<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To open a tray with a small operation force during using the tray and inexpensively realize that preventing the tray locked on an exterior cover from being unlocked by the vibration or shock of the opening/closing operation of the exterior cover when the exterior cover and the tray can be integrally opened/closed. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming device has a cover 21 openably/closably supported on a main body, the tray 31 which is openably/closably supported on the main body, disposed at the outer side than the cover 21, and integrally openable/closable with the cover 21, an elastically deformable pawl 32 provided on the tray 31, and hole 22 provided on the cover 21 to lock the pawl 32. An open/close fulcrum 13 of the tray 31 is positioned at the inner side than the open/close fulcrum 12. The hole 22 becomes narrow as the opening angle becomes large when integrally opened/closed in a state where the tray 31 and the cover 21 are locked, and is formed to the size where the pawl 32 is not pulled out in the completely opened state of the cover 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
