1. An automatic analysis device comprising:
a housing that houses an analysis device;
a work surface that is an upper surface of the housing;
a cover that covers the work surface and is axially supported to be rotatable about a support shaft between a closing position and an upwardly open opening position, the support shaft being provided on one side of the housing; and
closing means for inhibiting the cover from being opened at the closing position,
wherein the closing means includes:
a protrusion portion that protrudes rearward from a front surface of the cover,
a locking lever that is axially supported to be rotatable about a rotating support shaft and inhibits the cover from being opened by rotating in a direction from the work surface toward the protrusion portion to cause an engagement portion to engage with the protrusion portion, and
driving means for driving the locking lever,
wherein in a state in which the driving means induces the engagement portion to disengage the protrusion portion, an upper surface of the locking lever is flush with the work surface, and
wherein in a state in which the driving means induces the engagement portion to engage the protrusion portion, the locking lever inhibits the cover from being opened by being in a raised state to engage with the protrusion portion.
