Patent ID: 8237995

Claim:
A multifunction apparatus including two units, comprising: a first unit including an engagement portion; a second unit pivotally mounted to said first unit, said second unit including a lid pivotally mounted to said second unit; a stopper mounted to said second unit and pivotal relative to said second unit, the stopper including a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion; wherein when the second unit is closed relative to said first unit, if the lid is pivoted relative to said second unit in a first opening direction, the lid moves into abutting contact with the stopper causing said stopper to pivot to a first position where the first abutting portion abuts said second unit preventing the lid from further pivoting; and wherein when the lid is closed relative to said second unit, if said second unit is pivoted relative to said first unit in a second opening direction, said stopper pivots together with said second unit to a second position where the second abutting portion moves into sliding contact with the engagement portion of the first unit and then into abutting contact with the engagement portion of the first unit preventing the second unit from further pivoting.
