An image forming apparatus includes: a housing, an image reading section, shaft sections, bearing sections, abutment sections, and abutting sections. The housing is provided with an upper surface section. The image reading section has a first wall, a second wall, a bottom surface and a platen. The image reading section is mounted on the upper surface section of the housing. The shaft sections are installed at the bottom surface and provided with a rotating shaft. The bearing sections are provided at the upper surface section of the housing and the shaft sections are inserted into the bearing sections. The abutment sections are disposed at the upper surface section and arranged to face the bottom surface of the image reading section. The abutting sections are disposed at the bottom surface and are caused by the weight of the image reading section to abut against the abutment sections. |

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a housing provided with an upper surface section; an image forming unit that is provided inside the housing and forms an image on a sheet; an image reading section that has a first wall, a second wall on a side opposite to the first wall, a bottom surface connecting the first wall and the second wall, and a platen disposed above the bottom surface and used for placing a document, the image reading section being mounted on the upper surface section of the housing and reading a document image of the document; shaft sections provided at the bottom surface of the image reading section or the upper surface section of the housing and extending in a direction along the first wall, the shaft sections include a first shaft section disposed at one end side, in the direction alone the first wall, of the bottom surface or the upper surface section, and a second shaft section disposed at the other end side, in that direction, of the bottom surface or the upper surface section; bearing sections provided at a surface, from among the bottom surface of the image reading section and the upper surface section of the housing, other than a surface where the shaft sections are provided, the bearing sections include a first bearing section into which the first shaft sections is inserted and a second bearing section into which the second shaft section is inserted, the bearing sections supporting the shaft sections so that the image reading section can be rotated with respect to the upper surface section of the housing; abutment sections that are disposed at the upper surface section of the housing on a side closer to the second wall than the shaft sections or the bearing sections, and are arranged to face the bottom surface of the image reading section; and abutting sections that are disposed at the bottom surface of the image reading section on a side closer to the second wall than the shaft sections or the bearing sections and are caused by the weight of the image reading section to abut against the abutment sections. |
