Abstract
A second link member 47 has a protruding portion 48 and a first cover 42 has a bumped portion 42a. In an open state of the first cover 42, the protruding portion 48 and the bumped portion 42a abut against each other, thereby restricting the movement of the second link member 47 in a direction in which the display panel 41 is pressed.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an opening and closing member which is movably provided with respect to an apparatus main body of the image forming apparatus to open and close the inside of the apparatus main body;
- and
- a movable member which has an operating unit, in which a pressing operation is performed, and is movably connected with respect to the opening and closing member,
- wherein the movable member moves in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member to be able to open and close the inside of the apparatus main body, together with the opening and closing member, and
- wherein the movable member includes a bumping portion, the opening and closing member includes a bumped portion, and the bumping portion abuts against the bumped portion in an open state of the opening and closing member, thereby restricting the movement of the movable member in a direction in which the operating unit is pressed.

An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an opening and closing member which is provided to be movable between an open position where the inside of the apparatus main body is opened and a closed position where the inside of the apparatus main body is closed, with respect to an apparatus main body of the image forming apparatus;
- a movable member which has an operating unit in which a pressing operation is performed, and is movably connected in conjunction with respect to the opening and closing member;
- and
- a connecting member connected to the movable member and the apparatus main body,
- wherein the movable member moves in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member to be able to open and close the inside of the apparatus main body, together with the opening and closing member,
- wherein one of the movable member and the connecting member has a rotating portion, and the other thereof has a loose-fit portion to which the rotating portion is loosely fitted, and the rotating portion rotates with respect to the loss-fit portion along with the movement of the opening and closing member, and
- wherein backlash between the rotating portion and the loose-fit portion in the opening and closing direction of the movable member at the closed position is greater than backlash between the rotating portion and the loose-fit portion in the pressed direction of the operating unit at the open position.
