A close-assist device for assisting the closing of an openable and closeable member provided on an apparatus main body so as to be vertically openable and closeable at the time when the openable and closeable member is opened by an angle not less than a predetermined angle but less than 90 degrees with respect to the apparatus main body and maintained in the open state, the close-assist device including: a close-assist member provided on the openable and closeable member so as to be capable of dangling and rotating at the time when the openable and closeable member is opened; and a rotation restricting unit which, when the openable and closeable member is in the open state, restricts the rotation of the close-assist member in a direction in which it moves away from an opening/closing base portion of the openable and closeable member. <IMAGE> |
