Abstract

A cover member attachment / detachment structure includes a first engagement part and a second engagement part. The first engagement part is formed in one of a portion to be protected or a cover member attached to the portion to be protected. The second engagement part is formed in the other of the portion to be protected or the cover member attached to the portion to be protected. The second engagement part is capable of engaging with the first engagement part. The first engagement part is made of magnetic material. The first engagement part is magnetically movable from an outside of the cover member without contact between a locking position where the first engagement part is engaged with the second engagement part and a lock releasing position where the first engagement part is disengaged with the second engagement part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cover member detachment mechanism attached to a protected portion and an image forming apparatus having the cover member detachment mechanism. Background technique [0002] In image forming apparatuses such as copiers and printers, parts that should not be touched by the user or foreign matter should be attached are covered with detachable cover members. In addition, in order to prevent the above-mentioned parts from being exposed, the cover member is attached by a method that is difficult to disassemble, such as complicated snaps and screws. [0003] There is an image forming apparatus having an auxiliary cover for closing an opening formed in an exterior cover for adding optional equipment. In this image forming apparatus, a bendable and deformable bent portion is formed around the opening, and the auxiliary cover is clamped and fixed by bending the bent portion, thereby closing the opening. [0004] However, even...
