Abstract:
1. A document cover for covering a document platen of a housing, the document cover comprising: a cover frame; a document pressing part disposed in the cover frame; and a hinge that is disposed in the cover frame and supports the cover frame rotatably such that the document pressing part opens and closes with respect to the document platen, wherein the hinge includes: a first member that has a rotating shaft functioning as a rotating shaft center in the rotational motion of the cover frame, and a first fixed part that is mounted on the cover frame; and a second member that has a fitted part that is fitted rotatably to the rotating shaft, and a second fixed part mounted on a side of the housing opposite the first fixed part, the first member and the second member being capable of changing states thereof between a first state in which the first member and the second member can be attached to or detached from each other when the first fixed part is mounted on the cover frame, and a second state in which the first member and the second member are prevented from being detached from each other by fixing the first fixed part to the cover frame when the rotating shaft and the fitted part are fitted to each other, and wherein the cover frame has a projection that projects to face the second member, and the first member and the second member enter the second state as the second member rotates around the rotating shaft and accordingly the projection abuts on the second member.
