主权项 1. A cover opening-closing mechanism configured to allow a cover to rotate around a rotational axis with respect to a housing, between an opened position and a closed position, the cover opening-closing mechanism comprising: a connecting member configured to connect the housing with the cover and to define the opened position by restricting a degree of opening between the housing and the cover; a first contact portion disposed at the cover; and a second contact portion disposed at the housing, the second contact portion configured to maintain, in at least a vertical direction, the cover in a hold position by contacting the first contact portion of the cover, wherein the hold position is an intermediate position between the closed position and the opened position, wherein the cover, when in the closed position relative to the housing, extends in an extending direction perpendicular to the rotational axis, wherein an end of the cover, in the closed position, on a specific side in the extending direction is disposed along an end of the housing on the specific side in the extending direction, wherein the rotational axis is disposed on an opposite side of the end of the housing in the extending direction, and wherein the housing comprises a stopper configured to contact the cover when the cover is opened beyond a rotatable range of the cover restricted by the connecting member and to prevent the cover from being further opened.
