<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hinge structure for a cover member excelling in recycling property when disposed of as well as preventing damage or shaving of a hinge section with a simple structure and to provide an image forming apparatus having the hinge structure. <P>SOLUTION: The hinge section 53a is composed of: a hinge member 55 on a supporting side, which is fixed to a body base 54; and a hinge member 57 on a revolving side, which is freely turnably attached to the hinge member 55 on the supporting side, wherein an opening/closing cover 50 is attached to the hinge member 57 on the revolving side. The extracting direction of a rotational shaft 60 of the hinge member 57 on the revolving side from a shaft hole 58 of the hinge member 55 on the supporting side (horizontal direction in Fig.7) is orthogonal to the inserting direction of a boss 61 and a hook 62 into the hinge member 57 on the revolving side from an opening/closing cover 50 (vertical direction in Fig.7). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
