004] However, in such an image forming apparatus, a platen serving as a document pressing member for pressing and reading a document, or an automatic document feeder that doubles as a platen is provided in the image reading section. Then, when such a pressure plate and the upper cover member of the appara...
