IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming portion; an image reader movable between a first open position and a first closed portion; an openable member movable between a second open position and a second closed position; and a supporting member. When the image reader is located at the first open position, the openable member is supported at the second open position by the supporting member. When the image reader is moved from the supported state toward the first closed position, close of the openable member from a predetermined position closer to the second closed position than the second open position is limited by the supporting member. When the image reader is moved, toward the first closed position, from a limited state in which the close of the openable member is limited by the supporting member, limitation of the openable member by the supporting member is eliminated.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming portion for forming an image on a recording material; an image reading portion for reading an original image, wherein said image reading portion is movable between a first open position where said image reading portion is open to said image forming portion and a first closed portion where said image reading portion is closed to said image forming portion; an openable member movable between a second open position where said openable member opens an inside of said image forming portion and a second closed position where said openable member is closed to said image forming portion; and a supporting member for supporting said openable member, wherein when said image reading portion is located at the first open position, said openable member is supported at the second open position by said supporting member, wherein when said image reading portion is moved, toward the first closed position, from a state in which said openable member is supported at the second open position by said supporting member, close of said openable member from a predetermined position which is between the second open position and the second closed position and which is closer to the second closed position than the second open position is limited by said supporting member, and wherein when said image reading portion is moved, toward the first closed position, from a state in which the close of said openable member from the predetermined position is limited by said supporting member, limitation of said openable member by said supporting member is eliminated.
