<p>An image forming apparatus includes a main body (10), a document board (20) to open and close an upper side of the main body while being pivoted, and a shock absorber (40) to reduce impact generated when the document board closes the upper side of the main body, wherein the shock absorber includes a link (41) pivotably mounted, at a first end thereof, to the document board while guide protrusions (41a) are formed at a second end thereof, and a guide slot (42a) formed so that each guide protrusion is movable. Since the guide slot applies to the guide protrusion a pressure gradually increasing from the first end side of the guide slot to the second end side thereof, a speed of the guide protrusion and a pivoting speed of the document board are restricted below a certain speed when the upper side of the main body is closed through the document board.</p> |
