Problems solved by technology

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7B, the turning side end portion 94a of the paper guide member 94 hits any other portion (the front side outer member 96 in FIG. 7B), which creates a problem that the outer member 92 cannot be fully opened.
If the side exterior part 92 is made wider than the paper guide part 94 in order to avoid this problem (that is, if the opening corresponding to the side exterior part 92 is made larger), along with the increase of the width of the side exterior part 92, undesirably enlarged dead space

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] first reference figure 1 , shows the structure of an image forming apparatus X according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031]The image forming apparatus X is a multifunction peripheral having a copy function and a printer function. The image forming apparatus X has printing modes including a copier mode (copy mode), a printer mode, and a FAX mode, by a control section not shown in response to an input made by operating an operation section not shown or in response to receiving a message from An external host device, such as a personal computer, sends a print job to select any one of these modes.

[0032] Such as figure 1 As shown, the image forming apparatus X is roughly divided into three sections: a document reading section 1 forming the uppermost section, a printer section 2 located below the document reading section 1 as an imag...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an opening / closing mechanism and an image forming apparatus using the same. The linking part interconnects the outer part forming part of the housing of the device and the inner part rotatable about a shaft located deeper inside the device than the outer part for synchronous rotation of the inner part and the outer part. The link member has a stretchable length and has an elastic urging member that urges the link member in the direction of the extended length. When the outer part is in its closed state, the inner part is positioned against a predetermined abutment portion by the tending force of the elastic biasing part. Parts storage shelves are provided in the space defined between the outer part and the inner part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an opening / closing mechanism for opening / closing an external part, wherein the external part forms part of the housing of the device and is rotatably supported on a predetermined rotation axis for opening / closing relative to the device, and the present invention It also relates to an image forming apparatus having such a mechanism. Background technique [0002] For ease of handling to solve any troubles such as paper jams that occur during device operation or maintenance operations, a part of the housing of image forming devices such as printers, facsimiles and copiers is provided to be openable / closed relative to the device main body. [0003] Many recently developed image forming apparatuses are of the type that are set so that in order to reduce the area occupied by the apparatus, when paper is fed upward from a paper feeding portion (paper feeding portion) located in the lower part of the device, by placing The dev...
