A folding assembly for use with an imaging device can foldably connect a first housing section to a second housing section so as to accommodate movement of the first and second housing sections relative to each other between erect and folded positions. The folding assembly includes: first housing section carrying a projection pin thereon; second housing section including a slot for defining a passage for movement of the projection pin, therealong, first and second restraining portions being adjacent to respective opposite ends of the passage and operable for releasably restraining the projection pin such that the first and second housing sections move between the erect and folded positions as the projection pin moves between the first and second restraining portions, each of the restraining portions including at least a flexibly resilient arm and a cooperating recess adjacent thereto, such that each one of the arms resiliently urges the projection pin into engagement with a corresponding one of the cooperating recesses, such that the first and second housing sections are in the erect position when the projection pin cooperates with the first restraining portion and in the folded position when the projection pin cooperates with the second restraining portion.
