Patent ID: 8817337

Claim:
A transportable image processing apparatus, comprising: a main body having a front face and a rear face, the main body being provided with, at an upper face thereof, a document loading platen to load a document thereon; a document cover that rotates around an end of the main body on the rear-face side as a rotation center to open/close an upper part of the document loading platen; and a limiting portion configured such that, when the main body is installed in a vertical state so as to direct the rear face side of the main body upward to let the document loading platen vertical, limits rotation of the document cover from a state of closing the upper part of the document loading platen, and when the main body is installed in a horizontal state to let the document loading platen horizontal, allows rotation of the document cover, wherein the limiting portion includes a limiting member that shifts due to a self weight thereof to a limiting position so as to engage with the document cover when orientation of the main body is in the vertical state and shifts due to a self weight thereof to a retraction position so as not to engage with the document cover when orientation of the main body is in the horizontal state.
