Abstract
A recording apparatus includes a rotating body that opens and closes an apparatus main body which is provided with a recording portion that performs recording on a medium and rotates between a first posture that is a closed posture and a second posture that is an open posture, a biasing unit that biases the rotating body in an opening direction, and a biasing release unit that releases an action of a biasing force applied by the biasing unit to the rotating body in a range from a third posture, which is a posture between the first posture and the second posture, to the second posture.
Claims9
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a rotating body that opens and closes an apparatus main body which is provided with a recording portion that performs recording on a medium and rotates between a first posture that is a closed posture and a second posture that is an open posture;
- a biasing unit that biases the rotating body in an opening direction;
- and
- a biasing release unit that releases an action of a biasing force applied by the biasing unit to the rotating body in a range from a third posture, which is a posture between the first posture and the second posture, to the second posture.
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a moving object that moves between a first position and a second position which is a position that is located further from the apparatus main body than the first position in an apparatus main body including a recording portion that performs recording on a medium;
- a biasing unit that biases the moving object in a direction of a protrusion;
- and
- a biasing release unit that releases an action of a biasing force applied by the biasing unit to the moving object in a range from a third position, which is a position between the first position and the second position, to the second position.
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a rotating body that opens and closes an apparatus main body which is provided with a reading portion that reads a document and is rotatable between a first posture that is a closed posture and a second posture that is an open posture;
- a biasing unit that biases the rotating body in an opening direction;
- and
- a biasing release unit that releases an action of a biasing force applied by the biasing unit to the rotating body in a range from a third posture, which is a posture between the first posture and the second posture, to the second posture.
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a moving object that moves between a first position and a second position which is a position located further from the apparatus main body than the first position in an apparatus main body including a reading portion that reads a document;
- a biasing unit that biases the moving object in a direction of a protrusion;
- and
- a biasing release unit that releases an action of a biasing force applied by the biasing unit to the moving object in a range from a third position, which is a position between the first position and the second position, to the second position.
