A hinge structure couples a cover swingably and separably relative to a body of an image scanner. The hinge structure has a pair of hinge units by which the cover is separably joined to the body. Each of the hinge units comprises a rod mounted on the body and at least one hook mounted on the cover and removably engaging the rod. When the cover is in a closed position, lying over the copy support plate of the body, the hook is prevented from being disengaged from the rod by a stop member. When the cover is in an erected open position, the hook can be moved along the rod into a position where the hook can be disengaged from the rod, thereby separating the cover from the body. |
