PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cope with a thick original by moving the position of a hinge pin up and down, to prevent a mount leg part from being largely turned or sprung up even when the mount leg part comes off from the mount hole of a device body, to stop and hold an original cover plate at the opening angle of a middle position, and to easily perform opening operation. SOLUTION: The original cover plate opening/closing device is equipped with a mount member (2), a support member (3) and the hinge pin (4), and the mount member (2) is equipped with the mount leg part (5) and a cam member (11) set around the hinge pin (4). The mount leg part (5) ascends and descends inside the mount hole (7). The support member (3) is equipped with a slider (12) and a biasing spring (13), and the slider (12) is equipped with an abutting part (15) sliding on a cam surface (14). A recess (16) is formed at the middle part of the cam surface (14). Rotational force required when the abutting part (15) moves from the recess (16) to a closing side is made larger than rotational force (F) in the closing direction by the gravity of the original cover plate (8). The rise angle (α) of the opening side slope of the recess (16) is formed to be smaller than the rise angle (β) of a closing side slope thereof. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
